It's always heart wrenching to hear about a partner being left behind, of watching the other half change into something beyond recognition, and not for the better. As with any person dealing with an addict, Cynthia had a hard road to travel. I've often wondered, too, about Yoko's role in John's life, but I didn't know about her domineering control over him and circumstances after his death. By Cynthia's account, it's plain to see how John, although talented, was a weak and passive-aggressive man. Loved learning about the early history of the Beatles. 3.5 stars.
