Yes, now I have been very lucky and have bought the book in the Norwegian version and I can say that you all should look forward to buying it in the English version too. It is just great and the c.d is also very great too. I think it is great there is a c.d together with the book, because it also tells a lot about the great guys too. Yes, I am listening to the c.d now and I have been reading about Morten and it is just so great to read about him. Yes, of course it is also great to read about Magne and Paul. But it is always about Morten, who makes me smile.

Unfortunately there is sometimes some Norwegian words I don’t right understand, but one more time it is just a very great book and a great c.d and I am very happy to have bought it and I have much more to read about the great guys.

The c.d is with :

- 1. “Take on me” (demo) – 2. “Presenting Lily Mars” – 3. “Dot The I” – 4. “Days On End” – 5. “The Love Goodbye” – 6. “Monday Mouring ” – 7. “Never Never” – 8. “Så blåser det på jorden” – 9. “Go To Sleep” – 10.”Hunting High and Low” – 11.”I’ve Been Losing You” – 12.”The Swings Of Things”

BUT IT DON’T STOP THERE NO. If you just wait a minute. There is one more surprise song.

AND THERE IS MORE. Almost between every song there is some small great surprises.

In the book Morten and Paul tell about the songs.

Yes, the songs we all know are just great, just in another version and some old demo songs I think some of you have heard before and also the songs we never have heard before are just so great too.

Yes. I especially like “Presenting Lily Mars” and “Så blåser det på jorden” and “Never Never” very much. They are just so great, but of course “Monday Mouring” and “Days On End” are just great too and Morten just sings them so lovely like always.

Yes, one more time. All songs are just so great and Morten sings so lovely like always. Yes, you are just doing a great job with your great voice, Morten.

Morten says “The Swing Of Things” is his favourite song to sing live and that he always liked it and that this version of the song is great.

Now the pictures :

There are many great pictures both old and new with the great guys together and alone. Some you have seen before and some you haven’t seen before. Yes, there is great wallpaper with pictures from the different great music videoes, old and new ones.

Yes, and then is there what I would call “The jealous pictures.” Yes, it is pictures where girls have been lucky to have met Morten and get pictures together with him and get some hugs too. YES. THEY ARE VERY LUCKY GIRLS. I will always respect him and his private life. BUT. Yes, I would also very much like to be very lucky to meet Morten and talk with him and thank him for everything, for all the joy he has given me and get a picture and give him a very big hug and wish him all the best happiness.

Yes, my favourite picture in the book is the picture where Morten is together with Jan his healer. Because I think it is so great that Morten has a healer to help him and he just looks so relaxed and that is just so great. But there are also some more great pictures with Morten in the forest and working on the cottage and also a lot of great pictures with Magne and Paul too.

Morten has given 4 pictures and Magne and Paul have given a lot of pictures to the book.

Yes, and the text. Yes, look forward to reading it. I can just say what I have read for now. Yes, especially about Morten is just great, and I am looking forward to reading the rest too.

Yes, one of my favourite lines I have read is the one of Morten’s friends who said “That he has a very big heart,” but there is a lot more great things about Morten and about Magne and Paul too.

I think Jan Omdahl has done a GREAT job with the book. Where he has told about the start of a-ha and everything what have happen with 3 Norwegian great guys.

The back side of the book has Morten, Magne and Paul saying something about the book and about what it is to be a-ha.

Yes, in the end of the book there is information about how many hits they have had in different countries and where they have been touring.

Yes, the frontpage with the monkeys. Yes, I think the monkeys are very sweet. I like monkeys, but it is maybe also a reason for this frontpage, because inside the book there a clip form a Norwegian newspaper, where they say that they feel like monkeys in a cage. I can also see or understand what they mean. Yes, it should be Magne, who have made the frontpage.

Take good care and buy the book. Okay and enjoy it as much as I do.
