I think this book has lots of info, and some stuff you probably don't know, but there are two downsides to this book. It needs more pictures number one, and also the author of the book repeats some stuff too much. One other thing, that you can't really blame on the book, is that when they talk about releasing albums in different parts of the world, it gets a bit confusing! Otherwise, I thought this book was really great, detailed and gave an interesting view of the boys rise to fame.

When I read the book I fought out how they first met each other. Their personal background, how they grew up as a child. I fought out that A.J., Kevin, and I went through the same thing growing up{if you know about those two and what happened in their life.} I love the Backstreetboys and I found out that they try every possible thing they can to make their fans happy. I think that if a Backstreetboys' fan wants to know everything about them they should get this book..It also, has awesome pictures of the group. So, if your a BSB fan I advise you to buy the book.

The Backstreet Boys are just some kids who had dreams of being pop stars. While people frown on this band as well as Nsync and other "Boy-Bands", they fail to value the potential positive influence such groups can have on our youth. And while those people are to busy doing that, you have the media who play on the emotions of teenaged girls (boys in regards to ChristinaA) and make these fine young artist into perfect-can-do-no-wrong idols and lead young girls to hope that somehow THEY will one day call one thier mate for life. This book does none of that but presents it's case in a down-to-earth manner in which fans can relate to. This can be a positive influence as well as an inspiration to the readers. So go out and get this for your little girl who adores these artist, it will at least get them off the TV for awhile. And it's better than all that teen-mag-fluff.

This book is grreaat!!! I am OBSESSED with the Backstreet Boys! I expecially luv Brian and Nick. But this book makes me luv all of boys that make up the Backstreet Boys, each in a different way. I learned about each of them individually, and I have stuff in common with each of them. I learned about what happened before they hit it big in the US. And I also learned how to tell if a BSB is flirting with you. God, I hope I can use this info in the near future. Anyways, this book is great, and everyone should get it! Keep the Backstreet pride alive! BSB4EVER!

I was a huge Backstreet Boys fan when I bought this book, but I still found it incedibly boring, with no new information. Buy a better BSB biography, if you can find one.

I have been a Backstreet Boys fan for under a year, but I have to admit I love them. My sweet <sarcasism> 19 yr. old brother got me this book for a gift. It was really easy to read (maybe because I'm 16...) & it was entertaining. Their little biographies are so cute. I cried when I read Kevin's, Brian's, & AJ's because of the sad things that happened in their pre-Backstreet lives. Then again I'm really sensative! Anyway, this is a great BSB book, and it has a picture of Kevin wearing a Kentucky tee-shirt! Go UK!!!!

This book written by Sherri Rifkin, was filled with great facts, and lots of info! Even though Sherri has never met the Backstreet Boys, she wrote it as if she met them and as if they told her information about their life. Overall it was an excellent book.

It was a sensational book! I learned so much about the 5 hottest guys in the world. I am so glad I bought it. I'm in the middle of reading it a 4th time.

With this book you can get the scoop on all the guys and even find out which boy you are most compatable with. This book is good for any Backstreet Boy fan.

This book was fabulous. I love AJ very much, and maybe by writing this review he will someday try and e-mail me. AJ I love you!
