I love Johnny
Cash. He is definitely one of my music
idols. However, this biography was a little too much detail and redundant; not
really the author's fault there was just a period of Johnny's life that not
much exciting happened. He had some hits, some flops, some drug related relapses
but I felt reading about each and every one was extremely boring...for this particular
period of his life I wish I read the cliff note version. I learned a lot I didn't know with two of the
most profound aspects being his strong friendship with Bob Dylan and some songs
I never heard. I also could not believe
how determined he was too continue to record and perform so late in his life
when his health was deteriorating so quickly. A huge Johnny fan and avid reader would
probably enjoy this book, otherwise I would recommend a shorter biography.
