Michael Heatley does an outstanding job in presenting Justin Timberlake as a *super star* filled with ambition, drive, determination but most of all as being down-to-earth and non-pretentious. It's not about being born with talent that Justin feels but about his continued hard work that has led him to where he is. As the author so well points out, "The sky's the limit for Justin!"

The book is a bit out of date as the entire reading leads up to his first solo album titled, Justified. However, the album is detailed song by song with brief descriptions of each track. Quite extraordinary is the way the author expresses his emotions, condenses otherwise lengthy explanations, and brings the "essentials" to the lime light. On the down side, there are no "extreme" details on Justin Timberlake's love life with juicy gossip type insights. The author merely points out the names of the past flames, and discusses some more on Britney and Justin's relationship considering it was so strong at its core. The video for Cry Me a River, Pt. 1 is analyzed with the names of the actors and what each represented as well as more. The relationship with women in the past were not the only thing looked into. Also, Timbaland, Nelly, Brian McKnight, and other rap stars took their concepts and ideas of how they felt about Justin. One even stating that Justin was a black guy trapped in a white boy's body. Chad Hugo and Pharrell were mentioned as well as how Justin wanted an album about R&B vs. pop. He preferred to stand out with his music with a more blend of cultures including Spanish and hip-hop to show his "true" likings to that kind of music. R&B is really what he loves most although he states he loves all kinds of music including U2.

Not to much on his family background was discussed like his parents split, his step brothers or the new marriage. The book focused just on Justin Timberlake. The sales comparisons between the UK and US were quite apparent in showing that Justin stands a higher ground in the UK with sales that land him in the #1 spot on his Justified album while #2 in the US [according to the first reports of sales]. Also, over the singles the UK also proved to have Justin much more in the #1 top positions thus making Justin very happy and proud to reach England. Emotionally Justin shows a side to him that is not really what appears on his videos or performances. This book will take you into just "who" Justin Timberlake "really" is. The dreamgirl he desires is someone as close to his mom that he can find. And up to this date, from many tabloids no woman has come close. He is also very devoted to his career and feels God has given him a precious gift he values, treasures, and enjoys. Even mentioning that when he writes a song it's as if someone else is writing it for him or as if he is guided spiritually.

Be sure to give this book a chance and get to know all the things about Justin never heard of from his favorite foods, dress styles, and hang outs to his favorite music inspirations, celebrities, rap stars, and more. The author definitely has a passion to write about Justin, it shows!

*The book includes glossy photos in color from Justin as a baby, teen, adult, and with friends.
