　　Amazon.com Review

　　This isn't Cynthia Lennon's first book about her legendary

ex-husband. A Twist of Lennon--a slim volume that John tried to

suppress on grounds of libel--came out in 1978. But now, 25 years

after his death, she finally feels ready to tell the "full and

truthful story" of their life together. Why? In his foreword, son

Julian writes of their being "dismissed or at best treated as

insignificant bit players" in the story of John's life; it's

Cynthia's goal, with John, to set the record straight. She does

make a case for being more than just "the impressionable young girl

who fell for him, then trapped him into marriage," and it's moving

to read, in his own words, of John's love for his son. And while

there's nothing new in her account of the Fab Four's rise to fame,

as the greatest success story of the rock era, it's a legend that

bears retelling. But most salient of all are Cynthia's sketches of

pain, regret, and intimidation. John was indeed a brilliant, loving

man, but he was also "passionately jealous," "verbally cutting,"

sometimes abusive, and often neglectful. (It is hinted that his

behavior may have paralleled that of the woman who raised him, his

Aunt Mimi.) Unfortunately, Cynthia's "response to John's

provocative and cruel behavior was to stick by him more solidly

than ever...[feeling] that if he could trust me and believe that I

loved him he might soften."

　　It's not this dysfunction, however, but rather John's use of LSD,

on which she blames the emotional "chasm" that led to the failure

of their marriage. And though the Lennons' divorce comes relatively

late in the book, the pages that follow are by far the saddest, as

they chronicle John's increasing distance from and neglect of his

former family--especially Julian, who would only see his father

three times after he moved to New York in 1971. It's no surprise

that Cynthia lays much of the blame for this at the feet of Yoko

Ono, who is described as controlling and insensitive, especially in

the wake of John's murder. But even though there's a lot of

bitterness and resentment in these pages, it's not overwhelming,

being offset by Cynthia's fierce love for her son and her

continuing affection for her ex-husband. A full picture of John

Lennon's life will never exist as long as Ono judges herself unable

to write about their time together, but John goes a long way toward

improving the situation. --Benjamin Lukoff --This text refers to
