Emily W gave it a9: So it isn't really about his life, but it's witty and interesting in its own right.
Ursula P gave it a10: It is so rich that I read it several times and each time I discovered something new. It's like good perfume:there is more than one precious moment in it, one must wait for each layer to develop to enjoy all of them.
Ron A gave it a10: Astounding! Only Dylan can turn some of these phrases. When he rented his first apartment in NYC "it came empty." Not unfurnished! It came empty!

Jon H gave it a10: One of the best books i've read in a long time, when i first heard about it I thought wasn't going to be any good for some reason. I thought it would be too long and trail off but boy was I wrong in every way, it's a great short read, even non Dylan fans would be blown away by this book, I can't wait for the others.
G Polk gave it a10: Dylan wont be revealing any skeletons or secrets anytime soon, this book is about ruminations and searching, as most of his art has come to be known for. It is a hitchhikers guide to the road, a road that is adorned with images which only poets and great men could have created.
Ed J gave it a9: A fascinating read. I've been a Dylan fan for many years and have always wondered about the man behind the music. Here is a glimpse into his influences, his craft, his philosophy, and of course his first love - songwriting.
