Dafydd Rees - 'The Beatles 1963: A Day In The Life'

'The Beatles 1963: A Day In The Life' is an exhaustive account of what The Beatles did on every single day in 1963, with many accounts from eyewitnesses. It is one of the most well-researched books that I have ever read, but it was a chore to get through at times because there was just so much and the writing was very small. It made my eyes hurt.

However, I enjoyed it. I devoured Rees' latest work over several long distance train journeys from London to Liverpool, and found it almost unputdownable. It was a tad too heavy to travel with, really, but this cannot be helped. Rees has achieved something magnificent, and I am beyond grateful that he had the patience to research such a book - I'm waiting for his book on 1964!
