I started reading it yesterday and it is good. The bits before the XFactor are dead interesting. I knew the boys craved a lot but didn't know that they made the rounds actually trying to get noticed themselves. God bless 'em. If anything the book makes you love them more - if that's possible. its amazing right how they set their mind up on sth they really want to. their determination is really admirable

Glad they both think the book is crap, cos they are right. So really glad they didn't have to do a signing for it. If I'd been the actual author I'd be embarrassed to sign it. The spelling mistakes weren't even funny spelling mistake.

All such a shame but the plus side is that J&E will get some royalties from it so there's no need to feel bad about actually buying it

wishes they had kept those tour updates going, they would have made great little diary things for their own book

what confuse me is does the JED didnt have a look at the book and have approve of it after mock up/proofread everything. its their bio afterall.

Do you really think they have much say at this stage ? I personally feel they are caught between wanting to imput more of their creative ideas into things they do, and being at the beck and call of management as it's still fairly early days in their career and they know that these connections are the way forward. It's a shame, as their creative outlet is mainly channelled through their own vids / photos they produce. Someone needs to listen to their ideas, however whacky they may sound to them, and let them try them out, the boys know themselves best and know what their fans want. The same applies to their music too, when will they be given original material to sing? As much as I love their covers, I cannot wait to hear new songs from them.

Do you reckon Justin Bieber wrote his bio? I damnwell doubt he found the time. Even Britney Spears and Madonna haven't written their own bio's.
This was just a money making thing really. You could see that when it was first announced. The twins don't have time.

I picked this up for a fiver in Asda the other day. I haven't got past the schooldays chapter. I can't read it. The quality of the writing is appalling. I can't believe the author has an MA in Journalism. I know that target audience is probably kids but she could have done better than that

Shocked good or shocked bad Jade? It cerainly made the 'big shop' more enjoyable as I took on the role of minding the trolly at the end of aisles whilst my other half fetched our supplies so that I could keep looking at the pictures
