Jon Bon Jovi : The Biography Paperback – September 23, 2004

I haven't read this yet, but if it's as good as any of the other books written about him, it has to be great!! He's just an amazing talent. Thank you.

My wife is enjoying reading it.

I love bon jivi added to my bon jovi things

I did not think I would learn anything new that I did not already know before, but this book was much more informative than I expected. It talks in depth about all the reasons behind everything, about Jon's early inspirations, and how all of the hits ranked on the charts.Although it was overflowing with endless knowledge, the facts seemed to just be listed off on the page at times. I wish that she wrote it as more of a story so that the reader is drawn in deeper so that they can feel like they were there. So that when the ending comes around, the reader feels like they truly know Jon Bon Jovi. His story is so easy to get caught up in all the emotion and excitement, but she hindered that effect by just laying out the facts. She tried to express his determined personality, great accomplishments, humble beginnings, and drive by using descriptive language. Her choice of words were great, but it didn't flow well and the British slang made one too many appearances.At parts she would give away what happens further into his life, which might not bother most people, but it bothered me. If Jon didn't know of something at that point in his life, then the reader shouldn't know it at that point in the story either. That way the reader can better connect to Jon and might be able to better understand what he was going through.She used many quotes by all of the band members of the band to better describe events happening, even though the quotes were from the media. I won't bash her for not interviewing the band because I know that they are very reluctant to give away their inside story. So she did her best in gathering and organizing all of the information she has obtained throughout the years.Even though this is a biography about Jon, she still talks a great deal about the other members of the band. But she doesn't overdo it so much that it would have to be called a biography on the band Bon Jovi because she doesn't talk about their childhoods or go too in depth about their personal lives, just about their time spent in the band with Jon.

LOVE Jon Bon Jovi and thought I knew all of his story-WRONG!! This man has, clearly, worked long and hard to acheive the success that he has and yet, doesn't forget his family or to give back in appreciation for all that has come from his hard work. Grabbed me from Page 1 and engrossed me until the end. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to all Rock fans but, most especially to Jon's fans who will enjoy and appreciate him, his band mates and their achievements even more than they did before reading this book!! :)

I found the information on how the "Band" was formed interesting. I also have a new respect for the tenacity and determination of Mr. Jon Bon Jovi. And for the rest of the Band. They all have talents they pursue outside of Bon Jovi! A quick and fascinating read!

I purchased this book because I am a huge Bon Jovi fan and I was disappointed because it is an updated version from the original one which I thought I ordered .....It doesn't say in the description when I ordered it !!! only a few photos and the spelling in the book is incorrect on a bunch of the pages and hard to read the small print, I thought I had purchased the original so I am disappointed and the seller should say updated version from 2010. Save your money

I bought this book biography because Bonjovi is the sexiest man alive!!!! I wanted it for my collection
