funny lighthearted fast-paced
i guess this has value in the sense that its SO john lennon to release a bullshit book like this but at the same time its basically useless and unreadable

One part nonsense and two parts brilliant social commentary. I love John Lennon.

This is everything but nonsensical. Through his own writing (and drawing) style, you can have some clear bits of who he was and the things that worried him the most. A wordplay enthusiast who manifest the kind reality he was living in or had once lived in a short but considerably off-the-wall humour. There is more to John Lennon than meets the eye, when reading this book. Very recommended.

Happy reading x

It was okay. Lennon's humour is definitely portrayed in this book, but I expected more.

Good book with beautiful quotations by John. After reading this book I understand John & Yoko a little better.

Bonkers and brilliant all in one go... sometimes I think he's trying too hard to be a 'wordsmith' but it's pretty darned good just the same.
