That's a shame, as the highlights of the book feature a conflicted and embattled Harrison dealing with disappointment, frustration and loss, of which there is plenty in the Beatles' shared history. .

Some chapters dealt with this subject in too much detail and length, but the remainder of the book was excellent. It gave a true insight into his personality and talent. I was reminded of the wonderful songs he wrote and ended up purchasing the Traveling Wilburys CD. It is so sad to read about the passing of a person in a biography and this one no different. Although George is no longer with us, his spirit remains, just as he wanted it.
