Brilliant read!!! July 11, 2008
After receiving my copy, I couldn't wait to start, and after starting I had a hard time putting it down. It is a great read, although it dosen't feel like your reading, they could be right beside you and telling you their story directly to you. Great job guys!!
AMAZING!!!!! A MUST READ July 3, 2008

This book is absolutely brilliant, even if u are not a westlife fan i would buy it as it will change ur opinion on them. I got my book the day it came out and queued for 8hours at manchester to get it signed!!!! It shows u that Westlife arent just a cover band in suits, they are four normal lads enjoying what they do. This book makes u feel that u know the lads on a more personal level, it makes u feel like u have been on the tour bus with them, backstage before and after the shows and been through the ups and downs that they have. Also the lads write their own personal messages to fans in the book which makes u feel like that are actually talking to u. This book shows u how much Westlife really appreciates their fans.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I FINALLY received my copy of the book yesterday, thanks to Amazon for promising I would have it on the release date, took them another 4 days post release for it to be delivered. Never had a problem with Amazon not delivering on time before, so I'll take it as a one off.
Opened the first page last night when I crawled into bed, and before I knew it I was over half way through the book. Totally mind blowing learning so many things I would never have expected to find out. Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian tell their story from one place and one place only, their hearts. Less than 24 hours since I started reading it I'm only a few pages off the end and I like some other reviewers have said, literally laughed and cried my way through every single page. Hearing just how tough things got at times just shows what amazing lads these guys have become. What comes through from the very start of the book is just how grounded they all are, and where their roots come from and will always remain.
Having known of the lads from when they first started out as IOYOU in Co Sligo (thanks to my cousin who works at NWR) I have followed every single moment of their long and arduous journey. I am so unbelievably proud to call myself a Westlife Fan. I'm not going to say I'm their Number 1 Fan because no one is, whether people have been there from the start (like me) or just a few months, one thing's for sure the lads appreciate every single one of us.
The book is just mind blowing and I would like to thank the lads for letting us come into their world even more and share some of the most amazing memories of their last 10 years. Shane, Mark, Nicky and Kian enjoy the next 12 months whilst you have time out. You guys deserve every single second of it, the book and forth coming DVD of Croke Park (I was there and it was mind blowing) will keep me going until you're back doing what you do best.
For any Westlife fan who hasn't been able to read the book for far, I honestly say take advantage of the very reduced price on Amazon and Happy Reading!

I loved this book. A lot of autobiographies are a bit of an anticlimax because they turn out the same clean and safe stories you've heard many times before.
But reading this book really feels like you're getting to ask Westlife all the things you ever wanted to know about them and getting an honest answer. There are quite a few stories in here which you wouldn't expect from a band like Westlife - I don't want to give the game away for those who haven't read it yet - but there were certainly some surprises for me, and I thought I knew most things about them! It's written in a way which feels like the band are talking directly to you and as such it's very refreshing.
A must have read for anyone who thinks they know everything there is to know about Westlife - it turns out, you probably don't - but you might once you've read this!
This is such a brilliant read... June 20, 2008

I have been really suprised with this book. I didn't know what to expect but all the insider stories revealed have been so exciting to read. I don't want to ruin it for anyone so I won't say too much.
It's crazy because I've seen them so many times and it really feels like you are there when you're reading it, which I wouldn't say for lots of the other biographies I've got.
I loved hearing about the stories from when they were still at school but also the tales from when they were on tour were pretty amazing.
I haven't even finished it yet so you'll probably hear from me again.
Can't wait for the next ten years.
