Editorial Review:
Bob Marley began writing lyrics in the early 1960's and he continued to produce them until his passing in 1981. Critics have called these songs the best of the millennium. Yet,few readers have ever read Marley's magic on the page. For the first time, his eldest daughter Cedella has made a selection of her father's most prophetic and personal poems, insights, and conversational messages. Here are meditations to soothe the soul and thoughts to penetrate the mind. Here too is an encapsulated life of Bob Marley, the man. In his spare writings we can see the ebb and flow of his journey as an artist and a humanitarian. Packaged for purse and pocket, this colleciton is sure to find a place in everyone's heart.
56 Thoughts from 56 Hope Road: The Sayings and Psalms of Bob Marley Reviews:
Memorable Lyrics 
2008-09-06 - This is a an approximately 2" X 3 " book with two or three line lyrics from Bob Marley Songs. If you need a reminder of his lyrics or need the lyrics highlighted so you can contemplate them without the rest of the song, then this is the book for you. I on the other hand remember most of these lyrics and expected more from this book.
Love it 
2008-07-21 - It's a great mini book. Great thoughts and a few nice photos. Great addition to my personal collection.
Not even thoughts 
2008-01-28 - I ordered this "book" with expectations that it would be Bob Marley's actual thoughts on topics like he sings about (such as the title suggests). Since it was written by his daughter I thought it would be more personal also. When I got it first off I was amazed by the size of it--it's about an inch bigger than the size of a cell phone. Then I started flipping through it, and I was like "hey these are just quotes". Seriously there's nothing written on any of the pages except for one quote a page. Since I like reading quotes and will always write down a good quote when I see it, I read through all 56 "thoughts". The ones that are worth your time writing down (which are only like 5 in the whole pamphlet), you can find on the internet and I've read them all before I even bought the "book". So I basically spent $6 on a "book" of a few quotes that I had already written down before I bought the "book".
Bob Marley Book
2008-01-07 - You know, you may want to include the size of the book next time. I thought it was a regular trade paperback book but it's a novelty item size one buys on "impulse" at the check out lines. Very small. But I still loved the sayings inside of it.
What is it you say most?
2007-05-17 - Since life is just an illusion to reflect back at ourselves, I am glad to have the chance to ponder what Bob Marley thought and spoke most of. I agree with a lot of them, but not all. This is definately a book of "less is more". Makes me want to write "me own". Maybe he knows his name now, "51" or if he comes again "56" will we know him? "55" He's the rainbow too.
