From a humble upbringing in Ontario, Canada, Bieber - a self taught musician - exploded onto the music scene after his homemade pop videos became a YouTube phenomenon, receiving over 10 million hits. Now with a platinum debut album and scores of number 1 hits under his belt, not to mention millions of devoted followers worldwide, Bieber is a global superstar and is here to stay.

But I'm sure there would be plenty BELIBERs that would sill cry out for more. From my point of veiw ( i before E except after C!)
view, a guy who was swept up in the hesterior, i love all that Justin Bei...(i b4 E) Bieber whips up. From the flick of the hair to the fact that
he is taking love to the world. yeah there are haters. Lets just feel good that hes got an income for the rest of his life, and hope
that he will be smart enough to make the changes into the adult world so he dosn't end up regretting all the fun, joy, memories
and mayhem that he has given a generation of people, ok mostly girls, ok mostly kids much younger than me, but i like to think I'm a
kid at heart anyways. As for the haters, well lets face it, love is a difficult quality for SOME to show. Well done JB!
Justin's talent and hard work under the guidance of Scooter Braun and Usher has proven to be amazing. It is so good to know about the pleasure the performances are bringing to so many young people and the charitable work Justin's team is doing to help others in this difficult world economy.
I hope many people will purchase Justin's book and share it with young people so they can see that dreams can come true.
1. First of all, the book contains exclusive photos and a free poster. But if you don't read the inside cover of the book (bottom right) carefully...you might spend time looking for that poster inside the book. But it turns out it is printed behind the cover. If you want to put up the poster, you have to remove the cover and pin up the poster which is on the back of the cover.
2. For those of you who get a FIRST edition of the book, you should know that removing the cover and pinning it to your wall could reduce the value of your book as a collectible. But if you don't care about that and want the poster pasted on a wall, inside a locker, etc....then go for it! Also, maybe it is just the first editions that have this issue but the front of the cover (the part with the words Justin Bieber on it, in bold purple letters) does show through to the back... but only if you are looking at it in bright light. It won't be visible when put on a wall. If you want to have a collectible copy, you might want to buy two books. Leave the cover on the (hopefully) FIRST edition and pin the poster from the second book on your wall or wherever you want it. It all depends on how much you want the book to retain its value (assuming Bieber retains his popularity).
INFO ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE BOOK:
1, A special DM to Bieber's fans, including info that every female fan is his "favorite girl", each for a different reason. He also lets fans know that they have a chance to connect with him on Twitter or get soaked in a water fight after a concert. The book is full-color, including photos - and there are photos on many, many pages.
2. Information about how he reached stardom, his connection with Usher and the My World Tour. He also notes that "my word got very big, very fast, and based on a lot of sad examples from the past, a lot of people expect me to get lost in it." Of course, he doesn't expect to go down that path and here's hoping he beats the odds.
3. A chapter titled "A Secret Musician" which goes into details about Justin's birth, his hometown, pride in being a Canadian and how he spent his time. Bieber opens up about his parents' divorce and how hard his parents worked to stay financially afloat. He also describes time spent with his grandparents and why Justin speaks both French and English.
4. A section called "Big Family Christmas" which focuses on all the details about how Justin spent each Christmas, with his family, including a gift exchange tradition that included rolling dice (yes, rolling dice) as a part of the gift exchange. He explains how the dice action ties into exchanging presents.
5. Another chapter about his family and how his mother made mistakes and admitted them... but changed after she went to church. Not surprisingly, Bieber notes how important God is to him.
There are also details about YouTube (of course, since Bieber reached his first fans there) and very detailed information from Bieber about how he went from YouTube to stardom...step by step. On many of the pages are actual tweets which were sent by Bieber, revealing his popularity on Twitter as well as YouTube. Of course, the book is filled with tons of photos, many noted to be exclusive. There are shots of Bieber leaping onto the stage, talking to his mother, hanging out with Usher and his manager, etc. Of course, for those fans who just want to see Justin alone, in close-up photos, there are plenty of those, including that poster. Only dedicated fans, those who search for every photo of Justin out there, are likely to know which photos in the book have never been published before.
About that poster: don't expect the poster to be huge. It is a little over 22 inches long (as best I could measure it, since it included folds and I couldn't get it completely flat). The good news about the poster? It is a life-size head shot of Justin, focusing primarily on his face but revealing a bit of his V-neck shirt or sweater as well as the gold chain around his neck. The bad news about the poster? You'll have to live with the creases that were created when it was folded around the book. You might be able to get rid of them but you'd probably damage the poster or risk tearing it to get rid of those creases. Even so, the life-sized face, showing every one of Bieber's eyelashes, freckles and distinctive hairstyle, should have fans swooning.

Every belieber should have this book. It’s really inspiring and motvating, how a young boy , despite the hardships of life, turned out to be a worldwide pop sensation.
Das Buch ist sehr hochwertig bearbeitet mit tollen Bildern und tollem Umschlag. Der Text ist leicht verständlich.
Wer sein Englisch verbessern will oder allgemein mal was englisches lesen möchte ist dieses Buch perfekt. Außerdem ist die Story wie ein talentierter Junge der an seine Träume glaubt und es letztendlich schafft sie zu erfüllen sehr interessant. Man muss nicht unbedingt ein Justin Bieber Fan sein um sich durch dieses Buch inspirieren zu lassen. Außerdem ist der Preis auch echt top.
