    About this ebook

    After skyrocketing to fame with their hit single "Uh Huh," B2K seemed to have it all. But barely two years later the four friends succumbed to a rift so deep that three of them stopped showing up for sold-out shows. Lead singer Omari Grandberry was left with the intimidating prospect of facing their fans alone.

    In this intimate memoir, Omarion chronicles his Los Angeles childhood, how B2K came together, the ups and downs of instant brotherhood, the struggles of making it in entertainment, what really happened in the final days of B2K, and what's next for him -- including starring in
    the Fat Albert movie, and more. Here is the story of a boy with the gift of song and dance raised in some of L.A.'s toughest neighborhoods, and how he ditched his "underage thug" complex to
    pursue his dream. Along the way, Omarion shares a more personal side, including his deep respect for the women who raised him and the roots of his spiritual foundation.

    In O, he once again takes center stage, revealing himself to be a thoughtful, funny, multifaceted artist with the talent and drive to make it on his own.

      What a trainwreck. A bad gimmick, with leaden writing, about events which are paltry distortions of facts, boring talking-head characters, lousy political propaganda, and nothing happens. Why do I push myself to suffer through these terrible books when I have 2000 on my to-read list?

      I gave the book 1/2 star because I couldn't give it negative stars. For me, this thing was a foolish waste of time. I had hoped that the "insider" author would give us some insights into O and who and what he stands for, but you won't find much of that here. If you're reading this book to find out what makes O tick, forget it. What the author has to say is strangely sycophantic, as if he's hoping not to hurt anyone's feelings. The author has O swearing occasionally and smoking 3 cigarettes a day. That's about as much depth is you will find about the man in this book. "The Wife" is MIA, except for a couple of approving mentions. The one thing I found to be hilarious: the author made O a viable candidate for the 2012 election by giving the country a 6% unemployment rate. Even then, the election was up in the air and not looking good for O's team. What was the point of this book? Why did anonymous write this thing? Honestly, I have no idea. I was annoyed with myself for wasting my time with this book.

      O is set during the 2012 Presidential Campaign. While the book does provide some insight in the how the campaign works; it doesn't really give much of an insight into "O". The end seemed a little abrupt, and left me wondering what the purpose for writing the book was.
