It was a ok read. I read it in one night. I was really looking for something juicy. It was interesting that someone FINALLY confirmed that Nsync did in fact break up, not just a break.
Seems Justin Timberlake saw the spotlight and realized that it was time for him to leave. Such a shame though, Nsync was a great group.

It is an incredibly thin book, especially for a paperback, with wide margins and huge font, and overall, not much to say. Maybe the years have passed and the novelty and shock of being homosexual and famous have worn off to leave this to be harmless drivel, a relatively straightforward narrative with the one (oft repeated) twist of being in the closet at the time. It recycles MTV News reports on Lou Pearlman's defrauding of the boy bands (and Lance Bass was in the closet at the time! Did you get that the first fifty times?). The confession came long after the boy bands were relevant, and with their fans looking back in nostalgia and hoping to add some wry adult perspective to their once silly crushes, this book is a relic of a fantasy land in which a boy bander's homosexuality is an interesting enough concept to carry an entire memoir.

In all fairness, I started out the summer with the intention of reading mind-numbing, self-indulgent C list celebrity memoirs, so I knew what I was getting myself into. This book was the beginning and the end of that mission, because I couldn't even laugh at it, let alone justify wasting my time. He seems like a nice enough guy, sheltered from ever having to become interesting or complex by the two facts that dominate the book and his existence: being famous and being gay. I'm just glad I didn't pay more than three bucks for this.

this book was a great comming into your own story. there was alot more history on insync then i acpected, but it was very good. lance is a strong person and a hero to many.
