David Archuleta, American Idol Season 7 Runner Up, wasn’t too young when he penned his memoirs in Chords of Strength. So it might not come as a big surprise that the Super Celeb Justin Bieber has penned his first book/memoir/autobiography too. Called Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story, it is a 240-page glossy-filled autobiography that covers range of his 16 years from his childhood in Stratford to his current success.
The book includes many exclusive photos for Justin’s fans as well as the story of his road to fame and his near overnight success. Bieber had his “Love Me” Video dedicated to all his fans. The little boy really knows how to keep the fans smiling. The images from his work on the upcoming episodes of CSI should also bring a grin to people’s faces as well.
It however seems a bit ironic that a YouTube made superstar would go old school and release a book. The book priced at $24.99, is loaded with photos, song lyrics and tweets and is much lighter on content. The marketers know the teen’s audience, and it suits just best.
The jacket of the book unfolds into a perfect locker-sized poster. The book starts with the arrival of the teen sensation at the XL Center in Hartford, where he headlines his first big stadium show and tastes success. By the time you reach second chapter, the story goes back to his early years in Stratford, narrating his rise to fame.
The book also lays emphasis on his family. The book talks about his parents’ divorce to the confusion of a family Christmas infuse with tradition and gravy. His love for his grandfather is quite particularly apparent. Bieber also doles out lots of teen advice. He said, “. . . You have to let yourself do stuff you’re not good at. Don’t get hung up on what other people think about what you’re doing.” He added, “Dare to be a sucky skate boarder or a lousy video editor or a completely crappy golfer.”
The book mentions his athletic side and his desire to hide his musical side early on. He also mentions about his Stratford Star experience at the age of 12, he says, “I was feeling really good about how it went, but not cocky at all. I didn’t assume I’d win, but really, really, really wanted to.” He was placed third. The book also provides insight into the backstage life at a concert.
The book is good and shows how proud Canadian from Stratford he is, who hasn’t changed with success. It ends with a big thank you to all his fans.
