"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" is a biography about The Beatles from the beginning of their career till the very end. Bob Spitz, the author, basically sums up how The Beatles became the most influential band of all time. Spitz writes, "But on the radio, on vinyl and cassette and CD, they became not kids, not a band, not anything like anything else, they were The Beatles. A vastness of talent, of charm, of genius incomprehensible, an ocean like the one the four boys had once looked out on, peering west from the hills of Liverpool. And from them, a flood of song and love and pain and beauty, a flood that cascaded out of the Cavern and Hamburg and London into the world, a flow that pushed aside what had come before and, in the end, nourished." The Beatles had many unique qualities as a band and individually. The Beatles took rock 'n' roll and made it everything it is today. The Beatles started their career poor and unknown, but finished as the greatest band of all time.

Bob Spitz wrote a wonderful biography on The Beatles journey called "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" In the book, Spitz writes about everything that brought The Beatles together and apart at the end of their career. I was expecting the book to be boring, but Spitz surprised me and kept me hooked throughout the book. I learned a lot from the book. I almost feel like a Beatles expert now. I know just about everything about them and every hard time they had.

There were a few things I loved about the book. I loved how descriptive Spitz was. It wasn't overly descriptive to where the reader would be bored, but just the perfect amount. I also loved how Spitz wrote in general. He used a lot of similes and metaphors in his writing. I also loved how he began and ended the book. The only thing I did not like about the book was how long it took me to read. It was too much information to take in the time I had to read it. It was quite overwhelming. Overall, I would say Bob Spitz wrote a pretty good book.
