Larger Than Life: A History of Boy Bands from NKOTB to BTS by Maria Sherman

funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced

While the humor didn't always land for me, I still found this book to be generally enjoyable. However, I'm disappointed that New Edition did not get their own dedicated chapter and that B2K was only briefly mentioned. The author states that New Edition was the blueprint for KNOTB and that KNOTB was the blueprint for the bands that followed, so then why not fully delve into that? I also found the section on k-pop and BTS to be lacking with a few of the words/phrases poorly defined (ex: maknae is initially introduced as meaning "the cute one").
