1.0 out of 5 stars Boring, Jul 29 2003

By	Claire Decock "Claire" (Ashland, OR United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was a huge Backstreet Boys fan when I bought this book, but I still found it incedibly boring, with no new information. Buy a better BSB biography, if you can find one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great and Informative, Jul 22 2000

By A Customer

When I read the book I fought out how they first met each other. Their personal background, how they grew up as a child. I fought out that A.J., Kevin, and I went through the same thing growing up{if you know about those two and what happened in their life.} I love the Backstreetboys and I found out that they try every possible thing they can to make their fans happy. I think that if a Backstreetboys' fan wants to know everything about them they should get this book..It also, has awesome pictures of the group. So, if your a BSB fan I advise you to buy the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Facts Without A Lot Of Fluff., May 16 2000

By	One World "One World" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews

The Backstreet Boys are just some kids who had dreams of being pop stars. While people frown on this band as well as Nsync and other "Boy-Bands", they fail to value the potential positive influence such groups can have on our youth. And while those people are to busy doing that, you have the media who play on the emotions of teenaged girls (boys in regards to ChristinaA) and make these fine young artist into perfect-can-do-no-wrong idols and lead young girls to hope that somehow THEY will one day call one thier mate for life. This book does none of that but presents it's case in a down-to-earth manner in which fans can relate to. This can be a positive influence as well as an inspiration to the readers. So go out and get this for your little girl who adores these artist, it will at least get them off the TV for awhile. And it's better than all that teen-mag-fluff.
