There are no underlying themes in John Lennon: All I Want is the Truth, due to the fact that the book is an autobiography and is about the life of a person, and is factual, giving it the potential to have NO themes in the story. All characters want something in this story, as it is human nature to want. Freddie wants to live alone with John. Julia wants John to live with her sister and her husband. Mimi wanted John to be raised in a proper, English way. The least complex character of the bunch is by far Freddie Lennon. His true intentions are never revealed and his motivations arent shown either, this is most likely due to the lack thereof general information about Freddie.
The book is structured in a way that it appears to idolize John Lennon as the superstar that he was, as if every move he made was that of a superstar. It also has time specific photos of John while he was growing up with captions that say what the photo is of John doing, with specifications as to which person in the photo is John, and can have an additional person in the photo with a fun fact about them.
