Amazing book about Brian Epstein
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2017
Excellent look at the life of the Beatles manager a sadly overlooked Brian Epstein who got the Beatles out of the cellars of Liverpool and onto the world stage.

It is a fascinating look at the contributions of Brian Epstein to the success of the Beatles. I am very aware of the role Brian played and very much enjoyed this approach to telling the story. The art work is beautiful, and Brian's story is told in a sensitive caring manner. This book is a must-have for all real Beatles fans.

Do yourself a favor & buy something else!!! This story is AWFUL!!! Some drawings are good, but the facts & story are garbage!
On top of all that my book arrived with heavy damage, looked liked it was thrown out of an airplane. I was so disappointed, I gave this book away. PURE JUNK! Deserves negative stars!

Well done, beautiful artwork & writing, but I was confused at the end had to look up what actually happened on Wikipedia. But I am sorta new to the graphic novel genre. Glad I bought this book as a gift for a dear friend. Yes, I'd definitely recommend THE FIFTH BEATLE!

I didn’t know this book is written in comic book form. What a disappointment!

「5番目のビートル」のコミック
Reviewed in Japan on January 27, 2023
本作はザ・ビートルズのマネジャーだったブライアン・エプスタインの物語。かなりリアルな絵のコミックである。パソコン上ではカラーで綺麗である。キャヴァーン・クラブでのザ・ビートルズの目撃、ジョン・レノンの「ザ・ビートルズはキリストより有名だ」発言、32歳での死去などが取り上げられている。創作の女性“Moxie”が登場し、話をわかりやすくしている。
「5人目のビートルがいるとすれば、それはブライアンだ」(ポール・マッカートニー、1999年)
残念なのは拡大しにくいこと。字を読むのに苦労する。安いこともあり5つ星にしたいところだが、4つ星に止める。
