Ola, Kim, Gunnar and Seb are four inseparable friends; four lives punctuated by the hits of the Beatles, their idols, four young people in Norway to the sixties where there blows a wind of revolution and uncertainty ...
Beatles book is quite disconcerting. It alternates a paradoxically pleasurable moments and carefree, with moments of vulgarity that are an anachronism who spoil and contextual strictly speaking, the tone light and fresh narration.
The escapades of four young boys are spread over a range variable, ranging from extreme sympathy of their youth, the excesses of their murky and unhealthy adulthood ... Even if one can accuse the time recounting of exert a significant influence on the disappointments of a generation in full melancholy, it clearly does not explain everything. The aim is obviously to bully the reader to appreciate wanderings disillusioned, whose importance is more than random.
It is difficult to say whether or not you come out satisfied that reading. The overall opinion is thus found, the image of the subject, full of ambiguities.
