Recenzii

Jonathan Gould's Can't Buy Me Love is, hands down, the best Beatles book since Ian MacDonald's Revolution in the Head. The subject is pretty much inexhaustible if the writer is good enough, and Gould is very good. He covers the group's cultural significance (pulling out a plum of a 1963 Eric Hobsbawm quote: "In 20 year s' time, nothing of them will survive") as well as their music. Using the minor White Album track Yer Blues, Gould succinctly explains how the Beatles operated on a different level to every other British Sixties band. Want the explanation? Get the book for Christmas. The Times Scrupulous, witty, and at times, appropriately sceptical ... [Gould] lets you hear with keener ears the way a great novelist lets you feel with keener emotions. New York Times Book Review Excels by providing what's been missing from many biographies: context. USA Today Essential ... his narrative literally sings itself off the pages. Boston Globe
