Default Bon Jovi Books

I have two questions that I need help with for a school paper.

1) I know Bon Jovi has not released an official book but are there any worth reading?

2) If so, do they talk about the band's charity work?

..I read a book called "Star Man"..(I think). It was written by an english guy that was Jon's minder... It's a bit tittle tattly...some funny stories tho.

I don't remember anything about charitable involvement...Jon was too busy being just a rock star in those days

I read a biography that must have been written about These Days time, hired it from the library but can't remember the author. It was quite good, talked about some of the stuff an official book wouldn't, like the rumours that Alec was fired because his playing had deteriorated. It was a good read, didn't really mention any charity stuff though.

I have one book that I stole from the library... I dont remember what it was called but I think it was written by Mick Wall(at the moment I dont know where I have it). It was a info up to these days and he wrote a lot about every song on the albums... I dont remember if it was any good but I do remember that he got some facts wrong about some songs.
