Book Reviews of Burning Up: On Tour with the Jonas Brothers
Book Review: Burning Up or Burned Out?
Summary: 5 Stars
In the mood for some light reading, I picked up Burning Up: On Tour with the Jonas Brothers. The book covers the highlight of the bands career in 2007. When it was first sold at Wal-Mart you would have had to pay the full $21.99 for it, but now in 2011 my sister found the same book for a flat rate of $3.00. Good deal. I had expected the book to contain nothing but pictures, but I was surprised to find legitimate bio pieces. Joe and Nick Jonas had plenty of background information of themselves, while Kevin Jonas lacked a lot of detail. From what I read I can conclude that Joe Jonas is my favorite Jonas brother. The brothers mention playing at the Texas State Fair. It seems as though all artists are overwhelmed or surprised when they come to perform in Texas. Always expect a big crowd from Texas. Expect the heat as well, especially in the summer. Then the Brothers mention their memorable performance at the American Music Awards. I don't guilt Joe for falling. It was inevitable. The special plate glass prop was never done before and was a new concept to perform with. He handled the situation well when he got back up. Throughout the book, sleep seems to be scarce or greatly appreciated by the band. I can only imagine how tiresome being on tour is. Aside from touring they have to attend interviews, talk shows, and parades. These events always take place early in the morning. They participated in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade twice. I'm surprised the book hardly mentions the band's mother. There is a brief paragraph where Joe says his mother tells him to put on his jacket because of the cold weather. Joe disobeys his mother and removes the jacket because he rather look good for pictures. Tut-Tut. The brothers visited the White House when it was under the Bush Administration. Not a lot is mentioned of the events and there wasn't a picture with President Bush anywhere. There are a lot of good photo stills exhibiting the band's talent of acrobatic type moves on stage. There is also a section on the band's music writing process and what they do to get prepared for the stage. The Jonas Brothers are very humble when talking about fans. They even talk about Jonas family dynamics and how they put their family above all else. The fame did not stray their relationship. The book ends with a description of their last concert of their tour in Rutherford, New Jersey. "We had truly achieved a moment in our career that could never be duplicated or repeated. That night in New Jersey was the end of our tour..." stated the brothers. I'm actually sad that the possibility of the Jonas Brothers ever getting together for a tour again is unlikely. I foresaw the permanent end of the band's career when Kevin Jonas got married. My personal opinion is that Kevin got married too young, but I assume that the band wouldn't have continued to produce music anymore anyway, and probably used the marriage as a justification for discontinuing. Anyhow, they were very successful during their run and I enjoyed watching them over the course of their career. I hope to hear of the Jonas Brothers again soon.
