I already knew I was going to devour this book just because it's pure nostalgia for me. Still, I was a bit worried that it wouldn't necessarily be an easy read, but I'm happy to report that this book is really well-written and easily digestible! I was also worried this might be a total gossip cash grab but no, this book stayed true to it's name and truly does take you through the life of the Disney Channel from beginning to end, with some focus on the bigger stars like Shia LaBeouf, Miley Cyrus, Raven Simone, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. I haven't seen all of the iconic Disney Channel shows or DComs but, I do vividly remember loving Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montanna when I was a kid so of course I loved the chapters on those shows, but I also found the other sections on stars or shows I knew next to nothing about to be really informative and interesting. My attention was not lost for a single second of this book and I highly recommend it!
