This book is a completely unauthorized biography, and Bon Jovi has absolutely no connection with this book. They even denounced the book as rubbish on their website! If you are a true Bon Jovi fan you know that books like these are not the real story behind the band. If you really want actual information about Bon Jovi then go to www.bonjovi.com or www.backstagewithjbj.com to learn more. Bon Jovi is a great band with a wonderful story to tell but don't believe everything you read unless it is endorsed by the band.

I read this book because I like Bon Jovi and his band. I "follow" the band since 1983, when I meet them into a local radio station around New-York. I read a lot of books concerning Bon Jovi, but this one is very clear. You can follow the life of the Bon Jovi 's band whithout difficulties. There are a lot of chapters, very clear. It's simple and very easy, very clear to read. One negative point it's maybye there are not much pictures into the book. I think that the band could have more than 4 pages of pictures but for the rest, it's a great book. If you are a real Bon Jovi s'fan, read it.

I think Bon Jovi is an excellent band and It was interesting to find out more about the band! This book was so well written that it was the best biography I have ever read and I read many!This book was informative and it made me feel like I knew Bon Jovi personally!

As an old Bon Jovi fan I was completely dissapointed by this book. It is absolutely clear that the content is based just on the info gathered from media and the author haven't even met the band members or other people mentioned in the book. Some of the facts and opinions in the book are very doubtful. I think any Bon Jovi fan could write a better 'biography'. Dont waste money on this one.

I am a HUGE Bon Jovi fan. I did enjoy this book, but it left me wanting more. I expected more information other than what every Bon Jovi fan already knows. It didn't delve deep into the real solid relationship between the band members. The story is about Jon and how he got started. If you're hoping for information about his marriage and children, you will be disappointed. This book is not a behind the scenes look at the man, but more about life with the band, the struggles and achievements.

Pass this one up. As a longtime BonJovi fan, I usually enjoy reading anything about the band but this book is just rehash. She's never met or interviewed the boys, she just put together other people's work and called it a book. Don't waste your money.

Boring meaning, I knew it all already -didnt have to spend the $$$ on it-

I enjoyed the book since I was a die hard Jon Bon Jovi fan in the 80's! I had quite the crush on him with his long locks & beautiful face. Only second to David Cassidy lol! The book really doesn't enlighten anyone on much more than what could be picked up in fan magazines thru the years, but if you're a JBJ fan, you will like this book. It's an easy read & has alot of nice pictures of him & his band. This guy was born with it all & has never really known any grief or bad luck or what the dark side of life can bring to many by the time you're middle aged. From the time he was born, it's like a bunch of good fairies stood over his crib & blessed him with all the best life can bring. Great parents, siblings, exceptional great looks, a great wife that he met as a teenage boy, great kids, great voice, great fame, the list is endless. We should all know life such as JBJ has known it. He seems like a sincerely nice guy & very well rounded & the fame & riches have not spoiled him. You still look great too Jon & of course you're aging magnificently! I found the book a tad boring though but that wasn't the author's fault when you're writing about someone that has had a perfect life with everything always falling into place perfectly!

A fantastic insight into how the man became the legend. Read about his passion, motivation & work-aholic ethics & how they make him continually strive for more. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in knowing where John Bongiovi came from & the path he & his bandmates followed in getting to where they are today. Goes up to 2003. Where's the next book?! This was brilliant - I want more!

Jon Bon Jovi is great and this is a great book about him.
