About the author

Wilford Daniel (Danny) White is a former quarterback and punter for the Dallas Cowboys and an American football coach in the Arena Football League. He has been the color commentator for Cowboys games on Compass Media Networks' America's Team Radio Network since the 2011 season.
A graduate of Westwood High School in Mesa, Arizona, he didn't receive a lot of notice while being the starter at quarterback, because back then he was a better baseball prospect.
Frank Kush, then the football head coach at Arizona State University, helped convinced Bobby Winkles, the school's baseball coach, to sign White to a scholarship with the provision that he would also play punter for the football team. During those early years Kush gave him a chance to improve his skills as a quarterback, which eventually would lead him to become the starter midway through his sophomore season, ending up throwing for 6 touchdowns in a game against the University of New Mexico.
White went on to have a stellar career as a quarterback and punter, compiling a 33-4 record, winning 3 Fiesta Bowls, setting 7 NCAA passing records and being named All-America in 1973, when he lead the nation's second rated total offense. He finished with 6,717 passing yards, 64 touchdowns, 42 interceptions and averaged 41.7 yards per punt.
Besides having his jersey retired, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, the State of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame and the Arizona State University Hall of Fame. In 2000 he was named Arizona Athlete of the Century by the Arizona Republic.

This book is really good for directioners and I really like as it tell how life goes step my step. Their life were kind of the same when they weren't popular yet, but now they are the British Most Popular Boy Band. But they are not popular in Europe only, they are popular around the world. They are phenomenal.

Hubieron muchos errores en el libro y lo encontré aburrido en cambio con otros libros de biografía de 1D. Hasta yo puedo hacer un libro como este.

GOD DAMN I LOVE ONE DIRECTION

[「美佳」liesolitte · Rating 2 out of 5]

No es que sea una lectura fantástica y que recomendaría... pero me resultó interesante, sólo por el hecho de explicar cómo es cada uno y lo que soñaban o aspiraban.

Como una persona que no vio la temporada de Factor X en la cual participaron 1D, para mi, esta biografía es una muy buena lectura.

Los primeros cinco capítulos fueron un tanto aburridos porque ya sabía la mayoría de la información que el autor escribió. Pero después el libro pasó a ser una preciosa review de cada performance de los chicos en el programa. Yo recomendaría ver cada actuación después de leer el capítulo dedicado a ella en caso de que queráis meteros todavía más en el tema.

El único error que he encontrado fue que el autor escribió el nombre completo de Niall como Niall Timothy Horan cuando se supone que es Niall James Horan. Quien sabe.

lots of love, Katya

The book, The One Direction Story: An Unauthorized Biography by Danny White, is a read for mostly girls who are interested into the band One Direction. There are many pictures near the middle of the book. It shows this band on tours, concerts, signing CD's, etc. I also like how there is at least one chapter for each individual player in this group. If you know very little about One Direction and you want to learn more about them, sing your way into The One Direction Story: An Unauthorized Biography.

Na een lange tijd kon ik dit boek eindelijk weer lenen in de bibliotheek. Ik moest nog maar 39 pagina's van de 222, dus ik kan er niet echt een goede mening meer over geven. Wel vond ik het leuk om te lezen, maar er stonden een aantal dingen in die niet klopten. Ook was het meeste al bekend bij mij.

I read /1D - The One Direction Story: An Unauthorized Biography/, by Danny White.

I'm not a fan of the band so didn't care too much for the 5 lads' personal stories.

The most interesting tidbit is that the five guys in the bands were the 5 guys that did NOT make it to the X Factor finals... rather than just let them go home, having just been cut from the competition, Simon Cowell thought they might work as a band... great intuition, obviously.

I checked out a few of their songs. Not my thing, but slick production and nice hooks, though the harmony mostly moved together in unison and could have been much more melodically interesting. It was easy to see why their music was or is popular.

Es un libro muy interesante que relata los inicios de One Direction, junto a una mini biografía de cada uno de los integrantes. Fue muy entretenido de leer ya que me recuerda a momentos de infancia al ser fan de One Direction. Hay momentos que se saltan cosas y que uno como fan, sabe que son importantes, habían muchos datos que yo no conocía y es impresionante ver lo muy importantes que fueron para la industria musical. Si eres fan de la banda, te recomiendo leerlo sin duda alguna. ❤️‍🩹

So I know I’m late, like sooooo late but I’m now officially obsessed with One Direction and Harry Styles!! I didn’t know anything about the band before this book so for me I actually learned quite a bit about their journey. I really enjoyed this book!!
