Sonic the Hedgehog and The Beatles: A Comparative Analysis of the Games and Music

What could Sonic possibly have in common with The Beatles? Video games featuring a blue hedgehog have little in common with the most influential band ever, right? Wrong. No, there isn't some magic link between, say, Green Hill Zone and "Good Day Sunshine" beyond the vague similarities you can strain and find when comparing any two random subjects. But there are larger parallels.Sonic and The Beatles takes an in-depth look at the game series and the band's discography. There are numerous commonalities between the context of release, technical aspects, and public perceptions of each. The book is an entertaining look at the Sonic series that finds a counterpoint for each release in The Beatles' catalogue, both as a band and as solo artists.
