Of the Beatles, he was the least typically Liverpudlian of the group.-The Glass Onion Beatles Journal Painstakingly researched and detailed- The Liverpool Echo .

Understanding John JaneyDoe To know a man one must understand the boy. I've read many good Lennon biographies, and for me, this one tops the list. As you read about John's youth, the family dynamics that affected his sad childhood, and compare the boy with the Beatle that we know and love, the picture clearly gives us an understand. jfire said Too much armchair psychology. There's some interesting discussion here of Liverpool culture and class structure, but far too much armchair psychology on Lennon. Read and watch the interviews Lennon gave late in life to counter the grim assessment of him found here.. "I found this a fascinating read." according to Sophie M..

The Making of John Lennon focusses on the question of what might have caused the downfall of one of the most confident and brilliant musicians of the past century. Kenny emphasises three main influences which helped shape Lennon's creative process and stayed with him throughout his life. How did strong roots in his hometown of Liverpool, his troubled mental health, and a turbulent family background all form the man himself? How did his troubles and ultimate downfall affect his relationship with the other Beatles, his family, the press and the public? What really made the legend, John Lennon?
