"...these munchables occur only in the Bootherbroiwth family of MSS., Bb - Cod IV, Pap II, Brek XI, LunIII, Dinn XVII, Sup XXX, Fullup M D C X C: the scholiast has hungrily misheard a deadman's toller as a muffinbell."
Wow. Okay, it included the letters "M" "D" and "C" for Mark David Chapman along with other Roman numberals and it had the word "deadman". I'm convinced, though I can't see at all why the plenty-important-on-his-own-thank-you-very-much Irish author would have had anything to do with this.
But, as tempting as it is to detail every flaw in this book (that would take another book), this is just a review. The first half is fun much as reading through the "Paul is dead" rumors is, whereas the second half is dense with numerology, Finnegans Wake, and some really infuriating passages on the death itself. So I can't truthfully recommend this for anyone. If you are a Beatles fan, it will be somewhat entertaining until it reaches its real purpose and becomes unreadable. If you like the idea as a sort of legitimate conspiracy theory, then I can only guess that you'll get what you want.
For more, you can watch these three YouTube videos that combine a disorganized-sounding radio show with Niezgoda as its guest with the relevant pictures to what they're talking about. You'll likely learn more than you would reading the book.

John Lennon said that the songs came to him by magic. Now that the magic was gone, he couldn't write a hit if he wanted to. He knew other artists that sold their souls and went insane because the magic left them and they couldn't stand it. He didn't try to fight it, he knew he couldn't write his songs anymore, and vowed he would not go insane worrying about it. He had got the magic and it was over for him. These are basically the words he used to describe his involvement with magic

Wow! This Blog is great. Just like Kim Clement. Kim Clement is an expression that has defined “the prophet” for the modern era. This has made his journey unique; a journey that has taken his inspired message to schools and colleges, churches and synagogues, alleyways and prison cells. Kim’s prophetic gift is a magnet that has drawn a broad audience, as he has whispered to kings and inspired prisoners, his path through life continues to be an exciting adventure.

Wow. What a crazy book. I am glad I read your review and have decided not to waste my time. I had been somewhat curious about the book since it was released and thought about picking it up. But why support a whacky thesis? Thanks for the review.

How do you account for Lennon's assassination, though? And don't you think it's rather curious that it happened twenty years - to the very month! - after the Beatles' rise to the top began? Some of Lennon's song titles, when strung together - "Scared", "I don't wanna face it", and "Borrowed Time" - seem to hint at foreknowledge of his fate on John's part. Some other clues of foreknowledge: The engineer for "Double Fantasy" being so spooked by some of John's comments that he felt compelled to erase the tapes on which they were made; an actual recording he made shortly before his death, in which he sings "Well I tried so hard to stay alive." At the very end, John says, "Oh, OK. So that's how you're going to do it." What are we supposed to think he was referring to there?
