Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-02 00:00:00 Ruben Orozco Fantastic read for fans of the girls and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Split up into sections it is easily readable with plenty of pictures to pad the book out and make it appear longer than it is. Glossy pages also.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-10-24 00:00:00 Leon Yiu I've been following GA since they first came out, watched every DVD and clips online I could find. So a Lot that in this book isn't news to me. Still it's nice to read about their opinions on different stages of their career. The early days during Popstars, this book really shows, what a cruel world this media industry really is or can be to a lot of people. I mean this girls while competing we're as young as 16 years old and were cut from family and friends to battle for a place in the band. They had each other, but it seems other than that they were alone. And reading about panic attacks and stuff they wenn trough, they should have got more attention then just a nurse. They should have had cunselling and a theraphist all the way trough. And at least for the underage girls there should have been a family member in site. And someone to track the working hours...gesh Seems like they were on the verge of getting mentally ill from all the stress and nobody cared, because it makes good TV. Love Pop, hate the business. Shallow world they live in - diets, shoes and clothing. I mean, I do understand. Media and so on. But it also shows, that mostly they were puppets of the industry and don't have enough time to reflect whats their opinion on things. They value family, honesty and friendship above everything and can mostly stand up for themselves, but other than that... All in all it seems, that the Girls never had time to deeply reflect or speak to an outside person and sort their mental stuff out. Like this book was their first chance to do so. It also get's quite repetitive at some points.
