Bob Marley My Son Cedella Marley Booker 9780878332984 Books Reviews

... This book is much different than most biographies because it is written by the subject's actual mother. Readers are allowed to view Marley in the eyes of his mom rather than in the eyes of a fan or historian. The book does a decent job of retelling Marley's life and rise to international fame. It is an interesting read and does not take very long as it is rather short.
... One thing I did not like about the book was the fact that at times, it begins to feel like more of a autobiography about Bob's mother than about him. The book, in fact, begins with her childhood. It is a good twenty minutes before Bob Marley is even introduced something I find strange in a biography that is supposed to be about him. Once you make it through these sections however, the author does try to tie them into ordeals and stories that focus on Bob.
... The vast selections of pictures from Bob's childhood were both a positive and a negative. It was nice to have access to visuals of all the people talked about in the book. It makes it easier to picture people when you know what they look like. It was annoying, however, to be stopped in the middle of a sentence by 8 to 10 pages of pictures. By the time you flipped through them you would have to flip back and try to remember what fragment you had read to try and complete the sentence.
I was furious when I received this book because I thought it was a 2nd book written by his mother. However, this book is word for word the exact same book as Bob Marley An Intimate Portrait by His Mother, just with another name. Also, it looked like a cheap photo copy of the other book. Especially the pictures. I wanted my money back.
Loved the book and love Nesta as well.
This is a compelling book. I agree with the reviewer who said that at the beginning of the book there was more about Cedella and her background than about Bob Marley, but the end justified the means. You get to know and understand Cedella Marley as her son takes her through her journey. Her description of "Nesta's" last months are heart wrenching. Her voice as a mother comes through - I was sobbing at the end. But she added credit where credit is due namely to Chris Blackwell, when all of Marley's "entourage" left after his death, Blackwell remained to ask what was needed and to make sure Cedella would be taken care of for the rest of her life. Not many people are aware of Blackwell's genuine care and concern.

As I kept reading throughout the book, I was becoming more aware of how beautifully written her words are and how strong her love is for "Nesta" and all of her family.

This is, indeed, a beautiful book and one that belongs in everyone's collection of all that is written about Nesta Robert Marley.

I guess this book was okay, however, I've read other books on Bob Marley and his mother's version seems very bias towards her son and herself looking good. She totally downplays his infidelites as a man will do what a man will do but focuses on Rita Marley getting pregnant with another man's baby. She mentioned this numerous times in the book giving this as one main reason for conflict between Bob and Rita. She focuses on Rita being unfaithful but barely talks about the numerous children he had outside his marriage. She states her son was tormented about this child and that he would divorce Rita if he found out it was not his. She later claims Rita did tell him that this was not his child- he never got a divorce. I read Rita's version in No Woman, No Cry and tend to somewhat believe that version of events a lot better. Other than the conflictual information and her focusing on herself a lot, it was an okay read.
if anyone could fully speak on Bob Marley than it's only fitting it's His Mother&this Book gives an interesting take on the Career&Life of Bob Marley from His Mother.very much to the point.
I read this book in ONE DAY! It is an incredible book! You get such an understanding of Bob Marley (born Nesta Robert Marley) that you are enveloped into the life of this musical legend! Once you read this book, you know exactly where Bob Marley got his character and his strength--from his mother. Her account of how she watched her son die from cancer is tearjerking and for me was personal, as I saw my mother waste away from cancer. It is truly the greatest and best account of the life of Bob Marley ever written and die-hard Marley fans should own this book at all cost! This literally is as close to Bob Marley anyone will ever get to understanding the man behind the music.
