One Direction: Five Lives is an intimate book of the lives of One Direction band members, Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis and Zayn. Showbiz writer, Jim Maloney, tells the band members’ stories from childhood to international stardom. Using interviews with friends, fans and those who have worked with them, he has written a rounded and unbiased book about their hopes, traumas and triumphs, the odd scandal and, most of all, the sheer exuberance of teenage dreams realised beyond all expectation. When they appeared on X-Factor in 2010, One Direction re-energised the boy band format at a stroke and have gone on to achieve mega stardom in less than four years. Their debut album Up All Night topped the charts in both the UK and the USA – something even The Beatles never achieved. Harry, Liam, Niall, Louis and Zayn rocketed to global stardom, triggering hysteria among female fans wherever they went, and securing a 2014 world stadium tour.

You may know that the U.K. pop group One Direction broke records when it hit the U.S. music scene. The singers' album Up All Night debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard charts. But did you know that: • the stars didn't know each other before getting their big break on The X Factor with Simon Cowell? • the band needed 100 security guards for its first performance in Dallas, Texas? • one of the band members has a fear of spoons? Want to know more about the group's singers—Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson? Read on to learn all about 1D's amazing rise to fame!

At first they were just five teenagers auditioning for Great Britain’s biggest singing competition, The X Factor. But when the five young men were eliminated from the competition, something amazing happened. Given a second chance to return to the competition as a group, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik joined together to form One Direction. Although they didn’t win The X Factor, One Direction achieved even more. They became one of the most popular bands in England and quickly turned into a phenomenon in the United States as well. From disappointment to triumph, follow the story of Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn as they delight their fans and take their career in One Direction—straight to the top!
