Review
Praise for the Work of Graeme Thomson:
"Better musical surveys are hard to find, and the results are positively life-affirming." --"Paste "
"That rarest of rock & roll studies: expertly researched, restrained yet stylish, and in perfect tune with its subject's work." --"Austin Chronicle "
"Thomson is especially compelling in his illumination of Harrison s inner life, his robust spirituality, and his deep love of Indian culture. A must for all Beatles collections and for fans of the quiet man himself." "Booklist" (Starred Review)
"Boring is one characteristic George Harrison can certainly never be accused of. Neither can it be said of Thomson's magisterial biography." "Chicago Tribune"
"Do we need another book on the Beatles? In this case, definitely." "The San Francisco Chronicle"
