Reviews

Heylin is the most dedicated and forensic Dylanologists, and this book shows it
*Daily Telegraph*

I can’t imagine anyone else poking, prodding and taking apart Dylan with as much forensic detail as Heylin has done here
*The Times*

No true Dylan fan will want to miss what is as close to a definitive biography as we're likely to get of an artist who has easy definition
*Daily Mail*

Remarkable… This is not just another Bob Dylan book… it’s so all-encompassing that it is probably the last word
*i*

For Dylan completists this monumental fact-check will be essential
*New Statesman*

The definitive, scrupulously researched biography of a life steeped in mystery
*Oberver on The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 1*

Gripping... hugely impressive
*The Times, Book of the Week, on The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 1*

Clinton Heylin is the éminence grise of Dylan scholars
*Andrew Motion, Spectator, on The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 1*

Painstakingly detailed... informative and well organised
