Summary: Don't Support This Crook
Comment: Don Taylor was Bob Marley's manager, yes. But he also stole alot of money from Bob - he lied about concert earnings to put more money in his own pocket. Anyone who buys this book is supporting a man who stole from Robert Nesta Marley. Do you want that on your conscience? Bob was pissed when he found out about Taylor's dishonesty, and he wrote Bad Card, a song off of his masterpiece, Uprising (1980). I refuse to pay for a book that will benefit a man who stole from my idol. Don Taylor, you are a filthy thief, and your attempt to capitalize off of Bob makes me SICK.

Summary: Marley and Me
Comment: Don Taylor, the author of Marley and Me, is one of the most influential managers in the history of the music industry. Living in Jamaica in his youth, he learned his street smarts by hustling in the villages around his home. Spontaneously, he started working for the entertainment industry, helping musicians get around Jamaica and getting them whatever they pleased. Word got around that Taylor was a good manager and sooner than later, Marley and Taylor started working together, booking shows all around Jamaica while developing a strong fan base. Eventually, Bob's music was being heard all around the world, partly due to Taylor's work in and out of the United States. As things started to slow down for Bob near the end of his career, Don and Bob began to part their seperate ways on bitter paths. Bob's death to cancer ultimatly ended their relationship, yet before he died, Taylor tried to clear things up with Bob, but it was too late. Bob had passed away.
I throughly enjoyed this book. Having a view point of Bob Marley's life through the eyes of someone very close was an interesting way to understand the man and his music. This book was the best Bob Marley biography I have ever read. It clarified every aspect of his life and opened up many new doors that had been closed due to other sources that failed to offer as much information as this book had done. If your looking for a great book to unvail the life of Bob Marley, go to your local library and pick this book up.

Summary: The Unison of One Man
Comment: The life of one man that accomplishes what most people dream of. Most people dream of living a life where oil does not drive our lifestyles. Marley is shown as a person where material values are absent, while preaching a method that love and peace prosper over greed and selfishness.
