About this listen

Since the age of 20, Paul McCartney has lived one of the ultimate rock 'n' roll lives played out on the most public of stages. Now Paul's story is told by rock music's foremost biographer, with McCartney's consent and access to family members and close friends who have never spoken on the record before.

Paul McCartney reveals the complex character behind the façade and sheds new light on his childhood - blighted by his mother's death but redeemed by the father who introduced him to music.

It's a very long book but that's because there's a lot to tell. And told it is... very well. Smacks of truth throughout.

Brilliant. Felt I really got to know Macca.

I dont typically write reviews. However, i am 56 and a life-long Beatlehead so mbe i am qualified, in some way at least, to comment here. I do not like the portrayal of ‘baddies’ in this tome and some of the comments about women are, i think, a little cringeworthy- but...and i have read every beatle book i have been able to find in my time (avoiding the cliche 'Life' word there :) )...elsewise i found it as much of a delight as i found it revealing...and i found it VERY revealing!! If you love your Beatles, or are just curious about who Paul might be, then press to play- you will not be disappointed!!

...but then i thought...you know what...

Wow that was long... 30 hours of sometimes upsetting or hilarious story's read in a manner that kept me hooked..
Never the Beatles fan and this from someone who grew up over the Mersey from Liverpool. I have to admit I am a convert to there music and YouTube's in order to see the events and stories this book has highlighted.
My Spotify is sick of me listing Paul's own music or that of the Beatles..
Brilliantly read and informative to someone who has never followed this man or his band I will own up to Being a fan at 49... because of this book ..

Enjoy it... I did...

Fascinating to hear this journey in this detail
