Bob Marley's life is the stuff of legend. Raised in the slums of Kingston, Jamaica, Marley (1945-1981) wrote songs that inspired millions. So Much Things to Say tells Marley's life story like never before. Roger Steffens traveled with the Wailers and interviewed Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer extensively. Now, drawing on 40 years of intimate interviews with band members, family, lovers, and confidants - many speaking publicly for the first time - Steffens crafts a riveting oral history depicting Marley's life through vivid scenes: the future reggae star auditioning for Coxsone Dodd in Trench Town, the violent confrontation between the Wailers and producer Lee Perry, the attempted assassination (and conspiracy theories that followed), triumphant live performances around the world, and the artist's tragic death from cancer at the age of 36. Revealing and original, So Much Things to Say presents Marley as both man and musician, seen through the eyes of those who knew him best.

I liked the book especially from so many perspectives. I would’ve loved to hear about his relationships with his children more but overall I respect his focus, generosity, commitment, spirituality and drive until he went on to Zion

After visiting 9th Mile this book gives clarity

Often, the author is not the best reader for their own book but not in this case. Roger Steffens has a great voice, as one might expect after years of acting and hosting a radio show. If you are a fan of music in general or reggae in specific, I recommend this book.

Excellent

Great Book!

The author brings together many speakers, musicians and personalities to recount the life of Bob Marley. At times it is raw and unpleasant but definitely a great story. I love that the book is an honest, sometimes harsh account of an actual person. Definitely worth the time.

An honest, but not pretty picture
