Story4.5 out of 5 stars 47
When she was eighteen years old, a girl named Cynthia Powell met a boy named John Lennon and they fell in love. Their ten-year relationship coincided with the start of the Beatles phenomenon—from Liverpool’s dockside clubs to the dizzying worldwide fame that followed. And Cynthia Lennon, John’s first wife, was an integral part of the swirl of events that are now an indelible part of the history of rock and roll.

It's always good to get perspective and perceptions of the inner circle. Cynthia was there. It's a little bit tough to see the flaws and the complexities of your heroes, and John Lennon was a very complicated individual. Wonderful insights about Mimi and the comparison to Yoko help me understand John a bit more. This is probably splitting hairs, but I would've liked to have heard a bit more about some of the other characters like the con man magic Alex. Still, this is a must read (listen) for serious Beatle enthusiasts.
