The Lennon Companion 170 - 248

This book was written with people who know about John Lennon by author. First, it shows John and Yoko's interview that is famous. They talked his thought about war and peace. He had been appealing violence (war) is wrong with his wife. His a lot of songs have relation to his childhood. The interview had such a his background. Then he met Yoko so that he tried to love somebody and appeal peace.
Next expression of this book is his couple solo albums that are criticized by people. After the end of the Beatles, the members released their solo albums. John Lennon and Paul MacCartney have been compared as definitely two different types of great song writers. At the first time of their solo activities, John and Paul fought each other because of one reason that is related to Yoko. His first album 'imagine' showed his first expression of peace. This song, everyone knows, is still remarkable in the world. After released this album, he and she energetically campaigned against Vietnam War. Then FBI watched their activity against the war. They were criticized by people who agreed with the war. However a lot of young people followed him because he was charisma and his massage affected to the world so that American government was afraid of him. Then John and Yoko were exiled from the United States. But they stayed there. He had stopped to release albums for five years because he had been a house husband. However he released his last album ' Double Fantasy' that shows love he thinks. Sadly, he was killed by his wild fan. It is really wrong that murders become famous because they kill famous person.
At the end of this book, author says his biography and the Beatles life. His massages that appeal to us are shown by this book.

Opinion
I am done to read this book finally. and it was hard to read and summarize. However this book shows his life that is interesting for me. His life is great and wonderful. As a member of the most famous group in the world, he had been appealing peace. He though love can change the world. His interesing word is I'm not hero but you are hero which means you should do something by yourself. His massages are still alive and yesterday was the anniversary of his death. I think if each person faces and hopes seriously, this world will be better. He taught me a lot of things.
