Editorial Review:
Straight From The UK
With bad-boy good looks, talent to burn, and to-die-for English accents, the hottest new British invasion is 5ive, an all-boy band with a new kind of sound. Edgier than the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, 5ive is a powerhouse combination of pop, hip-hop, and rock, with some reggae and rap thrown in.
You've probably heard their cool tunes--like the chartbusting When the Lights Go Out and Slam Dunk (Da Funk)--now author Anna Louise Golden goes into their hearts and souls to find out...what kind of girls make their five hearts skip a beat...the amazing story of their rise to super-stardom...how they almost became the Spice Boys...why they've been branded the Bad Boy band (and whether it's really true)...and much, much more!
Contains 8 pages of fabulous color photos!
5ive Reviews:
Reads Almost Like A Novel 
2001-03-29 - Golden tosses interesting tidbits about England into her writing. Not only did I get to learn about a recently popular band, but I also found out that there are two kinds of rugby, that Birmingham is in the middle of the U.K, and that an awful lot of young Englishmen are leaving school at age 16.
The book was written at the start of 1999, when Golden had hopes that Five would someday be big in the U.S. Unfortunately their second album stiffed in the U.S. and Five's manager Bob Herbert died. In a way anyone who reads this book knows how the story ended even though Golden herself did not.
THIS BOOK ROCKS! 
2000-07-01 - This is such the best book. It tells you everything you need to know about the best band ever, 5ive. It told me stuff I didn't even know before, even though I'm the biggest 5ive fan alive. I suggest you buy it, it rules!
Good book-but,......
2000-01-21 - This book is really good, but of course there are some mistakes-Scott's name,and b-day.Scott's birthday is November 22nd,1979! Nothing else was wrong with it in my opinion.There's some great pics of the guys in the center.Has info on their songs.Overall- a good book on a great group!I think other Five fans would enjoy this book even though there are some mistakes.
oh this book is wicked
1999-09-23 - Its so great it has everything. i lost mine but i had read it and i love it.It has everything, from when J first moved to now. Its the greatist
Ok 
1999-07-19 - The book is OK. But i think if your going to right a book about these guys you should at least know the facts! Scotts name is Scott James Tim not Scott Timothy James and his Bday is on the 22nd of November not the 27th! But I guess its ok because it has good pictures and SOME correct information.
