But, to be fair, the premise of the book is interesting. I was a child back in the 60s, a pre-teen, and knew nothing about all this particular Beatles intrigue; I simply wasn't old enough. But I loved the Beatles and their music all the same, watching their cartoons on TV as if they made them just for me. They made my childhood much less tedious. They were like the promise of something better down the road. They bottled joy and excitement.So I was quite late to the "Paul is Dead" party! More than half a century late. I had only come across the "Paul is Dead" thing on the Internet a couple of years ago, it blew my mind (what will all the conspiracy nutwads come up with next?) and I was prepared for it to be ridiculous and unsupportable once I fully delved into it. But as I read more and more, the less skeptical I became! It actually started to seem plausible. This shocked me. This is possibly the only conspiracy, of the many that are presented all the time by those that love them (e.g., UFOs in flocks over the Hudson River Valley, alien autopsies, Hitler didn't die, Obama is a Muslim, Brian Jones was murdered), that I might possibly believe. (But I still think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.)Eventually I went to Amazon to see what might be available there. Lo and behold...several works on "Paul is Dead". This particular one looked pretty good...the customer reviews were mixed, but enough people thought this was good stuff, so I decided to order the Kindle sample. I then read the Kindle sample, and was quite intrigued. Not bad at all. Schultze laid out the case in a somewhat repetitive, yet still readable manner (he goes on and on about what constitutes a hoax, and what a hoax isn't, and seems to like that topic very much), and I wanted to get the rest of the book, and so I did buy it. I was actually looking forward to reading the rest of it!I just read about thirty pages of it...What a downer. Sorry...Terrible book. Please save your money. Fan fic written as if its supposed to be the true story of day-to-day life as lived by the Beatles. Schultze writes his own dialogue for the Beatles, to flesh out his "story". Sadly, he has no ear for dialogue or feel for exposition of plot, can't punctuate, can't spell, can't edit. A decent editor could have vastly improved this mess. (Please, erstwhile Kindle authors, listen to me! Get an editor!) Another reviewer on this site complained about the same thing---it's as if two different people wrote it---one writing the Prologue, and another the rest of the book. Yes, it's truly exactly like that...how did the Prologue manage to be so much better than the entire book? (In my opinion, someone actually kinda...well...edited it somehow.)So, if you read the Prologue, you truly don't need to read anything more. Just order the Sample, and be satisfied.This book is really a missed opportunity. And it's confusing, too, because in the Prologue, and in the sell copy, it seems to present itself as a research work, i.e., non-fiction, and not as a self-indulgent piece of fiction. But it is that, and only that. It's a bundle of decently imagined possibilities that are killed off by poor writing. I wish to hell this guy had been able to tell the story he set out to tell, without sounding like a high-school kid writing stories for his friends.I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt this guy's feelings. That is not my joy in life, bashing people. I feel badly for him, feel badly that he will read this and wince. But he's hanging it out there, and I made the mistake of reading what he hung out for the paying public to read. I can't unring THAT bell!. ### ⭐⭐ The Editor Should Be Fired ... *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2014* I picked up the book hoping to find a history of the "Paul is Dead hoax," possibly some insight, theories, or anecdotal evidence as to what it was all about.After reading the preface, where the author manages to misspell the names "Richy Vallens," "Eddy Cochran," "Jimmy Hendrix", and credits "Brian Davis" as the late, original guitarist for the Rolling Stones, all in the same paragraph, I lost respect for the work. That the author spent the remainder of the preface arguing his theories must be true because nobody can prove they're false, just about made me put the thing down, give a one-star review, and move on accepting that my wallet was $3 lighter for no purpose.Instead, I kept reading what turned out to be nothing more than a pulpy fanfic novel. Characters are two-dimensional, unmotivated, and complete fail to impart the personalities and spirit of those they are meant to represent, nor is the magic of the Beatles in any way captured by the story. Dialog is stilted and awkward. Characters have seemingly endless conversations that are complete devoid of dramatic conflict, do nothing to advance the plot, and seem designed to give everyone a chance to spout a Beatle-lyric pun. This is punctuated by an omniscient, meandering narrator who then feels the need to recap each of these extraneous scenes in inner monologue a few pages later, presumably just to pump up the word count. Grammar and spelling are atrocious, there are plot holes you can drive a mystery tour bus through, and historical inaccuracies were so replete I found myself opening up other reference material just to see if it was the author or me who has some rather large misconceptions about Beatles lore and 60's music. (For example: Lennon and McCartney would not have been listening to "Street Fighting Man" and discussing "Voodoo Chile" in a pub prior to writing the lyrics for "Getting Better All the Time" ... at least not without some manner of time machine. This was arguably the least of the sins committed as far as rock history goes.)It was not until about halfway through the book, when I decided this was just going to be pure B-movie schlock (much in the spirit of a Beatle movie), that I was able to turn of my mind, relax and float downstream. That revelation, the fact that it is a quick read, and the $3 price point, earned it the second star. Basically, I still can't decide if I liked it though. I feel like this could have been a good story, but it reads like a very rough first draft that got about halfway done, then forgot where it was doing -- a three act play where the first act is 75% of it.Basically, if you're a serious Beatle completest who understands the value of camp fanfic, them by all means, give this book a cautious try. If you're looking for literary significance, crave serious insight into life as a Beatle, or are any kind of a grammar/spelling Nazi, just keep browsing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ wanted even more *by J***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2012* it was a good book. some things will stay in your mind. some of the owrds were a bit corny.. they would say things that were lines from their songs. I did want the book to be more real. but the story was good. and the paul death stuff was real good. a good read for any beatle fan --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8047785-beatles-the-untold-story-the-death-and-replacement-of-paul](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8047785-beatles-the-untold-story-the-death-and-replacement-of-paul) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
