"Skywriting is a thrill... Lennon at his best."--San Jose Mercury News

"John wrote Skywriting at a time when the world was wondering whatever happened to him. Why wasn't he writing songs anymore? Well, this is what he was busy doing... I'm glad that I can now share these writings with you. I'm sure John would be, too."--Yoko Ono (from the afterword)

"Marvelous, delightful reading and for John Lennon fans a must."--Publishers Weekly

"Candid and scathing...A reflection of its author's creativity and enduring appeal."--People
