Where do I start about how bad this book is - maybe on p. vii in the Foreword where the author states "As fascinating an autobiography as Chronicles is, however, it does not provide great illumination of Dylan's character, his likes and dislikes, his personality..." My Lord, was the author reading the same Chronicles as I was? And on p. 4, the author travels along Rt. 2 in Western Massachusetts, saying, about the town of Erving, Mass., "Erving's small commercial area features the predictable Wendy's, McDonald's, and the occasional gas station." Well, as someone who travels Rt. 2 everyday, I can tell you there is NO Wendy's or McDonald's in the little blip of a town that is Erving. So, dear reader, you may go on at your own peril. This book is NOT for anyone who may know anything about Bob Dylan. It may be geared towards elementary school children. But then, that would be a travesty, because why should they be reading inaccuracies? The writing is third rate, the "research" is 95% from other sources, and it sadly becomes another Bob Dylan book that he would shake his head at and cringe.
