Dylan delighted with book reviews

Bob Dylan was stunned when critics applauded his book Chronicles, Volume 1 - because he believes they really knew what they're talking about.

The Hurricane superstar has never taken music reviews all that seriously, but he felt proud of himself when book experts were more than kind about his memoirs.

Dylan says: "Most people who write about music, they have no idea what if feels like to play it, but, with the book I wrote, I thought: 'The people who are writing reviews of this book, man, they know what the hell they're talking about.'

"They know how to write a book, they know more about it than me. The reviews of this book, some of 'em almost made me cry - in a good way. I'd never felt that from a music critic, ever."
