great!

this is a great book and a must for all backstreet boy fans and for anyone who is thinking about a career in music

A perfect fan

I bought Jane's book last year, but actually haven't had any time to review it. Now I do and I can't wait! This is, honestly, one of the best biographies I've ever read. I love biographies, and I know when I see a good one. This book is so easy to read I guarantee you'll do it in less than 2 hours. I even did that! And my mother language is Spanish, not English. Besides, it's not only about Nick. Jane gives you the full scoope on the Carter family, their way of living, to conquer goals and more! When I read it... I just though of my mom. And if you really pay attention to it, you'll see why Nick came out the way he is! That's what YOU call a perfect fan! Congratulations Jane! P.S. Any chance of writing another one about the other boys? ~*HUGS*~

One of the best books on Nick Carter EVER!

This is one of the best books I have ever read on the Backstreet Boys. Obviously it was on Nick Carter, you know from the title. But, Jane Carter also would add some tidbits on the Backstreet Boys and their way to fame. It was really inspirational, it showed that you should NEVER give up on a dream, because, who knows? One day, it might come true, like Nick's. It was great to read something like this, it was REALLY well written, and there's even a special intro written by Nick himself. I almost cried reading it, it was really heartfelt and sentimental. Thank you Jane for writting this book, it means everything to me.

a book about the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

a book that gives us the inside story,where other books about Nick will never reach.A book for all die-hard Nick Carter fans.You have to get it! The book is filled with info about Nick's life,it's filled with joys and tears,that make you cry and laugh all at the same time.And at the end,you look at Nick in a different light,he's not just a blonde haired, blue eyes,great smile guy in one of the worlds most talented bands,he's a person. He worked hard to achieve his goal,and thank the lord he did,or I wouldn't be able to sleep at night,without hearing his voice! This is one of the best books that I have ever read,if you are one of the die-hard Nick fans,like me,you'll know that this book will be worth every cent of your money. Mrs.Jane Carter,I salute you for raising Nick in your tender love and care,thanks for helping him achieve his goal!

A wonderful book for parents as well as kids.

As the mother of a teenage Nick Carter fan, who likes to keep up on her daughter's interests, I decided to read "The Heart and Soul of Nick Carter." I am so glad I did. Not only did it give me some insight as to why my daughter is so in love with this singer whose pictures are plastered all over her bedroom (he is so much more than just a gorgeous, talented performer) but it also gave a lot of insight on parenting. Jane Carter is one incredible woman (which is probably why her son is such a sweetheart). I love the fact that she taught Nick to never lose sight of the morals and values in life that are truly important - regardless of how much success he achieves. In a world filled with "show-biz" moms - who will stop at virtually nothing to push their child into the spotlight - it's so nice to know there are moms like Jane who teach their children to respect all people, regardless of their age, appearance or status in life. I love the advice Jane gave Nick throughout his life. So much of it is the same advice I give my own daughter (who also happens to be an aspiring singer). Jane, if you are reading this, I just want to thank you for reaffirming what I've been trying to teach my daughter. Just as you did with Nick, I try to instill in my daughter to be true to herself and hold on to her dreams of performing throughout the disappointments, because singing is so much a part of her. However, being a teenager she doesn't always believe what I tell her, but she does listen to you. (I've been quoting you to her a lot lately.) Because you raised the person she idolizes most, your advice is truly meaningful to her. I only wish we could talk to you personally. I really could use more of you insightful parenting tips (and so could my daughter). Thanks for writing such a wonderfully inspiring book. I hope a lot more moms read it.
