What A Fairy Tale Life!
I enjoyed the book since I was a die hard Jon Bon Jovi fan in the 80's!I had quite the crush on him with his long locks & beautiful face.Only second to David Cassidy lol!The book really doesn't enlighten anyone on much more than what could be picked up in fan magazines thru the years, but if you're a JBJ fan, you will like this book.It's an easy read & has alot of nice pictures of him & his band.This guy was born with it all & has never really known any grief or bad luck or what the dark side of life can bring to many by the time you're middle aged.From the time he was born, it's like a bunch of good fairies stood over his crib & blessed him with all the best life can bring.Great parents, siblings, exceptional great looks, a great wife that he met as a teenage boy, great kids, great voice, great fame, the list is endless.We should all know life such as JBJ has known it.He seems like a sincerely nice guy & very well rounded & the fame & riches have not spoiled him.You still look great too Jon & of course you're aging magnificently!I found the book a tad boring though but that wasn't the author's fault when you're writing about someone that has had a perfect life with everything always falling into place perfectly!

Educational & Fascinating!
A fantastic insight into how the man became the legend. Read about his passion, motivation & work-aholic ethics & how they make him continually strive for more. I'd highly recommend this to anyone interested in knowing where John Bongiovi came from & the path he & his bandmates followed in getting to where they are today. Goes up to 2003. Where's the next book?! This was brilliant - I want more!

Christine's review
I am a HUGE Bon Jovi fan.I did enjoy this book, but it left me wanting more.I expected more information other than what every Bon Jovi fan already knows.It didn't delve deep into the real solid relationship between the band members.The story is about Jon and how he got started.If you're hoping for information about his marriage and children, you will be disappointed.This book is not a behind the scenes look at the man, but more about life with the band, the struggles and achievements.

Jon Bon Jovi
Jon Bon Jovi is great and this is a great book about him.

junk mail!
Pass this one up. As a longtime BonJovi fan, I usually enjoy reading anything about the band but this book is just rehash.She's never met or interviewed the boys, she just put together other people's work and called it a book.Don't waste your money. ... Read more

Excerpt: Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and became the first recording artist to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. According to Billboard magazine, she was the most successful artist of the 1990s in the United States. and is also considered to be one of the most influential female vocalists in contemporary music. Following her separation from Mottola in 1997, Carey introduced elements of hip hop into her album work, to much initial success, but her popularity was in decline when she left Columbia in 2001. She signed to Virgin Records but was dropped from the label and bought out of her contract the following year after a highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown, as well as the poor reception given to Glitter, her film and soundtrack project. In 2002, Carey signed with Island Records, and after a relatively unsuccessful pe...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19499 ... Read more

Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, Tico Torres, David Bryan, Hugh Mcdonald, Alec John Such. Excerpt:Alec John Such Alec John Such (born November 14, 1952 in Yonkers, New York ) is the former bassist for the band Bon Jovi . He left the band in 1994 and has not been officially replaced. As well as playing bass guitar, Such sang backing vocals and occasionally took the lead for part of 'Blood on Blood' at live shows. He is of Hungarian descent (his surname is Sz cs in Hungarian ). According to interviews with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora in an episode of Behind the Music , Such was dismissed from the band for unsatisfactory performance during live concerts . Also his quality of session recordings during the Cross Road album were a contributing factor to his dismissal from Bon Jovi. However, viewers were not able to hear his side of the story; he declined to be interviewed by the show. On Bon Jovi's Biography special Richie Sambora claimed that Alec "was tired" and that with Bon Jovi's ambitions "you need to keep up". Whether Such was fired for subpar performances, quit on his own merits, or left for other reasons has still not been definitively answered. It is still a heated topic for debate among Bon Jovi fans to this day. Alec John Such gave an interview with David Ling for a magazine and gave details of behind the scenes information and was asked to leave. Bon Jovi once said "what goes on in the family, stays in the family". Jon tried to sue David Ling over the controversial quotes at first stating Ling was exaggerating, but Ling had the entire interview with Such on tape to back up the story. Hugh McDonald took over Such's position as bassist, having already played on several albums from Bon Jovi's debut onwards. However, he is not an "official" member of the band, since the me... ...
