This is an excellent companion to Dylan's new autobiographny. A brilliantly written and imagistic volume on Dylan's formative years, when he is a teenager and first finding his voice as an artist. The reader feels as though they are growing up in Hibbing with Robert Zimmerman who was to become Bob Dylan. Stephen Scobie provides an authentic but objective atmosphere to the formation of a great 20th century artist.I have had my interest in Dylan renewed by the release of his autobiography and so I went back to this book a second time and it still seems as fresh as when I first read it. I highly recommend thnis excellent volume.

I just ordered this book, received it today. I just want to let people know that this is a large, book length poem on Dylan. Just for those similiar to myself under the impression it was a formal biography. I haven't read it yet so i still don't know if being a poem is a bad thing. Just Keep in mind it may not be what you expected.

This book is by far the BEST Dylan biography out there! Its way better than Marsh's Glory Days (which - for some reason seems to be more about Springsteen than Dylan!). Just get it!
