Strong 4+ stars for this one.

Mintz was a close friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their Dakota years and he shares a bit of that life. He says he was “consumed” by them for most of a decade and if his story is true this was the type of fealty they demanded from the hose they considered their friends…although I’m not quite sure that “friend” is exactly the right term to use here. Month had a red light in his bedroom so he wouldn’t miss one of their calls, regardless of the time. That sounds more like an employee to me.

Anyway, the book offered an interesting look at a short period in the couple’s life up to and including John’s death. I’m not a super fan yet I found it fascinating.

I am always curious about John Lennon and Yoko Ono from the perspective of those that actually knew them, rather than through hearsay, etc.
This was a great quick read about Elliot Mintz's close relationship with the two icons and gave such insight as to who they were as people, and to how they were with friends. It is so very telling that Elliot Mintz has maintained the relationship over many, many decades. And the kindness and delicacy which he shows to Yoko is very sweet and hopefully creates a new, more accurate narrative about Yoko Ono.
