Customer Reviews

I wouldn't recommend it
I have been a great Bon Jovi fan for many years, but sorry I would not recommend this book. The book told me nothing that I didn't already know about how Bon Jovi started out and how their success grew around the world to become what they are today.

Brilliant!!
I really do diagree with all the other reviewers about this book, probably because I knew very little about Jon's life before I read it.
"Jon Bon Jovi" goes into great detail about the great man's early years and how the legendary rock band Bon Jovi came to be, I found the whole thing totally interesting and once I picked it up, I found it hard to put back down. Brilliantly written and makes for compulsive reading, this really is a wonderful portrait of a legend.
If you're looking for a good read, I recommened this biography.

not worth it!!
I am a huge fan of bon jovi and i have to say im very disappointed with this book its not even an official biography very boring, and definatley not a book id recommend to anyone fans were warned of this book in advance by an official bon jovi website telling us that it was not worth reading. so if i were you i wouldnt bother.
