The MAN Called CASH (Abridged): The Life, Love and Faith of an American Legend Audiobook

" Just horrible. Save your money. This book reveals nothing new but merely criticizes other biographies and autobiographies. I could not even force myself to finish reading it. "

" Not the most entertaining read due to author's relentless attention to detail but Cash's life story is a drama worth reading for sure. If you want to know all you can about the highs and lows of his life then look no further but there may be a punchier version out there somewhere... "

" I became a fan of Johnny Cash after reading this book. "

" This is one of the better biographies I have read. Cash was and still is a God in so many ways. "

" Richly detailed account of an American icon with much more depth than I had ever thought.Johnny Cash was more than just another country singer and this book peels back the layers like on an onion, revealing more and more about a multi-faceted man. Very good book. "

" Dates & places of personal apperances and song releases were hard for me to get through. I enjoyed a look into this American icon's personal life. "

" I really enjoyed this bio! "

" If you love the man & his music this book is fantastic. Turner covers Cash's struggles with love, drugs, faith and God. "

" What an amazing and often tormented life Johnny Cash had. Underneath it all he truly was a man of faith and it plays a huge part in his life's story. This was a good read about Cash and gave me a new interest in him and the songs he wrote. It made me wish I could have known him. "

" As interesting as the subject matter was, I expected the book to be more exciting. It was more akin to reading the book of Numbers in the Bible. The style or writing was more fact driven than prose, and I barely draggged myself through the book. "

" I am generally not a reader of biographies, but was drawn to this one by circumstance and found it to be a touching portrait of the artist as much more that a drug using country western singer, but rather a complex and genuine human being. "

" I love Johnny Cash even more after reading this book. It goes into detail of the inner thoughts of Cash - what and who he loved, his music and his faith. Really inspiring! "

" Well written, an interesting man, bot "

" Fascinating portrait and consistently heartbreaking yet inspiring. "

" Wonderful biography. Reading it in conjunction with ReChurch. Gives me a new perspective on grace and putting people up on a pedestal. "

" Good book, but more detail than I needed. Still, it is a comprehensive biography for anyone who needs or wants one. "

" Cash is a fascinating man -- more fascinating than this book would lead you to believe. I expected an "official" biography to gloss over the less savory aspects of his life, and this one does, but it doesn't really delve deep into any aspect of his life. Disappointing. "

" I adore Johnny Cash and loved reading this book. It was great to hear how he started, where he came from, his inspirations...etc. "

" Great to read about country music great. "

" If you liked "Walk the Line" and love the Man in Black, this bio is one of the best on Cash. "

" Of course Cash's life is very interesting to read about, but this book is rather poorly written and edited. If you are going to read about his life I would probably recommend one of his other biographies or autobiography. "

" Well written, an interesting man, bot "

" I recommend the audiobook, narrated by Kris Kristofferson. "

" Probably a better book than I'm giving it credit for, but since I've never been an avid Cash fan the details were a bit grueling for me. Still, I thought it was worth reading about this intriguing life. "

" Started slow but it was decent. I would have loved to listen to this book as a documentary with snippets of music put in and things like that. I really loved hearing the names of other famous musicians pop up in the narritive. "

" Fascinating portrait and consistently heartbreaking yet inspiring. "
