Paul McCartney: The Life by Philip Norman

3.0

I’ve read a handful of McCartney biographies and this is certainly one of them. It’s not bad, per se, but it has a strange way of going on at length about the things we know the most about (his divorce, for example), and not turning over much new information about his solo career, which is often unjustly ignored. Though it had issues of its own, I much preferred Fab: An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney because it turned over more of the content I wanted to know more of. This is fine, I suppose, but the fact that I read it (very) slowly in between many other books over the course of the year tells you how much I loved this one.
