Saint John Lennon by Roseanne Bottone, Daniel Hartwell

One of the weirdest books I've ever read. John Lennon reappears after being dead for 40 years, and he jumps right back into his life like nothing had happened. He time travels, which everyone seems to be ok with, has giant love-ins, and forgives Mark David Chapman. A little too much 'all you need is love' for me, and a little too out there for my taste.

As someone who was raised as a Beatles fan (my mom had me listening to all her Beatles records from an early age) I couldn't wait to read this book. All I kept thinking while reading this was how different would things be had John lived. Yes, he is my favorite Beatle which is a reason why I really wanted to read this book and I absolutely loved it. The author really brought John to life and I found myself crying at time wishing he really wasn't gone. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the time travelling. I really would've rather seen John only walking around during the set time of 2020. It was when everything starting going back and forth with him traveling to the future and the past that got confusing. Besides that, everything else was amazing in this book.

I won this book in a giveaway. For a while I was struggling with what to rate this, because even though I loved the message, the story was kind of jumpy. However, I did like how the last few chapters tied a lot of it together. I also loved all of the quotes, especially the ones chosen at the beginning of each chapter.
