The John Lennon Affair: A Neil Gulliver and Stevie Marriner Novel

Being a Beatles fan, I bought this book simply because of the title. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself being caught up in the twists and turns of the plot line and it no longer became a book about John Lennon to me. It became a book with great intrigue and mystery, as well as the historical nostalgia and reminiscences. I love this author's unique approach and obvious knowledge of life in the circle surrounding the world that was Lennon. Not only did I love the mystery of the events in the book, I also found myself drawn to the story behind Neil and Stevie's unorthodox relationship. Now, I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series, and I am ordering the previous titles and cannot wait to read them. What a fun book!

The mixture of Yesterday and today was marvelous and I really felt as if I was Here, There and Everywhere. In My Life I have read many books (no, I don't want to be a Paperback Writer) and have enjoyed many sets of characters. Neil and Stevie are amongst the most fun and prove that one is able to get by With a Little Help from [Their] Friends.I look forward to the next one, and hope that when it comes the world is a better place where Peace *can* be Given a Chance.

I just lost a night's sleep because I couldn't put down "The John Lennon Affair" by Robert S. Levinson. Levinson evokes the world of "the biz" when Rock and Roll wasn't canned and stars were more than hype. For those of us who were there, it's a vivid flashback to scary times. For those who weren't, it's an exciting ride. But the real flip comes when the past impinges on the present. Levinison's characters Neil and Stevie are drawn into a thrill ride of murder and intrigue at a Lennon memorial festival in the desert. Good plotting, colorful characters and some thoughts to chew on. Five stars.
