Reviews

Bob Dylan certainly has left an indelible mark on American society. After listening to this book, you might feel that his many laurels don't easily fit Minnesota's little Bobby Zimmerman. Dylan was a poet and an expert at weaving his guitar/harmonica skills into his songs, but what did anyone really know about him off-stage? Epstein is convinced that Dylan deserves his high place in the cultural pantheon and seems willing to overlook his many flaws. Forgoing the usual chronological sequence, Epstein focuses on Dylan's most iconic concerts to introduce the turning points in his life, and the result is a disjointed, rambling, oddly readable book that will both please and infuriate Dylan devotees. Here is where the audiobook, read in a mature and consistent voice by Bronson Pinchot, may be the better choice. Audie Award winner Pinchot has the skill to keep the narrative flowing where a reader might be wondering if they missed a chapter somewhere. ["This minor work is only mildly recommended to well-informed readers interested in what the interviewees have to say about (Dylan's) character and private side," read the review of the HarperCollins hc, LJ 3/1/11.-Ed.]-Joseph L.
