Helpful Score: 3
I highly recommend this book. It was written by the man who worked as Lennon's assistant for the last two years of John's life. He tells of John's seclusion in the Dakota, and recounts tales of John & Yoko's relationship. Yoko, who had become John's business manager after the infamous "Lost Weekend" period, was distant and aloof towards her husband-yet still controlling of John-juggling relationships with two other men at the same time. She goes so far as to command John to enter a period of silence in which he is not allowed to speak for a number of days. She spends much of their marriage on the phone in her bedroom, and John has to ask her assistant if she has the time to see him. Despite the dismal state of John's relationship, the author shows John entering a happier time in his life just prior to his murder in which John was again writing songs, making an album, and promoting his music.
