Review # 1 was written on 2010-09-05 00:00:00 Mark Varon There are many books about Bob Marley available to fill a fan's book shelf but not to many on the men who made up the Wailers portion of Bob Marley and the Wailers. You really learn about how involved in the creation of the Reggae sound Aston "Family Man" Barrett and also how he helped Marley find the sound that has made him into the icon he is today. This is an involved read and Mr. Masouri did a great job of giving the story of the Wailers from the beginning of making their own instruments, to playing in as many studio jobs around Jamaica, creating music with Marley and touring and ending with the legal battles between the Wailers and Marley family. Once again if your interested in Bob Marley or reggae this is a book to pick up and give a read.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-17 00:00:00 Tamara Guentz Put together by Yoko, this is a compilation of memories written by people who knew John Lennon or were affected by him during his life. The only reason I gave this a 4 and not a 5 was because a few of the writers were so wordy I had to skim through their entries. Overall the book was lovely. It was like looking through glasses seeing John for myself.
