"Jim and Kathy Ocean’s John Lennon’s Glasses is a genre-defying novel that fuses rock ‘n’ roll mythology with speculative fiction and social satire. The story follows a disillusioned singer-songwriter who, after receiving a mysterious pair of glasses, conjures the spirit of John Lennon from the afterlife. Together, they embark on a surreal journey across America and beyond, aiming to rescue music—and perhaps humanity itself—from a looming existential threat.

The novel’s tone is a blend of irreverent humor and heartfelt introspection, reminiscent of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy mixed with On the Road, featuring a cast that includes deceased rock legends. The authors insure to infuse the narrative with a deep appreciation for music’s transformative power. The protagonist’s evolution from despair to purpose is portrayed with authenticity and wit.

While the novel is rich in musical references and philosophical musings, it remains accessible and engaging for all ages. It’s a celebration of creativity, a critique of modern society, and a testament to the enduring influence of artistic visionaries. For readers seeking a thought-provoking and entertaining read that transcends conventional genres, John Lennon’s Glasses offers a unique and memorable experience.

Ultimately, John Lennon’s Glasses is more than a novel—it’s a movement disguised as a road trip, a meditation on what it means to stay awake in a world that numbs us, and a celebration of music as a force for truth and transformation. The Oceans have crafted a story that invites readers to question the status quo, embrace their creative spirit, and dare to imagine a more conscious and connected world. It’s a wild ride with a powerful message: vision, like music, can change everything—especially when seen through the right lens."

"John Lennon's Glasses is a fantastic book with many different musical involvements in the book. I loved the main character who starts the book with saying All You Need is Love that John Lennon sang about was not true. I needed to read on at that point. The main character is a singer who is trying to find someone who will buy his music, about universal love which I as a reader believe wholeheartedly in. I love how Jimmy is trying to write music for the future of humanity and not just to make a quick buck. I also quite loved how the author placed facts and fiction involving John Lennon and the Beatles in this book. And how John and George were speaking in heaven was inspiring. I have a few old time people who I would love to see that happen with. I loved the ending of this book and was so glad that Jimmy found his happy ending with music and also in an unexpected place. And the research the author did was truly factual and fictional! I really like the writing style of Jim and Kathy Ocean. Jim has a contagious humor weaved throughout this magical story and Kathy keeps it grounded with facts and a kicking playlist. I recommend this book to those who like a story with a music theme."

"First of all, I adore the main character, Jimmy. He’s a singer chasing something deeper than fame, trying to write music that actually means something. As a huge music buff (particularly a big Beatles fan) I loved how the book mixes real Beatles history with fun, surreal fiction, especially the parts where John and George are chatting in heaven. The ending is so perfect, and it made me really happy to see Jimmy find his place, both in music and life. If you love music-themed stories with a little heart and imagination, definitely check this one out."
