What I like about this took is that it dives headfirst into Jamaican life, the culture, the politics, the daily struggles, the music, the technology, making you feel as if you are there in the moment watching the whole thing emerge.
No, just like the recent Marley documentary is not the definitive film account of Marley's life.

It concentrates more on her private life than the other girls' books, with her pop career often taking a back seat to personal issues. This is a long title (over 500 pages) and sometimes Macon's voice was so melodious I had to make sure he didn't lull me to sleep (LOL). I learned a lot of information about Jamaica during the 1970s, and about the dry facts of his life. Refresh and try again.

In this biography, Catch a Fire The life of Bob Marley, written by Timothy White encaptures Bob and his many memories. She was a normal person...well we all are, aren't we...DUH!! I was a little disappointed because it was bogged down in so much history. You went to see Ziggy Marley play when you were a teen and passed out in the front of the audience (so much for taking spliff from a stranger!). White hints at that too but I would take it further. The book is about half Bob Marley biography and the other half Jamaican history and politics, a lot of Rastafarian religion (which was also interesting) and the most convoluted and confusing record dealings of who wrote what songs and when and who gets the money from what....ugh it really bogs down the book but at the same time much of is is necessary to understand the man.

Instead of fleshing out and humanizing "Bob Marley, Reggae Prophet", the book seems reluctant to separate Bob from his mythos and show us the real human being behind this amazing and groundbreaking music. I find this book to be interesting...yes, i have also read Vic's and Geri's...i enjoy Mel's because of the way she write it...she is quite a good writer...or try to be one anyway...she is a dramatic person and manages to showcase that in her writing.
