![]() ![]() In three years of research, Norman has turned up an extraordinary amount of new information about even the best-known episodes of Lennon folklore-his upbringing by his strict Aunt Mimi his allegedly wasted school and student days the evolution of his peerless creative partnership with Paul McCartney his Beatle-busting love affair with a Japanese performance artist his forays into painting and literature his experiments with Transcendental Meditation, primal scream therapy, and drugs. This masterly biography takes a fresh and penetrating look at every aspect of Lennon's much-chronicled life, including the songs that have turned him, posthumously, into a near-secular saint. Drawing on previously untapped sources, and with unprecedented access to all the major characters, Norman presents the comprehensive and most revealing portrait of John Lennon ever published. ![]() ![]() Now, at last, Norman turns his formidable talent to the Beatle for whom being a Beatle was never enough. ![]() For more than a quarter century, biographer Philip Norman's internationally bestselling Shout! has been unchallenged as the definitive biography of the Beatles. ![]()

While main character Ellie reminded me a bit of Dru ( Strange Angels) and Rose ( Vampire Academy), she still had an interesting voice. The inspiration, New Zealand mythology, was a pleasant break from the current vampire and fallen angel trend in YA books. "Guardian of the Dead" proved to be a worthwhile read. Not completely sure of what is going on, Ellie relies on Mark and quickly learns that myths and legends are all based in truth- the good and the evil. When she unknowingly stumbles into her crush, the mysterious but not completely human Mark, he accidentally opens Ellie up to her own hidden powers.
