Paul McCartney: A Life Audiobook

" We listened to this in the car- found it fascinating- revealed things I never knew about the Beatles. "

" Good book for a one stop shop but if you have seen all the other documentaries or even read about Paul on the internet you won't be missing anything reading this book. But it still kept my attention. "

" NICEEEEEEEE "

" After having read the Spitz Beatles bio, this is little more than rehash. Will try the autobio/authorized bio sometime for a better picture. "

" I enjoyed this book, it seemed to paint a neutral portrait of McCartney and his journey through life. I rated it 4 stars for Paul fans. For others, I'd rate it 3 stars. "

" Well, I found out a few new things (not much) about the Paul and the Fab 4. Sad to read about Linda, who I admired. (I have a few of her cookbooks) "

" I love the Beatles and Paul was in 1963, my favorite! It was fun to read. "

" Well written account. "

" Really well written biographical book of the "cute" Beatle. The author doesn't swoon over the subject like some other books written about any of The Beatles. Book goes through his birth, to his meeting with John Lennon, the death of his first wife, Linda, and his marriage to Heather Mills. "

" Peter Ames Carlin tells the story of Paul McCartney with all of his accomplishments and low-points, talents and flaws, successes and failures, acclaim and struggles. Carlin brings out the human side of the famous Beatle. "

" I have always loved the Beatles and so I was looking forward to reading this book. I realize now that most of their songs were inspired by sex, drugs and alcohol. This book is not recommended for young people. The language gets rough in many places. Overall, the book is good but not great. "

" I enjoyed this reading and finding out more about this musical icon. I suspect this isn't the most comprehensive telling of McCarney's life story but I'm sure it hit most of what someone would want to know. "

" Better than FAB, but not great. 3.5 stars. "

" A fan's perspective; sometimes he dwells overmuch on his own disappoinment in Wings. I was left with the feeling that perhaps we are all too harsh in our assessement of Sir Paul in measuring him constantly against the Beatles legend. "

" I love the Beatles and Paul was in 1963, my favorite! It was fun to read. "

" If you were a part of Beatle Mania, the you know this guy! Paul McCartney is one of teh most famous musicians of all time and this is his full biography. "

" Nothing new here. Too much rehashing of Beatles songs, your time would be better spent just listening to the songs instead of reading this book. When a book is subtitled "A Life" I expect more biographical information than this book has. "

" Interesting historical perspective. These guys are still driving Rock. Classic band flame-out. Recommend for anyone interested in the group's dynamics. "

" What was there was good, but I would have liked more. Like how he & Linda became vegetarians, her cookbooks & frozen food line, their gig on The Simpsons... The narrator was a bit too stuffy, but ok. Now someone needs to write a good bio on George & Ringo. "

" An icon of my age. John and Paul are more alike than different. I finished the book last night and I went from Linda's death to George's. When I got to George I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. The Beatles were such a part of my youth. "
