Full review
I don't know why but I really like reading famous peoples autobiographies mainly women's. Don't ask me why because afterwards your always left thinking why did I ever bother? Once I have read and reviewed a book I always put it on eBay anyway and can usually get a good percentage back on what I have spent so I am not too bothered if the book turns out to be really bad. However Jordan's new autobiography A whole new world is very different. I read the first book she released being Jordan on the 1st of July 2005. Which I thought was cut quite short and wondered were the most up to date stuff was but thought it was probably wrote a while ago and there was not enough time to add these things. How wrong could I and most Jordan's fans have been! She was only planning on making a small fortune from us sados who actually took the time to read her book. She released her 2nd autobiography not far off 6 months after on the 26th of January 2006. What a cheek she releases half of her life story at a nice total of aprox £16 per book and then catapults the next quarter at the same price 6 months later what a nice little earner.
Ok I know what you are all saying right now why did she bother buying the 2nd book if she was so annoyed. Well I am a sado indeed after reading the 1st book I wanted to read about the whole jungle and Peter Andre thing. The first book was good because it told you things that you did not already know and it was what we all expected. The second book told us nothing we did not know already which was a huge disappointment. The book is all about Peter Andre and how much she is in love with him. Big yawn! From start to finish all you hear about is Peter, Peter oh and a bit more Peter I don't know how this book can even be called Jordan's autobiography it is more like a love story about Peter Andre and should be available in the Mills and Boon selection.
THE LAYOUT OF THE BOOK
The book was designed exactly the same as the first but just with different pictures. This did not surprise me in the slightest after all while go to all that bother when you are out to make the most money out of the least effort.
The book is a hardback with a serious picture of Katie price on the front and a glamour shot of Jordan on the back. Once you enter the book you are faced with the acknowledgements page and then the contents. You also get the 4 sections of photos of Jordan memories but they do not always tie in with the chapters but are quite nice to look at anyway, mainly because most of them are wedding or baby pics. You are then thrown into the chapters of Jordan's most recent memories.
CHAPTER 1 AGAINST ALL ODDS This is the first and may as well be the final chapter it even begins with a fake dream which you know is an absolute tale and you just know that your in for a very annoying read. The chapter consists of the whole just come out of the jungle and the struggle to get together with Peter Andre.
CHAPTER 2 A WOMAN IN LOVE Chapter title pretty much speaks for itself. Jordan and Pete together and a whole 7 double sided pages to tell us this and how different it is to any other relationship.
CHAPTER 3 CHANGES First quarter of a chapter, which talks about Katie Price. The girl the managers wanted to promote not Jordan! Then back again ¾ quarters of yet another chapter about going out with Peter and the changes she has gone through for him.
CHAPTER 4 HARVEY This is one of the saddest chapters in the book and one of the most serious things Jordan has to talk about. The chapter describes life with Harvey and his illness and some in depth knowledge into what is actually wrong with him. Some cute photos too.
CHAPTER 5 MEET THE PARENTS Another obvious chapter this is all about every girl's worst nightmare meeting your boyfriend's religious parents. In this chapter she talks about the first ever meeting and tells us about His parents.
CHAPTER 6 THE EX FACTOR The biggest insecure chapter in here ok we all have doubts about our boyfriends but does the famous Jordan? Ha of course she does she is probably the worst out there and to be honest with a man like Pete you cannot blame her. If you have read this book or plan on reading this check this chapter out it tells you all about Peters ex's and believe me there are a lot of them.
CHAPTER 7 WHOS THE DADDY? No this chapter is not about the paternity of little Junior!! Lol This is another short little chapter about Harvey but this time it also tells us more about his relationship or should I say non-relationship with Dwight his father. The chapter is not a huge let be mean about Dwight it gives you a good insight into him being a dad and it has good and bad points.
CHAPTER 8 A PROPOSAL This is a chapter you think gosh I wish I was rich and I wish I were going out with some rich smoothie. This chapter is all about Peter popping the big or in Jordan's life the huge question. I won't go into detail about the whole thing but wow how romantic!
CHAPTER 9 DOSH and PECS Great title for the chapter shame the chapter is actually about nothing and is really just a page filler. Some bits about the Eurovision talks and then some detail about Jordan going on tour with Peter and them going on holiday. This is probably the most meaningless chapter in the whole book.
CHAPTER 10 OUR BIG SECRET Yep you guessed it. This is the chapter where Jordan finds out she is pregnant. This is all about her going to work trying to hide the pregnancy and trying to keep it from the whole world including their family. This chapter also talks about the dreaded cruise that was in all the papers when her and her mum were meant to be having huge rows. Whether there was or not I have no idea as the book only touches on this very slightly then veers off so maybe the papers were right.
CHAPTER 11 NOT JUST ANYBODY This is a huge chapter on the Eurovision song contest. I think in a way she is trying to justify the whole thing by making out she was made to do it and she knew she was not going to win anyway. At least she got that off her chest in writing not that anyone believes it for a second.
CHAPTER 12 GREAT EXPECTATIONS This chapter talks about the stages of Jordan's pregnancy and has a very long part on an argument she has with Pete about the baby to be's name. In the chapter is also included a holiday in Venice and some doctors appointments about little Junior. The chapter then continues on to let us know the whole stressful situation when there was problems with the birth and how Jordan just wanted to get it over and done with. I thought this chapter should have been split as the firs part was very boring and much of a space filler and the second half were a lot more serious.
CHAPTER 13 HELLO JUNIOR! This is the chapter about little Junior being born into the world via the Portland hospital. Jordan then goes on to tell us about all the visitors they received and how stressed she was getting and found it really hard to bond with the baby.
CHAPTER 14 THE BLUES More on not being able to bond with the baby a whole 12 double pages about all the visitors they had and how she just could not bond with the baby. This chapter just goes on and on about the same thing and is really hard to not just throw the towel in right there because you just get really annoyed about the same subject. However I soldiered on and just made it to the end.
CHAPTER 15 WEDDING FEVER This is about the planning of the wedding the final plans and the hen weekend, which was not all, it cracked up to be. There was also some more reference to Petes ex's in the chapter and also more about the whole I can't bond with Junior thing. I know it is a touching and serious thing but to continue to go on about the same thing over 15 pages is really an exaggeration in anyone's eyes.
CHAPTER 16 A WHOLE NEW WORLD This is the final chapter and it shows us just however much you plan and however fairytale your wedding is the bride is not always as happy as can be. This tells you all about the wedding and also all about the dreaded magazine deal. The final part describes the dream honeymoon they went on after the wedding. This was by the far the longest chapter but it was very descriptive. None of it has not been heard before though they have filmed enough programmes about it now but it was nice to read. I am only saying that though because I love weddings.WHERE TO GET A COPY
Sorry if I have given you any doubts into getting this book but a lot of people need to read it to get it out of their system and then you have people with complete different tastes but if you would like to get a copy it will set you back now about £8. You can get it from all good online book companies. If you prefer to get a copy in the shops have a look in your local supermarkets for a good deal or in bookshops for a higher price. If you aren't bothered about reading a second hand book, which is in good condition, you can pick up a copy on eBay or Amazon from about £2 onwards.
CONCLUSION
To conclude I would just like to say in Jordan's defence that this book could not be any better than it is because of the time scale nothing much could have happened in 6 months to write an honest, gripping and exciting book. Whose idea this was I do not know but whoever it was should no it was not a very good one.
Overall I would say this book lacked any sort of meaning and became very repetitive and boring. You could never describe this book as one that you just could not put down. If anyone else was to write a book 6 months after their first I would never ever read it even if it was given to me, as it is just not worth it.
