You Never Give Me Your Money

4*, well worth reading

William Leith, Scotland on Sunday

A breath-taking record of uncontrolled fame's grotesque side-effects

Victoria Segal, Q Magazine

A familiar story, freshly told

Ludovic Hunter-Tinley, Financial Times, Music books of the year

A gripping account that portrays The Beatles as something much more interesting than the airbrushed gods we've recently seen

Guardian

A page-turner, and for its genre and uncharacteristically literate one. The shelf of Beatles reads is short, but You Never Give Me Your Money belongs on it

Christopher Bray, Literary Review

Enthralling...impossible to put down...fascinating

Independent

Highly readableand full of great quotes...and surprising anecdotes

Brandon Robshaw, Independent on Sunday

Refreshingly straightforward and highly readable portraits of the leading players...compulsive

Daily Telegraph

The Beatles story you haven't read

GQ

The book I most enjoyed reading last week was You Never Give Me Your Money, Peter Doggett's meticulous account of the Beatles in the years after the band fell apart

D J Taylor, Independent on Sunday

This brilliantly related work about the achievements and mishaps of The Beatles after they broke up is a guilty pleasure but irresistibly compelling

Boyd Tonkin, Independent

Thoroughly researched, brilliantly related work

Christopher Hirst, Independent

Truly remarkable...a gripping narrative...the most important book on its subject since Revolution In The Head

Sunday Herald

What Doggett has achieved is a laying bare of the darker consequences of enormous fame and wealth

Brian Boyd, Irish Times
