## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Bob Marley, Poet.
  

*by L***T on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2015*

Kwame Dawes, as demonstrated in his book on the Reggae Aesthetic (Natural Mysticism, Peepal Press), knows the music, the principal personalities like Marley, understands the Jamaican and Caribbean history out of which Reggae comes, and is himself a fine poet, musician, editor and reviewer. He is one of the founders of the now famous Calabash Literary festival. So this book on Marley's lyrics is written from several perspectives by someone familiar with the literary, musical and historical ground. The writing is entertaining, informative, strengthened by absorbing autobiographical touches. Dawes will send you back to the lyrics and music of this great poet/singer/composer that Marley was.  Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Bob Marley was a Genius with the written word!!
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013*

Fascinating read about some of Bob Marley's song lyrics and the context in which they developed, written by a Jamaican who grew up watching Bob playing football with friends near his home.  Mr. Dawes translates some of the lyrics' vernacular to explain little puns which a Western reader probably wouldn't pick up on.  The only thing I would change about this book if I could would be to print the lyrics of the songs in the book.  The author suggests having them out in front of you when you read, and i really should have done that.  I know this is a book I'll go back and read again and again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    typos are annoying
  

*by K***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013*

I think this book is great so far. However- whoever published this book needed to have used spell check. I don't understand how a book could be published with so many misspellings. It is very distracting and is taking away from my enjoyment of the book.
