Chronicles (Abridged): Volume One Audiobook

" I'm not a huge Dylan fan but I thoroughly enjoyed this very well written autobiography and eagerly await the 2nd volume. "

" Great book by Dylan.. it skips around a bit and rambles like his songs. It talks about his early career in New York when he was sleeping on couches and playing small clubs. I loved it. "

" I liked this book, but I could have loved it had I known who many of the people he talked about were. I was impressed with his craft for writing and really enjoyed his descriptions of how life felt at very specific moments in his maturity and during his creative process. I would recommend to any music lover. "

" Bob focuses on the songwriters he meets when he moves to New York and it takes you all the way into the 90s. Great read for hardcore Dylan fans. I devoured it in a week. "

" I would imagine that an influential figure and lyrical genius would have a knack for storytelling. Instead, we jump back and forth as Dylan reflects on his life. I was really disappointed as I had hoped to see more of the 1960s era and his unique writing style. Although it starts that way, it eventually leads to a bland voiceless anecdote. "

" He is an all-time favorite artist. He will never go wrong. "

" Bob Dylan is as eloquent with prose as he is with writing lyrics. "

" Ohhhh this one was good! Bob Dylan on Bob Dylan - perfect! Although the ramblings sometimes left me a little lost, I loved that it was HIS perspective on HIS life. To me it seems like Dylan wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I loved all of this. "

" This is how an autobiography should be written: a collection of stories about an interesting life that clearly describes his life without reading like a textbook. Tremendous. "

" wow, bob dylan, could you be more boring & obtuse? seriously, just shut up. "

" Bobby here tends to get a bit too descriptive with uninteresting things. "

" I can see why people would like it, especially hard core Bob Dylan fans, because it certainly goes into a lot of detail. But it rambles on too much, and many of the details he rambled on about in such great detail did not pique my interest at all. "

" This book, especially the parts that touch on Dylan's early career, transport you to another time and place. Love it. "

" Some magic, some truth, and a good amount of lies. Dylan. "

" Pleasantly surprised. Ever since i saw Bob ol boy in concert i was under the impression he thought of himself as a god, but this book lets you into a different side, his story reveals a very humble appreciative outlook. "

" Maybe I was daydreaming, but I was completely lost in the organization of events in this book. I did however have very detailed knowledge of the look, smell, and texture of scenes these events took place in... oddly enough "

" Great book but you'll probably only like it if you're a big Dylan fan. Mainly covers his coming to NYC and his folk days. Looking forward to more volumes. "

" I'm an extreme Dylan fan. This fed my addiction to the man and his mythology. "

" more than an autobiography, a true american epic from one of the greatest musicians of all time "

" Pretty awful. It is a ramble of common place thoughts.Better to just put B.D. on the stereo and read a good book, not this book. "

" Excellent audio book! Sean Penn's reading of the book is well worth listening to. "

" Started off brilliantly, offering an intriguing, first-hand account of the life of a musician in New York. If the whole book was as good as the first half, I probably would have given it five stars. "

" This book, especially the parts that touch on Dylan's early career, transport you to another time and place. Love it. "
