Buy it: Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS, now $38.50 (U.P. $64.95)

Fans are raving 

While the memoir is no doubt worth a read for the BTS Army, the reviews left on Amazon by fans are just as enthralling. In fact, these are some of the most in-depth and heartfelt reviews we've seen. Many of the lengthy, essay-like reviews don't just talk about the book, but also how BTS has impacted their lives. 

One reviewer, Elly. C, who's been a fan since 2014, shares how the book "documents their journey, the blood, sweat, and tears", but also how it'll help her spread the word about BTS. "[Nine] years being an ARMY for me and I am very sure that I will still be their ARMY when I'm 30, 40 and 50 years old. When I get married in March next year and have kids after, I will show this book to my kids and tell them about BTS. Because BTS made me who I am today too!" she wrote.

A fan who goes by roro wrote that "I want this buried with me", while  AthenaRose, shares how she appreciates the honesty in their stories, acknowledging the mental battles they faced during their ascent. "This book is filled with raw and honest stories... For as young as these men are and still are, they are to be commended," she wrote.

Even dedicated fans find new revelations beyond social media and vlogs. As another reviewer, peanutg, puts it, "Even ARMY members will discover a LOT of personal information about each member's experiences over the years – that they CANNOT find anywhere else."
