kocham one direction, koniec i kropka.

[Gabkazdroj (Variousbook)]

Biografia tylko z dwóch lat trwania zespołu ale napisania bardzo fajnie i wciągająco. Nie widzę sensu w ocenianiu

[Jenna Jessup · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although this is an unofficial "biography" about the group it still was accurate and interesting. This is way way back when they were brand new and it was interesting reading their achievements from an early stage and comparing it to their recent autobiography. It was very quick to read and interesting.
