I picked "Heart to Heart", written by Britney Spears and Lynne Spears, today at a local bookstore. It had me glued to my seat until I finally finished the book just now. This book has everything a true fan would want, exceptional and carefully picked photos straight from Britney and her mom, her road to success from her childhood past, to her close family ties, especially, of course, her mother, Lynne Spears. Photos in this book were of most that I have not seen anywhere else, be it the Internet, magazines, or other Britney books. Her father was even in some of the photos (I have not seen ANY pictures of her father ANYWHERE). This struck me as odd, actually seeing her father for the first time, but as I read on, she explained that her father is not very close to her as her mother, because her father is a contractor who moves all across the country. Nevertheless, he has provided the foundation for Britney Spears' success. Jamie Lynne, Britney's younger sister, is described by Britney as "the best sister in the world. She wants to be ME when she grows up. She looks up to me." Britney and Jamie have been very close, ever since Jamie stepped into this world. Descriptions and details about Britney's friend and celebrity bonds are beatifully written. From Ricky Martin, to Melissa Joan Hart. About how she has helped many friends, and celebrities like Melissa Joan Hart, her movie "Drive Me Crazy." This book has it all, from her first tryouts for the Mickey Mouse Club in Orlando, to the spotlight on MTV. Britney recollects in this book about her performances (concerts and award shows) and her attendances (award shows). She absolutely loves talk shows, being able to step out and thank the fans for her success. Want to know how she inherited the title "The Princess of Pop?" Look no further, pick up a copy of "Heart to Heart." A good portion of the book is about her close tie between her and her mother, hence the title "Heart to Heart"; however, do not sidestep this book, for it is even a great book for relationships. With all the bad influences on teens these days, Britney and her mother, Lynne, has provided the idealistic parent-child relationship that we should all follow. The book is aimed at everyone of all ages. I recommend you pick it up, even if you do not seem to like her because she is more than an artist, she is a down to earth person with the human utopian characteristics - generousity, polite, courteous, open-minded, liberal (I could go on and on) - that nowadays everyone needs to have. I assume your reading this because your a fan of Britney Spears, right? Well...what are you waiting for? Buy this book right away, do not hesitate. You will not regret purchasing this book. Oh, and about the other Britney Spears books that are out there. Do not buy them, for they are UNofficial, and they can not even compare to this magnitude of a book. I have almost all the other Britney Spears books out there possible (yes, I am truly DIE-HARD Britney Spears fan), and none of them combined have the wealth and vast information "Heart to Heart" contains. BUY "HEART TO HEART" NOW!

P.S. Thanks Britney (and Lynne) for publishing a knockout of a book. Britney, you have changed my life around, especially my relationship with my mother. I cannot thank you enough. I'll see you in Saint Louis, Missouri, July 16th, 2000, for your concert!

This book is not only for mothers and young girls reaching for the stars. This book is for anyone who enjoys a heart-warming story about a young woman working hard and striving for her dreams. It portrays the importance of family and friends, and the necessity that no matter how successful you are, you should never forget those closest to you. Furthermore, it portrays that with God, anything is possible.

Britney has grown a lot in the past year, evident in the fact that she even decided to write this book. She is sweet, down-to-earth, and generous--as you will read about her charitable contributions. Despite all her success, she is surprisingly modest. She is indeed a role model for children and teenagers.

Reading this book is like sitting down with Britney and Mrs. Spears and listening to them tell stories about their past and present. It is a good, quick read and I highly recommend it.

I just have to say wow! I was not sure exactly what to expect with the book. I thought it might have info. that i already knew and pics i had all ready seen many times. But it was not! It really was like i was a part of the family. There are pics that are very rare and i learned things i never knew. It was great getting a behind the scenes look at the Spears' family. Reading this book made me an even bigger fan of Britney because i know how much she cares for everyone especially her family, friends and even her fans! Britney rocks!

I must confess, I'm not as religious as Britney or her family and the truth is I've never looked forward to reading a book (in general). However, something inside of me told me that this book was a must have. As soon as I opened the book for the first time, I promise I did not close it until I finished it. If I would ever meet Britney in person, I'd give her a big hug as a sign of my appreciation. She has truly been blessed, and has altered my life for the better. I have always adored Britney for who she is, and this book proves it even more. Thank you.

I think this book is excellent. Not only are the pics good, but Britney and Lynne express their feelings in a "i dunno how to describe" way. I used to call Britney Spears Broccoli Spears but after my penpal in the US bought her new album Oops...I did it again and her book for me, I've changed my mind. But there is one minor drawback of Britney. No offence, but she is obsessed with dots. Eg: Baby One More Time. and Oops...I Did It Again. See!

Well, i wasn't a huge fan of Britney Spears...i was justlooking for anything to buy...then i found this wonderful book! It wasso fun to read it! You know, her mom wrote a lot more than her (there are two kinds of letters in there: a little one and a bigger one; the little one is from her mother and the bigger one it's Britney's)...but still is one of the greatest books i've ever read...there's a lot of experiences well related in there, there's a great description of their relationship and a kind of guide to every mom of how to creat their children...i loved it...Britney seems so mature! The pictures are so great too...there are loads of pics when Britney was just a baby and a lot of her growing up! Just great! I used to think that Britney was a little fake but after this book, i just think that she's as wonderful as she looks like...maybe someday i'll meet her and tell her that! That's all...Buy it, you'll love it as i did!

I gave the book 3 stars because I was just so...astounded(!!) at the sacrifices the Spears family made for Britney. Also, I was disgusted at the intense sugarcoating of stories, but I'll get to that later. They must have been DYING to get out of Kentwood, Louisiana. Ms. (Lynne---she's divorced now!!) Spears uproots Britney when she's, what, nine years old? to move to NYC to be a "star". She LEFT HER OTHER CHILDREN (who were both under 12, I may add) 1,000 miles away while she worked with Britney, her little "pet project," all the while giving her a sketchy education. Notice how Britney's cerebral skills are never mentioned in the book, probably because the Spears family realized that they would never have the cash to get out of their little southern ghetto unless they exploited and sold Britney's body and sex appeal. Did she even go to high school?! btw, I was shocked at the fact that when they had no money, they could still buy ice cream and Britney's endless lessons in God-knows-what. What about Bryan and Jamie-Lynn? Why is everything so Britney-Britney-Britney? That family is so warped. This book just bothers me.

This was a great book. It's fantastic that Britney can take time away from her singing to right a 200 page auto-biography. First she was a dancer, singer, gymnast, model, actor, and now she's an author!

This book proves that Britney can write- as well as dance, sing, and act! Really gives you an idea of how she really is- not the person made out by all the false rumors. The pictures were amazing, and the interaction between her and her mom can be a lesson to us all. Also, praise to Lynne Spears for her vital role in this book. If you are any sort of Britney fan at all (and even if your not) you need to give this book a try-this is one thing that will be constantly taken off your shelf to view or read!

It is expected for an artist to write a book which does nothing but say how good they are. However, it gets a little ridiculous when a singer attempts to write a book saying her family is perfect and that her and her mom "would go to the moon and back for each other". Everyone knows that what is being said is simply what Britney and her mom think the public want to hear. What I would have liked to here is the truth about her life.
