George Harrison – The Reluctant Beatle
by Phillip Norman
A so-so biography of George Harrison. While it’s a brisk and engaging read, it also superficial. I didn’t find the author very insightful in regard to the Harrison the artist. It reads more like a chronological summary of newspaper articles and books about Harrison and the Beatles.

by Susan Cheever
Cheever knows how to keep a story moving. A fun, brisk read about a life and family disrupted by alcohol.
