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 * Financial Times on The Double Life of Bob Dylan Volume 1 *
