How do you get your favorite author to review your book?

I am writing a book, and I want to have one of my favorite authors review it. Any idea how I can do it. The authors I'm thinking about are Obert Skye, Hilari Bel, Jane Johnson, Stuart Hill, or Chris D'Lacey. Please Help!
I can get my book published, ask them to review it, and then publish their reviews on a sequel. Is it still possible?
 
Robin is right. Many authors barely have time to reply to all of their email, much less read someone's unpublished manuscript. But many of them also just have a policy of not reading work, to avoid potential complications down the line-- for example, someone later accusing them of stealing an idea from the book they asked the author to read. Even if they author didn't (they wouldn't do that), and even if the similarities are extremely vague, it's still a hassle. But the main reason is that there's just not enough time.
 
They likely wont. They have lives and probably hundreds of people asking them to review their work. And lots of authors purposely say to not send them your drafts, because they don't have the time to review them. They have to answer fan comments all the time, so unwanted drafts probably just get deleted.
