In his second book, Bieber gives fans a "personal backstage pass to my world": an earnest, disorganized glimpse into the eighteen-year-old's life as a superstar. "Beliebers" will be gratified by the effusive thanks Bieber gives them, but they'll be most interested in the multitude of photos of the artist singing, posing with family and fans, and goofing off like a regular kid.

With profuse thanks to fans, Bieber somewhat circuitously describes his rise to fame, from happy childhood in Ontario to YouTube popularity to record deal to his (heavily promoted) "My World" tour. The text delivers some clichéd advice, but the sixteen-year-old's humility and goofiness are apparent. Numerous current photos, both staged and candid, are likely to be most enticing to fans.
