My 8 year old has recently become interested in the 60's and Bob Dylan, so I picked this book up at the library. The book does a nice job of describing Dylan's life from boyhood to big star. It emphasized how Dylan was boo'ed most of the time at the early part of his career, but didn't give up, which was a great lesson for my son. My son liked the book so much after I read it to him, that he picked it up and read the entire book to himself.
