Life is Just What You Make it My Story So Far

Summary: A backstage peek at one of my favorite stars.
Review: I've loved Donny since age 8. I remember slumber parties where we would croon along with Donny as he sang "Go Away Little Girl". Thirty years later, I was privileged to see Donny perform his amazing "Joseph" role and get his autograph after the show. This book is a backstage glimpse into the life of a true star. His wife, Debbie, offered the support we all dreamed of as we practiced writing "Mrs. Donny Osmond" on our notebooks. I loved Donny at 8, and still feel affection, and much respect, for him now. A must-read for those of us who grew up with Donny posters on the wall.

Summary: SO INSPIRING AND ENLIGHTENING!!! GRABS YOUR HEART.
Review: Growing during the generation that Donny was a teen idol, it was so enlightening reading his book. He is so very open with his heart in the book and I found I couldn't put the book down. There are moments of laughs along with tears. It's wonderful to see what a strong individual he is but how sensitive and vulnerable. The book shows a side of Donny that most of us never knew or saw. If I was a fan then,I am a bigger fan now - for his openness to the world is courageous and compelling. Donny, I wish you many years of sweet and happy times to you and your family.

Summary: I enjoyed Donny's book very much!
Review: Growing up in the same generation and being this teen idols fan, I found going down memory lane with Donny a lot of fun. As a grown woman reading this book I feel I know the man he grew up to be....turning my own teenage emotions into adult thoughts of admiration to this man he became. His struggles, his triumphs, his genuine love of his family and how he lives his life is a book worth reading about.

Summary: I couldn't put this book down!
Review: I was not an Donny Osmond fan growing up and only recently became aware of the quality of his voice through his musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat and most recently Disney's Mulan, so I was basically unbiased when I read this book. I have to say though, I was impressed. Everyone can get something from this book.

Summary: VERY ENLIGHTENING.
Review: IT IS AMAZING THAT YOU CAN ADMIRE SOMEONE FOR 29 YEARS AND STILL BE SHOCKED. THE BOOK MADE ME LAUGH AND SOME PARTS MADE ME WANT TO CRY. IT BROUGHT BACK SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES.

Summary: I certainly learned a lot about Donny that I didn't know.
Review: I was suprised to find him so human but still true to his beliefs

Summary: This book is incredible. Couldn't put it down
Review: I have mixed emotions about this book. While it was an incredible read and every word was riveting. I must say that I was saddened by what I learned about Donny's treatment from his parents. Why was he made to sacrifice his life for his father's dream. To me the things I read were child abuse. And where was his mother when he cried for her? At home counting the money? Breaking child labor laws, not being allowed to have friends? And their church condons this? What kind of parenting is that? Is it only me that sees this is wrong? In closing I have to say that you don't have to be an Osmond fan to read and enjoy this book.
