I was a bit apprehensive about reading this because of the reviews I saw on Goodreads, but in my insatiable quest to soak up as much information about the Beatles (and my favorite Beatle) as possible, it was obvious I had to read this.
Anyone who knows anything about George "the quiet Beatle that never shut up" is that he wasn't one to talk about himself too much so of course this was bound to be hilarious, straight to the point, and more about the music than him.
Whatever this book is, I loved it. It's always great to discover new songs when I think I've covered all the "good" one's so this was awesome.
Now if I could just follow through with my Here Comes the Sun tattoo then I think my obsession would be complete...

The lyrics of unpublished songs are the best part of this book.
It's an easy read, unlike most other autobiographies, which is good.
Must read for people who share the opinion that George was one of the greatest music minds to live.

I thought this would be more autobiographical. Most of it is his lyrics typed up, what they looked like in his handwriting, and a short description about said lyrics. Pretty disappointing.

George Harrison is my favorite Beatle, so I enjoyed reading some of his thoughts about life. I wouldn't call this a true biography though, because much about George's life and his relationships was excluded.
My favorite section of I, Me, Mine was the part with photocopies of George's songs in his own handwriting along with his personal notes on where and why he wrote them.

although expected from the quiet beatle, be warned ! this is not a biography but essentially a glorified magazine interview followed by all of harrison's songs, which I've never understood; why would I read the lyrics when I could just listen to the music ? it's like putting a bagel into a CD player

I get that this wasn't a proper "autobiography", but it was just weird and disjointed, and he sounded quite like a curmudgeonly old man at the ripe old age of 36.
