Review Quote | It’s hard to define the relationship Elliot had with our family. But I ultimately think the best word to describe him is: friend. Perhaps our closest friend. The reason I wanted Elliot to write a book, first and foremost, is because he is a good storyteller. The fact that he was there in the lives of John and Yoko (and mine), is really just icing on the cake. I like hearing him talk, and I’m sure you will, too. |
Other text | A vivid account of the decade he [Mintz] spent as John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s confidante, fixer, and friend… It’s a captivating and intimate window into the complicated lives of one of rock’s most legendary couples. |
