I loved every minute and every word of this massive tome. A wonderful look at McCartney’s life from childhood to the present. Clearly exhaustively researched, with insights from many family members and friends throughout the years. Despite the size of this book, it reads quickly, thanks to the author’s easy style. Exceptional!

As a Beatles and Paul McCartney, this book is a must read. Of course, it talks in more detail about the Beatle era than the rest, but I think everyone expected that.
There is a lot of information that I didn't know about Paul McCartney or The Beatles and I have never thought about Paul as an insecure person, as is explained in the book. Also, everything written here just make me admire him more.
After reading this book, I'm looking forward to reading the other books Philip Norman have written about The Beatles (one about The Beatles and other about John Lennon).

I am just shocked I stuck with and finished a book about and written by an old straight white man.

Before reading this book, I could have said that my favorite Beatle was John Lennon but after reading this book my thoughts have changed. Paul McCartney has become a legend and still to this day. Excellent book.

Very informative, being a relatively new fan of The Beatles (*hangs head in shame*) there was a lot I didn't know. I will say though, Paul's songs are my favorite - Eleanor Rigby will always have my heart, with Hey Jude as a close second.
