With so much already written about the Fab Four, does the world really need another Beatle book? In the case of this compelling and unusual account, the answer is, emphatically, yes.
The fete at St Peter's Church in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton on 6 July, 1957 marked an important moment in Beatle history. It was here that teenagers Paul McCartney and John Lennon met for the first time--and the event is mentioned by all Beatle biographers. Jim O'Donnell though is different: he became so obsessed with this fateful day that he wrote a whole book about it.
Attacking his task with the zeal of a great detective, O'Donnell unearthed weather reports, parish records, obscure local newspaper accounts, first-hand recollections...and finally bound them all together into an enthralling account of that pivotal 24-hour period. Written in the style of a pacy thriller, there is real drama in The Day John Met Paul--and when the meeting finally occurs, it comes as the dramatic climax to a book crammed with spellbinding detail. Of course, we now know the path the boys took after that day, but O'Donnell sets the scene triumphantly, writing of that brief, but seismic, first encounter: "Elapsed time from McCartney's entrance to exit: twenty-one minutes. Nobody would ever have believed how much pow and how much wow would one day come of those 21 minutes". --Patrick Humphries
