""In His Own Write" features the same sort of surreal turns of phrase that insinuated themselves into late-period Beatles classics such as 'Come Together' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever.'"--"San Francisco Chronicle"

"Lennon's marvelously clever "In His Own Write" was the surprise literary sensation of 1964....you get Lennon's biting humor and brilliant puns: Lewis Carroll as rock star."--"Tampa Tribune"

"A quirky, funny collection of stories, poems and drawings."--"The New York Times"

"Worth the attention of anyone who fears for the impoverishment of the English language and the British imagination."--"The Times Literary Supplement"

"Lunatic humor. . . Zany, offbeat, and illustrated by his grotesque and spidery pen. It jolts the reader into gusts of laughter."--"The Guardian"

"[Features] a wit and love of words that recall[s] Joyce and fanciful drawings some compare to Thurber."--"Hartford Courant" (Connecticut)

"Fascinating. . . It goes down like pure whimsy and then back-kicks like a sick mule."--"The Sunday Times"

"Bewitching."--"USA Today"
