Book Reviews Reloaded: Another Side of Bob Dylan

This article first appeared on East Niagara Post on April 7, 2015. It is repeated here as I work to put all my book reviews in one place. They will be posted on Thursdays or Fridays and only be altered from the original in that I will add publisher information and pages. Hopefully, by revisiting these reviews, other people might find a book they'd like to pick up for their own enjoyment.

Another Side of Bob Dylan -- Victor & Jacob Maymudes

St Martin's Press

304 Pages

I have a confession to make. I am a big fan of Bob Dylan. I know that some people love to hate him, while his biggest fans are rabid. I am definitely a big fan. So, when I saw a book at the library on the new, nonfiction book about Dylan, I grabbed it before anyone else could.  Another Side of Bob Dylan by Victor and Jacob Maymudes is billed as an insider’s account of Bob Dylan’s life. Sadly, this simply is not the case.

I have to admit that writing reviews for nonfiction books is not exactly my favorite thing to do. There is a lot of pressure to keep true to the historical accuracy. There is also the added pressure when the book is a memoir, especially when it’s of someone you admire. I had a bit of that issue with You Can’t Make This Up by Al Michaels. Which may be why this will likely be one of the shortest reviews I have written.

The following is a satirical review of a book. It is meant to be humorous and to pique your interest in picking up the book to read. Most of what you read is meant to be funny, although I will end the review on the serious side.
