Has anyone read this? My wife bought it for me for Easter. It presents compelling arguments that all the "Paul is dead" clues on the albums were in fact premonitions about John's death, and that John may have sold his soul to the devil in late 1960 for 20 years of success, at the price of his own (violent) death. I know it sounds far-fetched, but it is still intriguing, especially after having read the book. What do all of you think?

People have come up with various ideas and theories to sell books and not all of them grounded in truth. This is just one of them, IMO.

Far fetched? I wouldn't say that at all. A very unfair assessment.
Complete bollocks, that's what I would say.

No, I haven't. But I was kind of persuaded in that direction by the phrase "sold his soul to the devil." As someone who doesn't place a great deal of stock (by which I mean "no stock at all") in either concept ("soul" or "devil"), that kind of coloured my preconceptions.
Anyone who regards selling your soul to the devil as a practical proposition may, of course, hold a different viewpoint.

If John believed in the devil, why in the devil would he have written Imagine: Imagine there's no heaven... no hell below us. Above us only sky. Sorry, it doesn't fit. And if John knew he was going to die, why all the plans about touring etc. Why wouldn't he just stay at home, lock the doors and hire a lot of security and pull the covers over his head. Why wasn't he wearing a flak jacket and surrounded by bodyguards while wandering around New York.
