Summary
 Since the age of twenty-one, Paul McCartney has lived one of the ultimate rock-n-roll lives played out on the most public of stages. Now, Paul’s story is told by rock music’s foremost biographer, with McCartney’s consent and access to family members and close friends who have never spoken on the record before. Paul McCartney reveals the complex character behind the façade and sheds new light on his childhood – blighted by his mother’s death but redeemed by the father who introduced him to music.©2016 Philip Norman (P)2016 W.F.

So much information that missed the headlines, Paul telling his story and what a wonderful son, husband, brother, father he is. He had some strife but he is a good man, and the story told is how I came to this conclusion. It also gave me a better understanding of songs written by the Beatles and the meaning behind them. Long but worth the listen.

A very honest account of Paul McCartney, warts and all, the good, the bad, and the pure genius (the latter to which Paul is only too happy to remind us of). I thought I knew the 'Macca' story so well, however I knew nothing until I read this book. Philip Norman is a very honest and objective writer, all in all this book is well worth the read/listen. Now I'm on to his John Lennon book, I guess it'll be 'just like starting over'..... err sorry everyone!

I thought I knew it all.....however

I really enjoyed lustres to this book. The reader was good and even sounded like Paul at times.

Well researched and interesting

I listened to a John Lennon biography first and then Paul being a Beatles fan and it was very enlightening. Easy to listen to the narration is fabulous and story flows. Would definitely recommend as it will give you a better understanding of the highs and lows of a modern day genius.

Great read!
