One Direction: Five Lives
One Five Lives is an intimate book of the lives of One Direction band members, Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis and Zayn.
Showbiz writer, Jim Maloney, tells the band members’ stories from childhood to international stardom. Using interviews with friends, fans and those who have worked with them, he has written a rounded and unbiased book about their hopes, traumas and triumphs, the odd scandal and, most of all, the sheer exuberance of teenage dreams realised beyond all expectation.
When they appeared on X-Factor in 2010, One Direction re-energised the boy band format at a stroke and have gone on to achieve mega stardom in less than four years. Their debut album Up All Night topped the charts in both the UK and the USA – something even The Beatles never achieved. Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis and Zayn rocketed to global stardom, triggering hysteria among female fans wherever they went, and securing a 2014 world stadium tour.

As someone who thought there was nothing I didn't know about them, I found out I was wrong. So detailed and well explained. The author took his job seriously in writing and investigating. I recommend it if you liked or like these boys.
