Book Overview
The relationship between John Lennon and Paul McCartney was the dynamic centre of all that the Beatles did, of all they achieved as musicians and as cultural icons. Noted rock biographer Geoffrey Giuliano delves into the little-known details of John and Paul's friendship to reveal how what was happening in their lives influenced their songs. He analyzes the songs and the albums, addressing each musician's respective contributions in writing and recording. In addition, Giuliano provides a discography, a chronology, and information on songs written for other artists that were never released commercially.

Two Of Us, The Bomb!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am just 15 years old and wasn't even born when the Beatles were together, but this book has taught me so much about the creative genius behind the group and has written in a fairminded, carefully researched manner. Thank you Geoffrey Giuliano for this great book.

I have always been into the music, but never into the history of it until I got this for my birthday. I have to say I am very thankful for my sister for getting this for me. Now, I am collecting everyone of Giuliano's books. I not only love the history now, but I love his writing.
well-written and well-thought-out

Help! A contingent of MacManiacs are laying seige to this site. Just before these fetishists club me to death let me say that (duck) it seems to me this book (dodge) paints a fairly flattering portrait of the object of their adoration (ow!), and that I consider this book very well-written and well-thought-out for (ouch!) a Beatles book. Whether you should be (pant, pant) wasting your time reading Beatles books at all is another matter--keeps you off the streets I expect. (Crunch!)
engaging, fair, and intelligent
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Regarding: "Read, Many Years From Now (Barry Miles), at least his book is intelligently researched and uses Paul McCartney as his main source of information." For ought I know "Many Years From Now" may be a perfectly fine book in its way, but anyone of discernment who's read a McCartney interview (or, say, the "McCartney" album press release, in which McCartney explains that he, McCartney, has quit the Beatles) knows that a book that "uses Paul McCartney as [its] main source of information" will be of doubtful veracity. In any case, "The Two of Us" is engagingly written, intelligent, and reasonably fair, I think, to all parties--probably the most readable Beatles book I've yet encountered. It doesn't contain much new information, but let's face it, how much new information is there possibly to be had? (I also like George Martin's "All You Need Is [?] Ears".)
