To anyone that has connected with the spirit of the music of Bob Marley, this collection of thoughts and sayings will remind you of the power of his message and uplift your spirit. Turn to any page and you will find wisdom within. Bravo!
Personally, I enjoyed this booklet. It contains some very thought-provoking quotes from the don gargon, Bob Marley. What a way to capture these thoughts, Cedella and Gerald! Nice work entirely.
I ordered this "book" with expectations that it would be Bob Marley's actual thoughts on topics like he sings about (such as the title suggests). Since it was written by his daughter I thought it would be more personal also. When I got it first off I was amazed by the size of it--it's about an inch bigger than the size of a cell phone. Then I started flipping through it, and I was like "hey these are just quotes". Seriously there's nothing written on any of the pages except for one quote a page. Since I like reading quotes and will always write down a good quote when I see it, I read through all 56 "thoughts". The ones that are worth your time writing down (which are only like 5 in the whole pamphlet), you can find on the internet and I've read them all before I even bought the "book". So I basically spent $6 on a "book" of a few quotes that I had already written down before I bought the "book".
I bought one for my husband in Prison and one for myself. Unfortunately both books went to the Prison. I'm happy he received his book but I also could use some inspiration.He however has enjoyed the small but powerful messages from Bob Marley.
You know, you may want to include the size of the book next time. I thought it was a regular trade paperback book but it's a novelty item size one buys on "impulse" at the check out lines. Very small. But I still loved the sayings inside of it.
Without being able to view any of the text prior to purchase, it was disappointing to see the book only contained small portions of the contents of various songs. I would have liked to have seen the meaning and the motivation behind the songs. I was looking for more insight or a behind the scenes at 56 Hope Road. I've read other books about Bob Marley and found this one to be lacking in content.
This is a an approximately 2" X 3 " book with two or three line lyrics from Bob Marley Songs. If you need a reminder of his lyrics or need the lyrics highlighted so you can contemplate them without the rest of the song, then this is the book for you. I on the other hand remember most of these lyrics and expected more from this book.
Yes Blessed,A unique product is always a joy.I thought to find words Unpublished bob, there are many crossing his songs.so I'm disappointed can! but it is a good tool to educate youngerWe'll be forever loving Bob! the great Bob Marley!! RastafariJahLove, François "sanka"
