They sing with such beautiful harmony and I can't wait for their next album. I bought this eBook because I wanted to see if the boys are as down-to-earth as they appear in their videos. I certainly wasn't disappointed. The five angel-faced singers all have heart-warming stories, and the way they all wrote about their families was wonderful. It's great that the boys all get along and take care of each other. They are now more than brothers. The photos in this eBook showed up beautifully and in full colour. The pictures give an insight into their lives before they became One Direction. Simon Cowell couldn't have picked a more endearing, compatible, handsome group of singers than these five boys. He must be so proud of them. They are all exceptional! Harry: Harry is such a fun-loving and entertaining lad, and his voice is absolutely fabulous!!!! When I first heard him sing, I stopped what I was doing to listen. I was surprised to hear such a strong voice coming from such a young singer. It's beautiful and unique, but he also sounds a bit like Mick Jagger. It was nice to read that Harry loves his family, and I love how he treats his fans. If you watch One Direction videos, you'll clearly see how he interacts with them. The fans adore him, and why wouldn't they? His face and his voice are captivating. The fact that he's not afraid to cry in public shows how down-to-earth and honest he is. He mentioned in this book how he used to sing Elvis songs. Oh, I'd love to hear 1D sing Elvis ballads. That would be cool. Harry also wrote that he once sang Brian Adams' song, 'Summer of 69' in a competition and won. That's one of my all-time favorite songs, so please, One Direction, sing that one. Harry is fun-loving, endearing, and photogenic, (like all the lads in One direction.) I don't think Harry will change with fame, I hope not because he's unique. I love his voice, and his personality, and I can't wait to see what he does in the coming years. Stay you, Harry! Liam: The first time I heard Liam sing, I was mesmerized. He sings from the heart. After watching him in music videos and YouTube, and seeing how fit he looks, I was surprised to read that he only has one kidney. My heart goes out to him because as well as being ill as a child, he was bullied. He even learned how to box at twelve and got injured. So considering his health issues, Liam is amazing, a brave soul and a survivor. He keeps fit by running, exercising, and eating healthy, and not staying up late. Amazing. It must be hard having to limit his fluid intake too, especially with the lifestyle he now has to live, and with his exercise regime. He's so wise for such a young man, especially having to manage the stress that comes with being in a famous band and traveling the world, plus sleeping in different beds all the time. Liam, your rock!!! You're so sensible and you're an inspiration to young and old, the sick and the healthy. Love your hair, long or short, and your voice and looks will melt any girl's heart. Louis: Not only does Lois have a wonderful voice, but he's a natural comedian. He makes me laugh. Like me, he always seems to be up to some kind of mischief. We have something else in common. We both come from big families and went to a primary school in Doncaster. Yay for Doncaster! I wish I could sing as well as Louis. When I was at school, I was informed that if I wanted to stay in the choir to compete against other schools, I'd have to mime because my voice was so horrible. :( So mime I did and I went to the Singing Festival. I should have received an Oscar for that roll, but all I got was a clip round the ear-hole for overacting and embarrassing my class teacher. :( Louis looks as mischievous in his childhood photos as he does now. He has a handsome smiley-face and I suspect he's the one the others boys tell their problems to just so he'll make them laugh. I bet when Louis and Harry get together, they're a couple of rouges because they are close friends and seem to have the same sense of humour. I love practical jokes, and I've noticed Louis plays them on stage. LOL. (So have some of the others.) It's entertaining, so keep us laughing, Louis! Nial: Nial is also full of fun and mischievous. He has a magic voice and is always smiling. I love his Irish accent! My dad was Irish. Nial wrote how The X Factor brought his parents closer together. That was cool. When Nial plays the guitar and sings, he looks so comfortable with it. I love hearing the boys play their guitars as they sing. Nial is also down-to earth, which is great considering how famous 1D is. He has an angelic face and a beautiful voice and though the fans adore him, he's not at all vain, which is sweet. Zayn: What a fabulous voice Zayn has, and a face to match. His eyelashes are so long and when he sings into the camera, he looks so sincere. There's no wonder Zayn has a sensitive, soft nature. He has three sisters and many female cousins. I guess they influenced him and he saw what girls like by being around them, and learned how they like to be treated. Zane wrote how he takes a while to get to know people before he relates to them properly, and how he likes girls more buy their personalities than their looks. That's such a nice quality to have. I'm so glad Zayn's mother made him audition that day. Thank you Mrs Malik! Zayn, keep being you! You're not only kind and humble, you have a Hollywood looks and a beautiful voice. It's lovely how the boys are so close. They apparently ring each other when they're away and say how much they miss each other. How adorable, they're closer than most brothers. Hopefully, they'll all stay together as One Direction forever. And because they all have Hollywood looks, I'm sure they'll end up being movie stars too. And if my Angel Series was ever made into a movie, (hey, I can dream too LOL), I would only like one of these guys to play the part of the hero, (the good angel, not the bad one.) I love One Direction's music. It's so romantic and uplifting. Their music videos are fabulous and now I'm a fan of their books too. Now I see they've been to Africa and are promoting Red-Nose Day. I'll have to go and check that out. Keep rocking the world, boys! Or should I say, The Universe! Ominous Love One Direction - Design #1 - Hard Case Cover for iPod Touch 4 One Direction - Design #1 - Hard Case Cover for iPod Touch 4 Rascals Sing at The Opera House. (Adventures of Rascals, Polly and Gertie) Review: 5 Brilliant Lads - So first of all I would like to say that I'm a massive One Direction fan. I finally got a chance to purchase this book, and it came exactly when it was said to! It came only just yesterday and I've already finished reading it once! It features all the boys talking about generally the same things, but from their different perspectives. The book also includes many glossy pictures! Truthfully, a lot of the stuff I already knew, being such a dedicated fan, but others I didn't. The boys make some jokes too that got me laughing while reading! I would say this is a worthwhile buy for any person who is even remotely a fan of One Direction. By the end of it, you'll probably love them as much as all the hardcore fans out there, if not you'll just massively respect them. This boys share a lot about their personal lives in Dare To Dream, and they make themselves really relatable too!

