Tune In by Mark Lewisohn

Here is my latest book to blog from BloggingForBooks...


   Tune In is an epic history of the early years of the Beatles by Mark Lewisohn starting from their childhood to the beginning of their music career in the early 60's. It's loaded with facts and personal details about the Fab Four-many of which I never heard before.You get to dig into what made these guys the creative icons of the music industry. Nothing is sugar coated, I came away from the book realizing I would not have liked John Lennon as a teen, he was a punk and a lazy brat at times, but without that bravado I don't think the band would've succeeded the way it did.
  I admit that I did skip a few sections that didn't interest me, mainly things on the business end of the band. It's an overwhelming amount of pages to get through, so read what interests you and skim if you want.  There is something there for every aspect you might be interested in learning about the band: Family histories, family relationships, friendships between members, how the guys managed at school and work, personal tragedies.....Whether you're a casual fan or a die hard fan-buy this book! You will not be disappointed.
