I am what is considered a hardcore 'Diva', that is, a loyal follower of Il Divo. I love their music and I love each of the men that make up the group. This biography is okay but you can learn just as much about the quartet on Wikipedia. I'm serious. If you want to hear the real story of each of these superb talents, I recommend 'Our Music, Our Journey, Our Words' rather than this. Then you can read David, Seb, Urs and Carlos' stories told their way.

Does this biography provide sufficient and accurate information about the world's greatest Popera supergroup? Yes. Does it provide insight into what makes these men tick, about their talents and the lives behind them? Not so much.

Save your money and time and read their autobiography instead.
