Rolling Stone's 23rd greatest album of all time
Tiresome self-indulgent rubbish from the former Beatle. Songs about his abandonment by his parents and psychological torture show a certain amount of self-discovery (I am assuming some form of yogic therapy allowed him to revisit times in his childhood). However completely lacking in self-awareness as he used to beat his first wife and he himself abandoned his first son in favour of increasing amounts of fame. It just seems that he has now earned enough money to be safe for life and has discovered certain drugs and spiritual awakenings and is now trying to rewrite his history. The music is also pretty boring.

This was most definitely a more cohesive book than the first book. This was mainly due to this book not having to say up as much as the first one did. There was far more of a linear storyline, and certainly moved away from the Sharpe-esqe series I mentioned it resonating with in the review for the previous book.

One thing I must say is, don't go into this book if you are faint of heart. You might survive the first 99%, but the last 1% might send you into therapy! It's certainly will change your relationship to the main character, Vespasian. Though the ending horrifies me, I'm intrigued enough to continue at my own risk.
