Give It to You: Jordon

by Leah Furman and Elina Furman

Gone is the skinny braid down the back of his neck, the cheesy -- yet quite catchy -- dance moves, and gone is his sugary sweet sound from his days as head hottie of the global teen superstar musical group New Kids On the Block.

Customer Reviews

Hardly "A Different Party", this book will "Give It To You".

I bought this book last year, ON the day of its release, so dedicated a Jordan Knight fan am I. Easy reading; after all, this isn't Shakespeare--and doesn't need to be. But while it doesn't offer any earth-shattering insights(I actually did know everything recited in it already and could quote the original sources without a bibliography handy, if asked), it does offer honest, accurate information, however simply stated it may be. There are some nice pictures of Jordan, mostly from his New Kids days, with a few newer ones. Personally, my favorite part was the listing of Jordan Knight websites given, with grades for each; and I was glad to see that my favorite("Jordan Knight: Since You Walked Into My Life", whose webmistress is Melissa C., a very friendly and knowledgeable young lady who deserves to be Jordan's personal assistant) got the props it deserved, an A+. I do recommend this book for fans who have followed Jordan since he was in New Kids and want a nice piece of solo memorabilia on him and to the newer fans who are just discovering why Jordan has enchanted so many of us for so long, who need some good basic information on him and how he's gotten to where he is today. The only book about Jordan that could be any better would be his autobiography--but he's a little young, yet, for that.

This book surprised me! It's actually good!

Hello, all. GIVE IT TO YOU: THE JORDAN KNIGHT STORY has got to be one of the most eloquent, well-written pieces on a hot young celebrity today. Not only is Knight's life story artfully told, but the language the authors use is mature and not offensive. In other words, there aren't any "Like, Oh My Gawd, Jordan is like SUCH a babeliscious dude. He's like total eye candy and like I just want him to be my bf." Even though I love Jordan Knight and am his biggest fan and would have bought this book even if it was dumb, I actually ended up pleasantly surprised and liked it very much. It had everything I wanted to know about this hot dude, and more! Bravo!!! I highly recommend this book!!!

Cool book on Jordan Knight

I was so excited when I got this book, since the old books on NKOTB never had such in depth account on any of the singers. The author followed Jordan's career from the begining of NKOTB to his sucessfull solo debut. This definitely makes for one fascinating and entertaining read. Bravo Jordan! Way to go!!!

An amazing book about an amazing guy

I loved this book. It had everthing you would ever want to know about the talented and gorgeous Jordan Knight. From his childhood days with his family to his heartthrob days with NKOTB, Ms. Furman's book is informative and precise. The pictures are great--bring back a lot of memories! It's about time that someone did a bio on a real talented younger singer. This book did not talk down to the fans, it "spoke" to us in a mature way. I'm one of the older fans, and I appreciate the fact that there was no ridiculous language that you read in teeny bopper magazines about stars today. A must have for every Jordan Knight fan out there!! And there are a lot of us!

A comprehensive and honest portrayal of Jordan's life

Besides the few errors that I found which only die hard fans would notice and why I can't give it 5 stars, like New Kids presenting the Grammy to MC Hammer instead of Young MC, and the Tommy Page song "I Will Be Your Everything, instead of "I'll Be Your Everything", the book is a very good read. Being one of Jordan's older fans, I assumed the book would talk down to the reader, and use a lot of exciting buzz words to keep the new younger fans interested, as many others have in the past. To my surprise the book was a well written, comprehensive, and honest portrayal of the life and times of Jordan and NKOTB. I found that the book brouht back many nalstigic memories for me, and the pictures, especially the one on the cover, will get any red blooded girls heart racing. So, I do recomend picking up a copy for anyone who is interested in learning about Jordan's life, and any hard core block heads out there who have lived through the mania, and want to be reminded of the good old days.