5 Brilliant Lads

Fast fun read
This was a fast fun read. I made it through in just two days. It feels like the boys are speaking right to you and you really do learn a lot of cool facts about them, the show (X Factor) and their journey to becoming pop starts. I really liked how the book was organised. Each guy has a chapter in which they pretty much cover similar details. That may sound boring to you but it is actually cool because you get each of their perspectives. At the end of each of their chapter is a good list of random facts. All throughout there are pictures - quite a few of them so the book isn't as long as it looks.

Amazing...Adorable!!! Fantastic!!
This book was so good!! I even bought it on my Kindle Fire and the pictures were still there and had their own pages. This is a must buy for any true Directioner!! This book is adorable and heartwarming, especially if you love these five guys! I definitely recommend this to any fan of One Direction and I even think that people who aren't fans or aren't sure whether they are fans or not yet, should read this. This is written by them about their lives and I think that people who aren't fans should still read it too, and not just judge them. Get to know them by reading this amazing book. Everyone needs to get this!! <3

TEENAGE DREAM MAKER!
How do you entertain young teenage girls for the summer? BUY THIS BOOK! I've not received as many hugs and kisses ALL YEAR LONG until presenting this book to my daughter and her bestie. They don't go anywhere without toting this book with them. The pictures and the quality of the book are great, and in my opinion, a great purchase for the awesome price offered (under $10). The print is somewhat larger than normal (but then again, what is considered normal?) It has made for an enjoyable, fun-filled, and socialable read. The only CON I found as a parent would be the couple pictures where these boys are in their undies. I wish I had pre-viewed the books more thoroughly before presenting them to two overly obsessed, manic 1D fans (perhaps ripped these pages out, took a sharpie to the page, or at least bought ear plugs!) Overall, there wasn't anything I would consider 'inappropriate', nothing but legs are revealed, but I wanted to present this warning.

Great for young girls who are fans
When my 13-year old niece opened it, she couldn't put it down. For young fans who are also avid readers, this is a great choice. It's a very thick book, so I can't imagine what can take up so many pages!! I can say the quality of the publishing was very good.

Nice to know their humble start , etc.

One Direction - Dare to Dream
Dare to Dream I bought this book for my granddaughter and she loves, loves, loves it. She loves anything to do with One Direction but regardless of that, this book is good value. Great quality and beautiful photos. It arrived much faster than I expected. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the book, and the service. I'm not sure which repetition of reading the book my granddaughter has reached now. I know it's a good few more than one, and she only got it at Christmas.

Ok this book is both stimulating and a fascinating read. The amount of information that these boys provide is a stalkers dream. *sigh* Nah seriously, this was a stocking filler for my daughter, and she was made up. There's loads of stuff in there (whether true or publicist's imagination, does it matter, it's for a child!) and as stated in the headline I was surprised by the size. You do get a lot of book for your money (I've had all sorts of crush books in the past that were little more than pamphlets) and it'll keep your 1D fan happy.

Totally in love, especially with the boys haha. I'm very excited to read it!!! The best part is that it's hardcover and I got it at an affordable price.

Amazingly written! I loved reading this book and learning about the boys’ lives before and after fame. This is an amazing read!
