Crackin' read
It's amazing how this book manages to chart every word said 50 years ago. The research is brilliant and once you get into it, it grips you. A must have for all Bob Marley Fans!

Extraordinary Effort
This is an extensively thorough bio of Bob, interwoven with Jamaican history, reggae musicology and religion. The writing is lovely and absorbing stylistically. The political aspects of the life are also looked at carefully and complemented with materials like declassified CIA documents. Most impressive.

A MUST READ!!
This book is an absolute must read if you want to know more about Robert 'Nesta' Marley.
A pre-warning however, do not be put off by the first couple of chapters about Ras Tafari, they are heavy going and may require a re-read but once on the life of Marley the book flows beautifully and is one that I found very hard to put down!
Enjoy!!
