Givin' It Their All: The Backstreet Boys' Rise to the Top Reviews:
Boring 
2003-07-29 - 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.
Great and Informative 
2000-07-22 - 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.
Great Facts Without A Lot Of Fluff. 
2000-05-17 - 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.
The Best BSB Book I Read So Far!
1999-11-29 - This is a great book! It has everything in it. This book has great pictures, personal biographies, and stories. My favorite part was finding out how crazy their fans can get! You should definitely get this book.
I thought this book was good!
1999-06-14 - I think this book has lots of info, and some stuff you probably don't know, but there are two downsides to this book. It needs more pictures number one, and also the author of the book repeats some stuff too much. One other thing, that you can't really blame on the book, is that when they talk about releasing albums in different parts of the world, it gets a bit confusing! Otherwise, I thought this book was really great, detailed and gave an interesting view of the boys rise to fame.
