Seeing The Real You At Last

Book Reviews

  • “Much of the pleasure of this book comes from the funny, quirky, humanizing details Shain drops about the singer throughout”

    ~ Larry Getlen, “What it was like to Date Bob

    Dylan,” The New York Post

  • "In the annals of books about Bob Dylan - and there exist libraries of these volumes - there is no book like this one. It is second only to Dylan's own Chronicles in being the most poetic book on the subject, and stands alone at being the most romantic"

    ~ Paul Zollo, American Songwriter, Book Review

    ~ Larry Getlen, “The 40 best books of 2016 you

    must read immediately,” The New York Post
