Dancin' With Hanson Satisfies Like No Other!, September 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dancin' with Hanson (Paperback)
Having been a fan of Hanson for over two years, I'd read all the books on them and for the most part, came away feeling pretty empty. Most of them consisted mainly of excerpts from teen magazines. Even "Hanson, The Official Book" left me feeling less than satisfied for, although the book was sanctioned by Hanson themselves, I felt the author was afraid to give too much away. So when I learned that Ravi, the guitarist who toured with Hanson for a year, had written a book on the band, I raced down to the mall to check it out. For once, I was not disappointed! Written in journal-entry style, Ravi makes you feel as though you are on the road with Hanson. Stories of carrying 11-year old Zac on his back, of Taylor generously running off the stage to fetch him a bottle of water, and of discussing the perils of frizzy hair with Isaac make you feel as if you know the guys. "Dancin' With Hanson" is full of facts that the teen magazines don't know, and that the authors officially appointed by Hanson may be hesitant to share. Ravi takes you from the Hanson's hotel room, to the tour bus, and out onto the stage in a way no one else can or will. Though obviously a good friend of the Hanson family, Ravi tells the truth without sugar-coating, when he writes of Isaac's moodiness, Taylor's occasional forgetfulness, and Zac's understandable fear of the mob scenes. Not to mention the family's tendency to show up four hours late for rehearsals! Yet we come away from the book assured that Hanson does indeed care about their fans. For anyone whose appetite for Hanson info has not yet been fulfilled, this book is a must read! Order your copy now!

A real look at the lives of Isaac, Tay and Zac, May 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Dancin' with Hanson (Paperback)
I have every attainable Hanson book known to man and this is my favorite. It gives you a real, in-depth look at the lives of the Hansons and really shows their personality. It also includes subtle information about their family and other business related friends. Because Ravi was their backup guitarist we know that this info is true unlike the majority of other hanson books. While reading the others i frequently come across "facts" that are simply not true and i've heard from the Hansons' own mouths the exact opposite. This is the best Hanson book out there. I would suggest this book to anyone, even non teenie boppers because it shows an inside look to celebrities lives and shows us what its really like behind the scenes. BUY THIS BOOK!!!
