5.0 out of 5 stars The best place to go for Hanson information, December 15, 2000

This review is from: Hanson: The Official Book (Paperback)

I had to order this book from Borders because I ordered it in July, 2000. I received it the day before the Hanson concert in Tulsa. Yes, I was at the kick off concert for the "This Time Around" tour. It wasn't, at all, easy to get tickets to the Tulsa one, but I did it. I also went to the Norman, OK one the day after Zac's 15th b-day. They were both excellent. The Norman one was much better than the Tulsa one. In just 3 months time their concerts had changed a lot. Definitely for the better. Just as they've improved in their live shows, their albums keep getting better and better. I loved this book for the pure reason that it's Official. They're friends with the author and they had imput on it. All of the other books, you never know. If only, these other authors actually had imput by Hanson, not to mention, permission. Oh, FYI, I'm nowhere near being a teeny bopper. I'm 29. Yes, I live in Tulsa. No, I've never met them. The question that people ask me the most is "Why do you like Hanson?" I just say, "They're the real thing." What you see is what you get. There's no hidden motive. That doesn't happen often, in this world. Needless to say, I read the book the day that I got it. I couldn't put it down until it was done. There's so much to learn and so little time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Hanson book, August 5, 2000

By

This review is from: Hanson: The Official Book (Paperback)

Who wants to know the true story about how Hanson became who they are today? This book is the best way to teach you the basics, written by Jarod Gollihare, who was a friend of theirs (also a musician). It's a GREAT account, leading you through Isaac, Taylor, and Zac's love and devotion to music and what it took for them to reach their dreams. The book is well written and truthful, as well as exciting to read and full of great pictures. I absolutely recommend it for any fans of the band!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just so perfect, it is gives you chills!, April 22, 1999

This book definately is a recommendee. It has the truth and nothing but. The photography is fantastic and the pictures blend well with the quotes and stories. Though there are not seperate chapters for each of the brothers, the group facts are enough to make up for it. Great job, Mr. Gollihare, for capturing the true blue Hanson.
