Read Robbie Robertson's bio, Testimony. Many pages (and personal insights) devoted to his time with Ronnie Hawkins, fewer to Dylan's "Electric" folk-rock period, and, surprisingly, even fewer pages devoted to The Band.

It was a decent read, but not what I was hoping for.

The Cuban Affair, by Nelson DeMille. This was the first book by this prolific author that I could not get through. I had read a little less than half of it when I realized I didn't care about the plot resolution, nor the characters.

He has written some great thrillers, but there aren't any thrills in this one. And the characters are little developed.

Skip this one. His next book HAS to be better.

Murder On The Old Bog Road by Irish mystery writer David Pearson. 1st book in a series of 9 mysteries staring Galway detectives Maureen Lyons and Mick Hays. Good book!!! I bought the whole series.
