REVIEW: Tarantula


Title: Tarantula
Author: Bob Dylan
Finished: April 10, 2010
Pages: 160
Published: 1977
Format: paperback

The only book ever published by Bob Dylan, Tarantula is a combination of various forms of poetry that almost didn’t make it to the public, especially after the book was leaked to the public without his permission.

It took awhile for me to get into Dylan’s writing style, but that is to be expected considering his creative lyrics and songwriting. It was a fun break during the read-a-thon to throw in some poetry and work my mind a bit. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite book of poetry because it does take some concentration to fully understand the message – but it’s Bob Dylan so are you really supposed to know the full message.
