NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In Every Little Step, Brown will for the first time tell the full story of his life and set the record straight, particularly about his relationship with Whitney Houston.
Bobby Brown has been one of the most compelling American artists of the past thirty years, a magnetic and talented figure who successfully crossed over many musical genres, including R&B and hip hop, as well as the mainstream. In the late 1980s, the former front man of New Edition had a wildly successful solo career—especially with the launch of Don't Be Cruel—garnering multiple hits on the Billboard top ten list, as well as several Grammy, American Music, and Soul Train awards. But Brown put his career on hold to be with the woman he loved—American music royalty Whitney Houston. The marriage between Brown and Houston was perhaps the most closely watched and talked about marriage of the 1990s—a pairing that obsessed the public and the gossip industry. Now, for the first time, the world will be able to hear the truth from the mouth of America’s “bad boy” himself. Raw and powerful, Every Little Step is the story of a man who has been on the top of the mountain and in the depths of the valley and who is now finally ready to talk about his career and family life, from the passion and the excess to his creative inspirations and massive musical success.
On the process of writing this book, Bobby says, “Right after I signed on to write my story, I went through one of the most agonizing traumas I had ever experienced with the death of my daughter. But I was surprised by how therapeutic it was to work on this project, to look at the entire arc of my life and to realize that although there has been considerable pain, I have also been incredibly blessed. I hope my fans and other readers of this book will be entertained by this trip into the crazy, exciting, fascinating world of Bobby Brown. And I hope they will feel that I have been as honest and open with them in these pages as I have tried to be my entire life.”

The Real Bobby Brown

This book was wonderful, it gave me a different look at the music business. A view of Bobby's true self not just what the Media portrays. HE IS A HUMAN BEING THAT DESERVES TO BE RESPECTED AS WELL AS LOVED.

Every little step-Bobby brown

What an appropriate title
For this book! Initially i was very concerned about him spilling the tea about his encounters and relationships with celebrities-especially discussing his marriage with Whitney.... Some things should not be disclosed. Nevertheless, it made for a good and interesting read. The book discusses every step from childhood until now and some relationships/friendships that changed his life. He realizes now that he should've had someone in his camp to help guide him
As well as assist with his finances. And yes, I do believe 98 percent of this book and it confirmed a lot of the rumors that fans have heard before. Bobby and Whitney were indeed kindred spirits. Clive Davis created whitney's image, but she was so far removed from that. In actuality, she was simply a dressed up home girl from Newark New Jersey.
With all the deaths that Bobby has faced, I wish him nothing but happiness in the years to come.
If you're looking for a good read, pick this book up. You will enjoy it.

This book was true to what I know of Bobby Brown. Some of his stories were so outlandishly hilarious that they bordered on sounding completely unreal. However, when one considers the source, you can kind of assume he's not lying. There was triumph, tragedy, and lots of interesting tidbits. I've always wondered why Bobby kept silent for so long. Perhaps for the sake of his late wife and his late daughter? He certainly told his side of things with this memoir.

Just wow!!!
Bobby let it all out in this book. It was great to get to know him on a personal level. He told it all. He discussed his loves, his fears, the drug use, his marriage and his lost. Say what you want about Bobby, he without a doubt has made many mistakes but he is just a man trying to make it through life. This book left me with a strong admiration for his strength through his many struggles, losing Whitney and the ultimate heartache of losing his child. I'm rooting for him and hoping...more

I'll admit, I am an incorrigible fan of biographies, but I've discovered that biographies are usually one of two things: profound hits or astronomical misses; often filled with so much fluff the story gets lost in loads of overzealous and gregarious bull. So when a copy of Every Little Step was made available to me, I was excitedly hesitant. I questioned whether I'd even read this book, after all, I knew this story. In fact, the entire world knew this often sordid, perhaps morbid, story. For ove...more

giving this 3.5 stars ~ it was entertaining! So the question is....who should read this book?? Fans of Bobby Brown. I grew up in the New Edition/Bobby Brown era. My friends and I knew all the dance moves from the Every Little step video >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0FKz... <<<< just went and watched it and that was a trip down memory lane!
Anyway - my opinion on this book...it was only written so Bobby could tell his side of the Whitney Houston and Bobbi Kristina sto...more

This was an interesting read, and a fast one, but I felt like there was information missing and incomplete. He was very honest about his failures and successes, which I appreciated. I would have liked to have read more about New Edition, especially his life-long friendship with Ralph Tresvant, but those years were shortchanged so he could spend several chapters trashing Whitney Houston and her family. The interludes from his children, family, and friends were a nice touch.

Bobby Brown as a person never impressed me much, he was simply a man married to Whitney Houston. To my surprise, I was shocked with the misconceptions about him as a person, he had to endure a lot to be seen in the public eye at the age of 14. Now I am aware that he was in a vocal group, New Edition but honestly never really had interest to hear any of his music. Mainly because I never knew much about him to determine whether his music appealed to me or not. Back to the review, this really chang...more

I started out with the audio version of this book and 2 minutes and 35 seconds in, I said out loud to myself....'what in the hell were they thinking?' I felt like Bobby was not the best choice to read his story, but then I thought about it. It's HIS story....whom better to tell it. So after getting over my snobbish reaction to his unedited reading skills, I was floored. I really didn't know much about Bobby Brown (outside of his music), but like the majority of the world, I credited him with Whi...more

I am going to be real I didn't think I would like this book but I really enjoyed it. It was written as if you were hanging out with Bobby and he was telling you about different things that happened in his life. Bobby Brown is a character which I think made this book that much better to read. Do I believe everything in the book??? I don't know but I didn't live the life he did and it is his perspective of how things were. I would definitely recommend this book though.

