Garry Steckles has a passion for Marley and this is a tremendously good read that covers the man from birth to death, from nobody to superstar; about his roller coaster ride to fame and the folks who rode with him; the tragedy of his loss at an early age he himself predicted. As much as I have enjoyed Marley's sound, now I feel I know and appreciate more the man behind it. Well done.

Not only was this book amazing, it made me feel like I was right next to Bob the whole time. The author was a great writer and this book was truly heart warming!

Hello. I bought this book for my daughter to use in writing an 8th grade biography report for school, and the book was a fantastic aid for this purpose. It thoroughly and thoughtfully laid out the circumstances of Marley's life in a way that she really connected with.

I did not read the book myself as yet, but may, now that she is done with it.

An icon of Jamaica, an icon of the Rastafarian philosophy, an icon of Reggae - Bob Marley meant a lot of things to many people. "Bob Marley: A Life" is a biography of one of the most important cultural figures of the twentieth century, tracing his life from his early days to his tragic early death from brain cancer, to the still raging legal battles over the rights to his music and estate. "Bob Marley" is an educational look at this versatile man.
