Awsome, touching and suprising insite into Donny's life.

It's a can't put down kind of book. Awsome, touching and suprising insight into the life of someone we all 'grew-up' with. He's like our brother or best friend, even though we've never met him or his family. I was moved to tears in parts and laughed with him in others. I was truely amazed at how much I enjoyed this book. My respect and appreciation for Donny Osmond and the entire Osmand clan, although already high, is even higher. Thank you Donny for sharing the deepest part of your being with us. Thank you Debbie for allowing him to do so. May our Heavenly Fathers blessings be upon you alway.

A captivating book that takes the reader down memory lane.

I recently took a trip down memory lane and was sad to read that a public that can be so adoring can also be so cruel. I was left with a wonderful sense of Donny's love; for his parents, his children, his siblings, but more importantly for his wife. I am also left with a respect and admiration for the boy and the man who lived his life just as he made it.

Enjoyable account of a childhood celebrity

I picked up this book with some trepidation, expecting it to be just another tell-all expose'. However I was pleasantly surprised. Osmond discusses, in depth, his feelings surrounding his childhood, as well as his religious beliefs. I was expecting to find accounts of womanizing, drugs,& alcohol, (as so many other former childhood celebrities reveal) but pleasantly there is none of that. He seems to have come out of his celebrity studded childhood and adolescence ( as well as his "lean years") and has matured into a genuine good-guy. Its nice to know there are still some of them around.

It's not another "Poor Me" celebrity autobiography.

I loved it! I read it cover-to cover in one sitting. I was afraid it was going to be a "poor me" story. It definitely was not. Yes, Mr. Osmond does talk about the challenges of being a child star, but there is no bitterness in it. It's not a "revenge" book either as are so many celebrity autobiographies today. The situations involving other that he does cite he does with objectivity - recognizing others' points of views. So, if that's what it's not, then what is it? It is like being a fly on the wall in the life of Donny Osmond. So many of us watched him grow up and saw his life from the outside in. Here we get a chance to learn what it was like from his perspective. It challenges some of what we thought we knew about Donny and lets us get a glimpse into the very real, very normal person behind the image and, as the book jacket reads "fall in love with him all over again".

Fascinating bio of my childhood idol

Oh, gosh, I just loved Donnie Osmond when I was a kid. It is so fascinating to read what was going on in his life and the stories behind the scenes. Even if you are not a fan, it is fascinating to read about how this family handled its success and fame and kept such values and morals. This is a biography that was written with honesty and openness.
