Thanks for the recommendation. I don't dislike reggae, but when I heard it was about Bob Marley (and some assassination attempts?) I was put off from reading it; it seemed to lack imagination a bit. Still, I've started The Year of the Runaways and I've really enjoyed that so far. Is Marlon's book really worth a read? why?
