First, this is an unauthorized biography, so most of this book has the words 'reportedly' and 'supposedly' and 'it is possible' - Okay - so, a guy read a book or two on George Harrison and then wrote one himself, to capitalize on the ex-Beatle?
I cannot take any information in this book seriously, as the author is CONSTANTLY saying that this 'reportedly' happened, or hypothesis of what George may have thought or felt - I mean, this is so poorly done, I would not recommend this to anyone. At least with Wikipedia you give sources for your information.
The photos are from Public domain, so nothing new there, the stories have all been told before, with the author's feelings about what was going through George Harrison's mind - I know what wasn't going through his mind - George Harrison never thought, "I hope that some hack writer some day decides that my life is worth him rehashing in a half a** way to make money for himself off my name."

There are rare occasions when appallingly poor writing, absence of editing and a gonna-sell-my-biography-of-the-rich-and-famous style all come together to render a dark stain on a great person's life story. I'm a huge, life-long fan of George Harrison. I should know better than to think reading crap books about him will do anything but offend. In the case of this book, it was not just the content that sucked. The writing was very poor, and the editor obviously was not paying any attention. My advice for Marc Shapiro: try writing catalogs, phone books, perhaps even restaurant menus. Clearly, writing biography is not your thing.

I was very disappointed in this book. He gets the facts wrong and seems to write with an agenda. I don't recommend it at all.

Whoever was responsible for editing this book should be ashamed of themselves. A poorly written glimpse into the life of George Harrison.
