R: After the short sections dedicated to each band member the book goes on to begin what seems like a conversation between the four men. It's absolutely engaging to feel as if you are sitting in on this recollection between these extraordinary men. The crazy thing is, as I mentioned before, John Lennon took no part in the compilation of this anthology but is just as equally represented as the Ringo, George, and Paul. The way in which this book has been compiled just makes you feel like you are really being let in on something special. In one scenario Ringo makes a joke about how in the tour van in the early years three of the band members were stack on top of each other sipping whisky until the one on top got hypothermia and got to move to the bottom of the pile. Paul responds in commenting that the life of stardom is doesn't seem so glamourous when you can laugh about the "Beatles Sandwich". The back and fourth conversational nature of the book allows any reader to feel closer to the content of the book than I ever expected. As I continue to read I get more a more clear perception of each of their personalities with each page. Along with the intimacy of the conversation, the many pictures that aid the text help ever the more to give a feeling of closeness to the band and the members. You are given a visual representation of their journey from teenage years to stardom.
