Book Reviews of The Autobiography of Donovan: The Hurdy Gurdy Man

Book Review: narcissistically delusional
Summary: 2 Stars

All you Donovan fans can make excuses for this sloppily written claim to have invented the air we all breathed in the sixties, but wow, this book is mostly an embarrassing drag. For all the information that is useful, it pales next to the inevitable cringe that is just around the corner when he takes credit for his amazing prescience for everything imaginable. A gift from a flower to a garden? More like the gift from a turd to a punchbowl.

Summary of The Autobiography of Donovan: The Hurdy Gurdy Man

Often called Britain+s Bob Dylan, Donovan was an unconventional artist, a romantic outsider who ushered in a new sound to the folk genre. His international hits -Mellow Yellow+ and -Jennifer Juniper+ brought folk music to mainstream audiences.Scheduled to coincide with his 40th anniversary tour and the release of Sony/BMG+s box set, The Autobiography of Donovan is an openly honest memoir about the life and times of Donovan. He recalls everything, from his days as an itinerate teen, camping on beaches and hitchhiking, to his life as a chart-topping folk star hob-knobbing with such legends as Joan Baez, Brian Jones, and even Bob Dylan, as well as his legendary trip with the Beatles to the Maharishi.With the same poetic charm that made his songs classics, The Autobiography of Donovan is a celebration of the +60s, filled with all the joy, love, and reverie of the times.
