A review by twylghast
Tarantula by Bob Dylan

3.25

Update March 2025: will not be erasing the review I wrote the first time, but have actually liked it more as I’ve read it again.

Sorry to this dud’s fans, but what the fuck was this? 

Did he write it at seventeen trying to be Bukowski, who’s not all that writing-wise himself? (Also pardon me if Bukowski came after Dylan - I wouldn’t know).

PS: dud was not a typo; I was gonna write dude but thought a bit more about it first.

Having read Chronicles as well, I see little to no appeal in Bob Dylan. And am confused as to why he’s getting a biopic…the only reason I’m reading his books and hesitantly considering giving his music a whirl though probably won’t - have suffered enough of him.
