This book is a rare inside account of what life was like for John, Paul, George and Ringo at the height of Beatlemania. Most of the books that have been written about the band seem to focus on their dazzlingly creative later years; this is one that provides valuable information and insight about the equally exciting and significant music of their early period. News reporter Larry Kane has captured the frenetic pace of the concert schedule they used to maintain before they quit touring, the devotion of their fans which could often be both moving and dangerous, and the emotional roller coaster that the four very young Beatles endured as they dealt with the hysteria that surrounded them. It is a fascinating read for anyone who is interested in the Beatles or the musical innovations of the so-called "British Invasion" period in popular music and I recommend it very highly!!!Read full review

I bought 'Ticket to Ride' by Larry Kane to read about what went on behind the scenes of the first Beatles tour. I found it very interesting and informative. I am also sure that Larry left out a lot of things that happened and,should have been left in... I still found it'A good read' Thanks Larry Regards , M T D
