Terrible!!!! Get something else

Revisado: 05-31-23

I agree with the other reviewer who called the book pretentious but that is an understatement. The author is clearly not a Dylan fan and he makes this most evident by disparaging him repeatedly in almost every sentence. Each Dylan song and life event he discusses drips with harshness, contempt and disgust. He is obviously jealous of Dylan’s brilliance and fame. It was upsetting from paragraph one and went downhill from there.

Truly Excellent

Revisado: 04-29-23

I was lucky enough to find this amazing podcast by accident, Its the best thing on Audible as I believe someone else said. Just amazing, I loved it, savored every word and and was sad when it ended. I still am. The mystery of who and what Dylan is will always remain a mystery. I have read hundreds of Dylanologists but this podcast is different and special. I feel I actually understand Dylan a bit more. Or maybe understand more that he is simply unknowable. But the author seems to intuit Dylan’s emotional states quite accurately to who I totally relate. The author states the closest knowing of Dylan is oceanic, he is the ocean. I agree with the metaphor which reminds me of a line in one of Dylans songs “life is the ocean but it ends at the shore “I dread that day, Dylan reaching the shore. I am grateful for this podcost. Please continue with your thoughts on rough and rowdy ways and Dylan today at 82. Thank you very much.

NOTHING about retirement

Revisado: 04-24-23

Useful information if you’re under 60 but no advice for retirement/retirees. Enjoyable narration but otherwise wasted my precious time. The author should indicate his target age on his book cover, especially when he prides himself in wanting to help others save money. It would’ve saved me a book credit

Where’s Bob Dylan ?

Revisado: 09-30-22

Mostly enjoyed the book, Somewhat interesting to hear about her adventures Greenwhich village in the 60d although already familiar with that period. . She does sound like a special and very nice person. However, she is sparse on details of her relationship with Bob Dyaln, what he was like , his personality, some insight into his being that she must’ve seen after all her years with him. I mean she goes deep about everything else. Maybe she was protecting him. But disappointed it is mostly her memoirs of her life back then that included him occasionally but with little focus on him. That’s ok but contradictory since she has that album cover of them together implying it’s a lot about him and their relationship. Probably done for sales to lure readers to buy the book to hear about Dylan which she doesn’t deliver. Sorry for her passing and condolences to her family and friends.

Not worth my time

Revisado: 08-26-22

Well haven’t heard a lot of it yet but already bored and will move on to something else. Seems like mostly his opinions and where did he get all the stories of intimate personal conversations and family relationships. Not from the private Bob Dylan, so probably heresay at best. Just not believable to me. And the narrator with the English accent is annoying, a terrible choice for a book about an American songwriter. Read Why Bob Dylan Matters, it’s excellent.

The best Bob Dylan book ever written

Revisado: 08-26-22

I am a lifelong Dylan fan and can’t - or couldn’t read enough about him until this book. It is excellent-the most substantial, comprehensive and fascinating biography of the mysterious icon that is Bob Dylan. I have listened to this book several times and always hear something new that I somehow missed the time before. And I’m not done yet. There is so much there, it’s impossible to to take it all in at one -or five times. It is beautifully read as well. None of the other Dylan books come close to being this good and I have read most of them.
