Halarious in parts, I had tears in my eyes - what a hard case bunch! (2008-08-14)

This was fantastically interested, and reflected what a great bunch of very talented men they are - with full on senses of humour, I have had several late nights now as I couldnt put the book down, lying there laughing til tears came out! Especially the bit about meeting the Pope!Amazing the pressure they were under at times, and even starting young managed to keep their heads.If they think others believe it is cool to slag off westlife (shame on them) remember the same happened to ABBA and they are still a well respected band also with amazing voices and talent.WESTLIFE - PLEASE COME BACK TO NEW ZEALAND, & YOUR LATEST SONG SOUNDS FAB!GOD has blessed you with amazing talent and good looks, all those prayers by your Mothers paid off! all the best & forgoodness sake just keep it coming :o)

thoroughly great read (2008-08-09)

i was in two minds as wether to get this book or not and glad i did it took me two days to read i found once i picked it up i couldnt put it down

Must buy book! (2008-08-08)

omg after I placed my order in on Saturday night (2nd of August) I was dead excited and I recieved it on the Monday (4th of August) I was soo happy how quick the dispatch and delievery was, and since Monday I recieved it I couldn't put it down and now it's my 5th day into reading the book and I'm on my 8th chapter already, omg I can't believe it.According to the book it's basically telling me that Mark haven't been gay all his life and most people out there thought he was but I kind of did at first but since I read the book it proved me wrong lol. I was crying through a stage where it said that Nicky got beaten up when he was about 11 or 12, I was crying my heart out when I read this part of the book. Any who Westlife fan's buy this book if you haven't already, it's a very emotional way of life how they grew up into what they are now.

Westlife-Our Story (2008-07-18)

My 15 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed reading this autobiography. She has been a huge Westlife fan and she couldn't put it down and read it in a few days. The only problem she found with it was that when each member starts their part of the story, they show the reader who was saying it by writing: "Kian says", "Shane recalls" etc. She felt it was very repetitive and she thought there could have been a much simpler way to show who was writing. That was the only fault of the novel, otherwise, a great read.

Westlife are unbreakable (2008-07-11)

I received the book earlier than I thought but never mind. I'd read it in 12 hours probably less. It was amazing to read.... find out little things I never knew or read in other books on them. It was more personal and very enjoyable. I found myself laughing and crying as I read the book.The personal photos the lads have added into the book allow you that little bit closer to them which I think is fab!I'd recommend this to anyone not only cos I am a fan but also to show others what Westlife really are about.Westlife are amazing and "unbreakable" as Kian said on the Turnaround Tour
