5.0 out of 5 stars Best (and only) real, authorized Bio of the Boys, November 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book is the only authorized biography of the five talented Backstreet Boys, and it gives so much information. This is a must read for every fan, as it will let you know the truth about the Boys. All the unofficial books leave out the stuff you really want to know. You can only read the same fact sheets so many times, but this will give you the real deal, right from the real beginning, and every Backstreet Boy gets his own chapter about their childhood (complete with baby pictures!) Go get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars a very wonderful story, December 26, 1999

By	Jul (canada) - See all my reviews

I think this was a great book.It's the only book that I have read that actually tells you the true story.This book tells you everything about them.Not like the other cheep imitation books that the writers them selves don't know anything about the backstreet boys.This was the only story I know that talks about the two (no longer) members of the backstreet boys before Kevin and Brian .There are no other books that even touch on that like this book did. Personaly this book made me laugh and cry,and I loved every word of it. Even if this book is not the best book in the world,it is deffinatly the best ever writen about the backstreet boys.Thank you very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars The biography!, March 9, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Canada) - See all my reviews

I have read several books on the Backstreet Boys, i have been a huge fan of them for over 2yrs. And as much as i thought i knew them. I had NO idea of how much i didn't know until i read this book. It gave a tremendous insite on each of the Boys, life childhood and thier road to sucess in which and why they are where they are today. I was blown away with the imformation and professionalism this author used. I definatly recomend this book for any BSB fans or just someone who wants to learn more about them, or someone looking for a great biography. It also has some great photo's of the BSB from thier childhood up to now. This a truly remarkle book on the Backstreet Boys. And after reading this book you'll have a complete different outlook on the boys, you'll think of them not as huge massive pop stars. But just the sweet down to earth guys, we all dream of finding. I just can't say enough about this bio. So i'll stop now. If any BSB/Nick Carter fan wants to email me feel free.-Shai
