Very interesting book, hard to put down

Whether or not you are a Sanjaya fan, this is a very interesting look at the whole "Idol" process. For Fanjayas, it's a must! a good read and take it to the beach.

Sanjaya's book

This was a gift for my 17 year old grandaughter. She must have liked it, she has read it 4 times so far. I'm still waiting for my chance to read it.

a great book!

I was so pleasantly suprised at the candor and personality reflected in Sanjaja's book. I'm a 'boomer' that was struck by his uniqueness, and yes, his talent. A great quick read and gives the reader insight not only to him, but to the world of American Idol. I enjoyed it!

Intelligently Written and Thought Provoking

This is an amazing and quite educational book that will inspire others to pursue their dreams in any area of their lives...if one can muster at least half of Sanjaya's incredible strength. While there are literally thousands upon thousands who have been disappointed and completely devastated by the grueling auditions of American Idol, the soulful insight that Sanjaya shares will help to provide a sound foundation into the nerve-racking experience of those who dare to take the challenge...and that's only in reference to the auditions. His personal message in the very beginning of the book is so intelligently written and thought provoking that it's hard to contemplate what this amazingly talented young rising star will accomplish in the future. This book can easily be implemented not only in one's personal life, but also utilized as a masterful guideline in many facets, hopes and dreams in life in general, especially pertaining to goals that are trying to be accomplished; i.e. business, private relationship, family, self-improvement, meaning in life, self-esteem, substance of beliefs and on and on. A must-have in every household, school, company, etc., that focuses in helping others strengthen their inner-core perception in becoming mentally and physically healthy in today's society...a perfect score of big TEN ones!

A fun and interesting read

I really enjoyed this book because it gives the whole Sanjaya phenomenon from Sanjaya's perspective. Everybody was like "what was he thinking," and now you get to know what he was thinking and what was really happening behind the scenes. I thought it was candidly and charmingly written. At the end of the book, I found myself wishing there was more to read. I think I'm going to go back now and read it all again.
