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

"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"

“Through pursuit to fulfilment and from heartbreak to healing … there are some delicious glimpses into Dylan’s world”

"A finely detailed look at life with the legend, Seeing the Real You at Last helps ground Dylan, presenting him as both pampered rock star and everyday quirk machine"

“Britta was as close to Bob as anyone has ever been, and offers here a perspective on a time in his life – the mid-80s — that has rarely been viewed, and never captured as intimately or poetically as it is here”

‘Seeing the real you at last’ by Britta Lee Shain gives readers insight into the real Bob Dylan”

“Of the countless books written about the many aspects of Dylan’s life and work, few – if any – have focused so precisely on the years 1986-87”
