Synopsis
Peter Smith and his son Sam had a precarious relationship until Peter introduced 7-year-old Sam to the Beatles. The kid never looked back. From then on, the Beatles--their music, their lives, and the context of their songs--constituted a strong bond that was shared by father and son, and that has persisted.

Publisher's Note
Before seven-year-old Sam Smith discovered the Beatles, he and his dad had little in common. Like so many kids his age, Sam was drawn to the Fab Four by their trivia as much as by their music. Peter was content to point Sam to all the clues of Paul's putative demise, to reveal who "Julia" was, and so forth. But soon the Beatles opened the two Smiths to each other. They began using the band's songs and exploits to fuel discussions of life's splendid complications--friendship, teamwork, romance, art--and its inevitable sorrows--failure, betrayal, morality.
Music fans will delight in this singular celebration of the Beatles' history and appeal. Smith takes us everywhere the Fab Four took him and Sam: from the boy's Beatle-drenched bedroom tot he circus of devotion that is Beatlefest to Paul McCartney's one-time bedroom in a Liverpool row house. But TWO OF US illuminates more universal experiences as well. Smith evokes with wry intelligence the love a father and son can share. And he limns the intensity of fanship with a wit and clarity reminiscent of Nick Hornby's HIGH FIDELITY and Stefan Fatsis's WORD FREAK.
Finally, Peter and Sam both realize that the object of their affection transcends any facts that could ever be amassed about it. The Beatles' essence isn't in Liverpool or London or in heavily annotated lyric sheets. It is, of course, in their music, and in how they help us understand ourselves and connect with each other.

Industry reviews
"This occasionally seems overedited..., but that small fault pales before the joy [Smith] conveys at the heaven-sent gift of togetherness he and Sam got from a pop group. You've got to love the Beatles, if only for having this kind of impact...."
Kirkus Reviews  (11/01/2003)
