Thank you to NetGalley and Gemini Books Group for the chance to read this!
I wouldn’t call myself the biggest Harry Styles fan, but I’ve always enjoyed music behind-the-scenes stories and seeing how artists grow. Watching Harry’s last tour on TikTok gave me a new appreciation for him, and this book was a great way to dive deeper into his career.
The book does a really good job of walking through his journey—from One Direction to becoming a solo artist. It highlights how he’s shaped his music, style, and even acting career. I liked learning about his influences, his bold fashion choices, and how he’s become such a unique figure in pop culture.
If you’re a fan or just curious about Harry and his rise as an artist, this book is an easy, enjoyable read with lots of cool details. Definitely worth checking out!
If you're a Harry Styles fan (or just curious about what makes him a pop culture phenomenon), this is a must-read. It’s a vibrant celebration of everything that makes Harry, well, Harry—from his Grammy-winning music and eclectic influences to his boundary-pushing fashion sense (remember that iconic Gucci dress on *Vogue*?). The book also dives into his acting gigs, his philosophy of kindness, and the way he’s connected with fans worldwide. It’s a colorful ode to a modern icon who’s redefined what it means to be a pop star today.
Thank you for this copy! I loved this book. As a fan of 1D and of Harry I loved it. I have not kept up with his personal life and music a ton in the past few years so this was all new to me but very interesting!
I am a fan of Harry Styles, but not a hardcore fan who knows everything about his life, so this gave me insights about his life that I didn't know before.
The pictures and pages were also stunning. The only thing that bothered me was that some sentences were cut in half and only continued a few pages later.
I'm an older Harry Styles fan, so this was a fun book for me. It covers his history and career development, and he seems like a wonderful son and godfather. I learned more about his friendships, and I think it's wonderful that he's open to other genres and age groups for inspiration. Of course, there's a lot about his unique style, which changes a lot as he tries new things. The pictures are great, and I could have enjoyed the book just looking at them.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
Annie Zaleski’s biography of Harry Styles is a heartfelt exploration of the pop sensation’s journey from boy-band fame to solo stardom. Zaleski digs into the nuances of Styles' artistry, his genre-defying music, and his boundary-pushing style. Her writing is both engaging and insightful, capturing not only the star’s evolution but also the cultural impact he has had on fans and the music world alike. By weaving interviews, analyses of his albums, and personal anecdotes, Zaleski paints a vivid picture of a multi-dimensional artist who is as thoughtful as he is talented. A must-read for fans and newcomers alike!
Harry Styles by Annie Zaleski is a great book if you are a fan of Harry Styles.....I have a confession I am over 50 and I am a fan. So this was a joy to read especially as it had great photo's of Harry and beautifully Illustrated throughout.
This is a book for a fan and would look great sitting on your bedside table or a coffee table. A show off book,
I can't help my love for 1D and Harry. I have been a fan since I heard their first single (thanks to my daughter who introduced me). I had been looking for a Harry book for a while. This book is for the Harry fan, it has positive text, great photos, and would be a fan favorite. I think I need to buy it for my daughter :)
I have been a fan of Harry since Up All Night came out. I’ve seen him in concert multiple times, both as a solo artist and in One Direction. This book made my fan girl heart happy. It shows you so much about him. You get to see his life as a musician, acting, and a lot of his fashion style. Anyone who is a fan of him or wants to become one should check out this book.
I found it really hard to read this book on my phone, it is a coffee table book with some cool facts (I liked his song writing facts) and some great photography.
I can’t tell if it’s good or bad timing with what’s going on in the world but I hope to see this book in the shop so I can flick through it properly!
Thank you NetGalley for letting me read and review.
I LOVE HARRY STYLES! This book gives a look into Harry's life and career - bits of his childhood, a lot of the X Factor and One Direction era, and now his solo era. It also has a section on his acting career, his impact on fashion, and his line "pleasing." The book includes great photos of Harry over the years as well.
This is a great book for any Harry Styles fans (and would be great for a coffee table!)
I learned so much about Harry that I didn't know before, as a newer fan (and not necessarily a One Direction fan). For example, I didn't know how deep his friendship is with Stevie Nicks. I also learned a lot about my favorite songs and albums, for example his influences, and the order and way that songs were written for Harry's House.
Any Harry Styles fan in your life will enjoy!
