"""John and Yoko are inseparable in our consciousness as well. Brackett is well intentioned — 'the point of this book is that [Ono] had a fascinating and important life of her own apart from [Lennon], one worthy of consideration on its own merits.'"" —Jessica Ferri, Los Angeles Times ""[Donald Brackett] he is an enthusiastic writer, sympathetic to his subject (not so much to Lennon), and alive to the attractions of an unusual person and an unusual life."" —Louis Menand, The New Yorker"
