    I haven't read it yet, but it seems like a good book to learn about Mr. Marley!

    Catch a Fire

    I got this book when i was 15. That was 16 years ago and I've read it maybe 5 times. It is the most important piece of literature that any Bob fan, new or seasoned, could own. BUY IT.

    Great book

    This book is the best BOB MARLEY book i have ever read; its really great. Mr. white talks about not only the life of BOB MARLEY, but also the rastafarian religion, jamaican politics and much more. I reccomend this book to all BOB MARLEY fans and people who want to learn about him. PEACE!

    A dim fire!

    I really was excited about reading Catch A Fire by Timothy White but the book picks up and leaves the reader dumbfounded. I enjoyed reading the book with intentions on learning more but Mr. White does not tie all the information together for the average reader to understand! Only those previously knowledgeable Marley Fans Read!

    Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley

    One must be cautious about those we make our leaders and legends. This carefully executed biography makes that point effectively. Fellow Marley biographer Chris Salewicz praised White's book for its 'gifted, accurate touch that recalls the best of Garcia Marquez,' and Marquez's own work explored the dangers of simplifying heroes and leaders. As White shows, Marley was more than a music star, and Marley's most important legacy may be that he saw there was a war against the poor in the Caribbean and he fought back with al

    Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley

    Mountainous research into the songs and the person behind them help the reader learn a lot quickly. But the bigger value is that it's a history book, not a pop bio, and lends awareness of the politics and social pressures too. Vivid jou

    Catch a Fire: The Life of Bob Marley

    Musn't take leaders or legends at face value. Fellow Marley biographer Chris Salewicz compares White's study to 'the best of Garcia Marquez,' whose warnings about leaders were the same. This carefully-executed treatise shows there was a war against the poor in the Caribbean and Marley fought back with all he
