《列侬的日子》(The Last Days of John Lennon)讲述了约翰•列侬人生与事业的精彩故事,从他早期的日子,歌曲到他人生的后几秒钟。它讲述了有史以来深刻的摇滚乐天才的故事,以及马克•大卫•查普曼(Mark David Chapman)----一个原本籍籍无名,却把列侬从我们身边带来的人的故事。通过对列侬的朋友和同事——包括保罗•麦卡特尼(Paul McCartney)的专访,这本书讲述了一个关于两个改变历史的人的真实故事。一个中的一个用他不可磨灭的歌曲,直到今天依然丰富着我们的生活;而另一个扣动了扳机,为这首美妙的音乐画下了休止符。
Discover one of the greatest true crime stories in music history, as only James Patterson can tell it. With the Beatles, John Lennon surpasses his youthful dreams, achieving a level of superstardom that defies classification. "We were the best bloody band there was," he says. "There was nobody to touch us." Nobody except the original nowhere man, Mark David Chapman. Chapman once worshipped his idols from afar--but now harbors grudges against those, like Lennon, whom he feels betrayed him. He's convinced Lennon has misled fans with his message of hope and peace. And Chapman's not staying away any longer.
By the summer of 1980, Lennon is recording new music for the first time in years, energized and ready for it to be "(Just Like) Starting Over." He can't wait to show the world what he will do.
Neither can Chapman, who quits his security job and boards a flight to New York, a handgun and bullets stowed in his luggage.
The greatest true-crime story in music history, as only James Patterson can tell it. Enriched by exclusive interviews with Lennon's friends and associates, including Paul McCartney, The Last Days of John Lennon is the thrilling true story of two men who changed history: One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day--and the other who ended the beautiful music with five pulls of a trigger.
