I can't see how a book with only 96 pages can cover all the aspects of the career of such a great, good and famous band as Bon Jovi, with already almost twenty years on the road. TO to that, it is necessary a book like Mick Wall wrote about Iron Maiden, called "RUN TO THE HILLS", with almost 300 pages filled with text (not photos).

It's clear from this book that this guy cannot write. Bon Jovi are huge and have a huge story to tell. Can you tell it in 99 pages? Of course not. Where 'The Dirt' by Motley Crue is sublime, this book by Wall is ridiculous. There is no style to his writing. His words are far from exciting, and, are infact, boring. Clearly he has done this just for the money. Unless of course, he just can't write. I suspect he is a college grad who's pa works for the publishing company. You get no insight into the band here, and you learn nothing new. Motley Crue are much finer storytellers, and they are not even writers. (Yes I know the book was ghost written by journo Neil Strauss.) Save your money on this one. I have all the books on Bon Jovi, and this is the only one I'd say steer well clear of. It's just a shame I can't get my money back. Still, die hard Jovi fans will lap it up purely because it's about their fave band and they have to have all the stuff they can collect. But anyone with a brain will give up on this past page 12. Mick Wall, who is he? Get a life and learn to write, buddy! But please, no more rock bios! Leave it to the pro's, like Neil Strauss!

If you're a serious Bon Jovi fan...this is a must have. It's an amazing detailed story about the struggle to be in and stay together in a band. The color pictures are great and the story keeps you glued to the book, not wanting to put it down.

I am a big Bon Jovi fan which made this book very interesting to me. It starts with Jon recording at the Power Station to the madness of Slippery When Wet and New Jersey, to the writing for the These Days album. It covers the trials and tribulations of the band that almost broke them apart and the counseling that brought them back together. Gives great insight to the Young Guns II album with the number one single Blaze of Glory. It is written in British style that makes it harder to read and understand at times but flows well. This is a must for all rock fans and especially fans of the best rock and roll band ever.

This book is a must have for all serious Bon Jovi fans. Read about the trials and tribulations of being one of the most successful bands of this era. It's not all about music and money. This book is a real eye-opener. A must read for any and all Bon Jovi fanatics!

As I saw at Amazon.com, it was arrived on the same way at my home.
I live in Brazil, and the deliver was so quickly too, it was around 10 days.
Thank you so much with the commitment that you have to the customers.

Do you love the Bon jovi as much as i do? Still get goose bumps when you hear Always or the beginning chords of Wanted? Or have you just discovered this great band and want to find out just what you've been missing all these years? Then this book is for you! It covers the everything from their slow but steady start in the bars of New Jersey until their record breaking days as one of the greatest live rock and roll bands ever! But read this book quick because with their new album CRUSH about to hit stores, in June I am quite sure the story is not over. And there will be a quite a few more bon jovi books to read in the not to distant future. But for now this is the best Bon jovi book out there.
