Review
Of all the millions of words written about the Jamaican Rasta reggae hero, this book encapsulates the most concise and complete information about Marley ... If you want to place a Marley biography in your library, this is the one to buy. --Barbara Makeda Blake Hannah, Rastafarian scholar and journalist
Bob Marley: A Life succeeds in telling the story of a man who has left an incredible library of work to be enjoyed by generations to come with warmth and style. It is a treasure of Marley lore, an inspired examination of the man, his music and his legacy. Quite simply -- to put it in musical terms -- it is a hit. --Toronto Sun
Chronological birth-to-death sketch of Jamaica s premier musician. St. Kitts-based journalist Steckles, one of the reggae icon s more devout devotees, has spent countless moons cataloging all forms of Bob Marley minutiae. From an overview of Wailers producer Lee Scratch Perry and his notorious royalty rip-offs to a reexamination of the night Marley took a bullet in the arm from an unknown assassin, Steckles squeezes in all the necessary info for Zion Lion neophytes... immensely fresh. ...Make no mistake, this debut author can turn a phrase...brimming over with excellent trivia. --Kirkus Reviews

Steckles, a journalist covering reggae and Caribbean culture internationally, had access to the largest Marley archive... well written.
