Heart And Soul Of Nick Carter Secrets Only A Mother Knows: Amazon.ca: Jane Carter: Books

Product Description

Book Description

You know him as a superstar who's won awards and appeared in videos and pulls all those great moves onstage. But long before he was a Backstreet Boy, he was my boy--and I want to share his whole exctitng story with you.

I'll tell you about my favorite memories of Nick, as both a mom and a manager...what he was like as a little boy, his dreams, the early auditions and contests, the pain and the heartbreak along the way, the big break, and the behind-the-scenes entries that only an insider gets to see.

Since I've been in touch with so many of you, I know the kinds of things you really want to know. And just like you, I love him too--so let me share some secrets (and maybe brag just a little...after all, I am his mom).

Best,

Jane E. Carter

Ingram

The story of Nick Carter, the most popular member of The Backstreet Boys, is told--from boyhood to the big time--by his mother/manager.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's all about Nick...., Mar 18 2003

By	Laury B. "lauryb_77" (Canada) - See all my reviews

If you thought you knew all there is to know about Nick Carter, think again! Jane Carter tells us some stuff about her son that only she and the rest of Nick's family know about. This is a very nice book, beautifully written by Jane. It is full of secrets and anecdotes about Nick's childhood and rise to superstardom. However, the information about Nick's career may seem kind of old, now, since this book was published in 1998. Perhaps Jane should have waited a couple of years before writing a book about her son, because God knows she would have plenty of things to say : she could give her opinion on Nick's arrest, his solo career, the trials and tribulations that the Backstreet Boys have been through, Nick's relationship with Willa Ford (yeah right, like Nick would let her write about that!!), etc. Nick's been through a lot of things since 1998, and I believe that if Jane decided to write another book about Nick, it would have a lot more substance and depth than this one. But don't get me wrong! It's a great read, as pleasant as a fairytale. Because, in many ways, that's what Nick's life is! And seeing it through his mother's eyes really gives it a whole new dimension.

4.0 out of 5 stars As a BSB fan you have to read it some time.................., Feb 19 2002

By A Customer

I have got the book and I like the writing style and to know the facts as a BSB fan. I kinda think it's wrong to get money out of someone else his succes, but on the other hand it ain't lies and Nick knew of and agreed with it, so as not such a big fan anymore (NO I didn't become a hater) I would suggest it, but not too much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Only For TRUE Nick Carter Fans!, Dec 4 2001

By	"the_decockster" (Ashland, Oregon) - See all my reviews

I'll be completely honest:

If I weren't such an obsessed Backstreet Boys fan, I would consider this book (bad).

It's not well-written, it wanders and meanders to the point it doesn't make sense, and it's very self-serving.

However, being an obsessed Backstreet Boys/Nick Carter fan, I love the book.

The first few chapters are the best, because they read more like a story than a biography. Plus, they told me the most about Nick that I didn't already know.

Near the end, however, it turns into a "How to Turn Your Kid Into a Star" how-to manual. BORING!

BOTTOM LINE: LOVE Nick Carter? Buy the book. LIKE Nick Carter? Borrow it from a friend or the library. COULDN'T CARE LESS about Nick Carter? Avoid this book like the plague.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the Aaron Carter one
this book is very good and gives great detail on his early life and now but it is now considered outdated (it's from 1998) but it still gives a great deal. Read more