What a life!! Great book, and so glad Bobby Brown finally put his story out!

I really enjoyed how well this book was put together. It was as if Bobby Brown was having a conversation with his readers. Its was filled with laughter and pain. I recommend to fans.

Any music fan can probably tell you a story about how they first fell in love with music. For me, it was 1988. I was nine years old and my music collection was comprised of four cassettes: Purple Rain, Thriller, Bad, and 'Weird Al' Yankovic in 3-D. I enjoyed each of these albums and many of their songs, but I hadn't fallen in love. Then I heard “My Prerogative” on the radio. It wasn't that exact moment that I became a die-hard fan of Bobby Brown, but I was certainly headed that way. Within month...more

I really enjoyed this surprisingly..... he tells his life story which was really interesting. How he started the group, all the money he made, going out on his own, the relationships with his band members, relationships with women, marriage to Whitney Houston...... I would def recommend this book.

INTRO: This book is NOT appropriate for children. He glorifies drugs, alcohol and illicit sex with no remorse or maturity.
BAD: A financial ripoff! It's over 330 pages. But after nearly every chapter there is a 'pro-Bobby essay' from his relatives, friends and music colleagues. One of the essays (10 pages) is written by his former mistress (now wife). Then there's a lot of very negative stuff about Whitney, of course. The remainder of the text is 1.5 spaced instead of single-spaced, thus increas...more

This reads like Bobby wrote it himself . . . in a not so good way. It was written with a co-author, who does a lot of these as-told-to books, but it doesn't seem like he's done much here other than present (very) lightly edited transcripts of interviews. It's also padded out quite a bit with interviews with other random people in Bobby's life, including his brother, some of his kids and Ralph Tresvant.
There's a huge emphasis on gossip, particularly as it relates to the deaths of Whitney and Bobb...more

Bobby Brown tells his side of the story, how Whitney introduced him to cocaine, how he made the decision to get off of drugs and how he tried to get Whitney to stop. How he wished he had been a better father to Bobbi Christina and ultimately how he remarried and found the love and peace he had been looking for. Read: September 2016

I was hoping to get more in depth stories about his New Edition days and solo career, but that part felt glossed over to spend more time on his drama days with Whitney. Probably what other people want in this bio, but not me.

I enjoyed this book. The only problem I had with it is that I listened to it on audio....for some reason Bobby sounded like this was his first time reading the book.... his reading wasn't fluid, it was choppy like he had to read each word 1 by 1, like he was sounding the word out.

This book was actually way better than I anticipated it to be. I have a new found respect for Bobby after reading this.

Every Little Step

I'll be the first to admit that I've always viewed Bobby Brown as a over the top jerk who acts without thinking and could care less about anyone else. After I finished reading his biography, however, I realize that he is an actual person who have managed to survive and thrive despite being faced with tragedy.
Throughout the course of the book, the reader is given a front row seat to Bobby's childhood as well as the start of his music career, his role as a member of New Edition and his eventual s...more

Bobby was a bubble ready to burst! I'm glad he finally had the opportunity to share it. Believe me, he has no cut cards in this book. He seemed very honest about his tough upbringing in Boston, and being with the group New Edition. He shares his side about his marriages to Whitney Houston and his current wife, and he doesn't hold back about the baby mama drama he's experienced nor with his opinions about the entertainment industry's impact on his life. Having grown up with no guidance or role mo...more

So now I'm watching 'Being Bobby Brown' on YouTube because of this book...I swear all deadbeat dads must have a manual or something...because they all say the same exact things...it's amazing how NOTHING is ever their fault...anyways...it was entertaining at parts, definitely fun to read aloud to other people (especially the ghost sex part)...I still can't believe his co-writer won a Pulitzer because the organization and writing were not that good :/

Shelves: hardcover, library, biography, eeeeeeeeeeee, 2016

This book was moderately interesting because of Whitney Houston and, by extension, Bobbi Kristina. Bobby Brown made one good album in the 1980s. He's made a lot of mistakes. I suspect he's a narcissist, and that's my armchair diagnosis. What I do know is that he's a windbag.
Read this if you really loved Whitney Houston.

He's a bit whiney in telling the story of his life. I listened to the audio book and the cadence of the reading threw me off. I had to increase the speed. It was good to hear his side of the Whitney and Bobby Christina stories. There is always more behind what the media will tell.

Like I expected Bobby Brown painted himself to be the good guy and trying to justify sh*t when it happend. Imo if he loved Whitney like he said he did he would've let Robyn stay around and not let his pride get in the way especially since he was 'the man'. He said himself if Robyn was still around Whitney would still be here, and I believe it, all those years and she hasn't exploited Whitney's legacy. I never was a fan of his but this book was an interesting, funny, shocking read. His solo fame...more

This is the story of a young man that grew up in Orchard Projects in Boston, Mass, found one of the most popular groups of the 90's (New Edition), had a very successful solo career, bedded plenty of women, married and divorced 'The Voice' Whitney Houston, struggled with an addiction, suffered plenty of loss, and is still here to talk about it.

I mean, I was only ten and I had just seen the police beat my mother in the face. From that moment on, I would harbor a serious dislike of the police.” — 0 likes
