A great insight from an iconic footballer

Advantages: Great range of topics dealt with honestly and professionally
Disadvantages: Probably premature, to the point where a second autobiography is likely at some point

Steven Gerrard is one of the most iconic footballers of the current generation. He is very much a player capable of playing a number of roles on the pitch, possessing great tackling and passing ability, a vicious shot, and great athleticism. A local Liverpool lad, he joined the Liverpool FC youth setup at an early age. He rose steadily through the ranks and broke into the Liverpool first team in 1999. He was made captain of the club in 2003 and is ...
...as one of the best footballers in the world, he has made over 450 appearances for Liverpool and scored over 100 goals.

He was voted the PFA Young Player of the Year in 2001, and was voted Player of the Year in 2006. He was voted the Champions League most valuable player for the 2005 campaign after Liverpool won the trophy for the fifth time, ...

Unbeaten is the best autobiography i have read!!

Advantages: excellent read, totally honest and thoroughly intresting.
Disadvantages: quite hardhitting. not at all a lighthearted read.

I have always had a soft spot for Kim woodburn. I think that on her programme How clean is your house she comes across as a larger than life, fun and interesting character. So when i heard that she had brought out her autobiography i decided that i must go out and buy it. As soon as i started the book i knew that i had had it for the next few hours because in my opinion when you pick this book up you simply cannot put it down. Kim was brutally honest ...
...mother and also the brutality she suffered in a volatile and violent relationship. She reveals with great bravery in the book details of a past event that she had buried deep in her mind for years and in my opinion it is impossible to read this without feeling emotional. I loved the way in which the book was written, it was very easy to read and flowed nicely. In some autobiographies you are willing the writer to move on to the next stage of their ...

* What You Already Know! *

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: Boring , Heard It All Before , Nothing New!

...and acting mature was probably all a publicity stunt. However , I forgot that Pete had his own autobiography and when I read something about his book I thought 'oh my god I havn't read it!' and so I went ahead and bought a copy. Peter Andre was born on February 1973 in Harrow , London, although his parents are Greek and he grew up in Australia. He first rose to fame on the Australian television show New Faces in 1990 and it was after that he became ...
...Morning. Peter Andre : All About Us - My Story is Peter's autobiography released on 18th June 2008. This book was published by John Blake Publishing LTD and is two hundred and eighty eight pages long. In this book Peter tells us of his journey. The book reveals a lot of details about Katie and Peter's marriage.

Girl with a many track mind reviews the seductress next door.

Advantages: Couldn't put it down...
Disadvantages: Not a sequel...

The first thing i guess i should say is that i am an extremely slow reader and it normally takes me months to read a book. However, this book took me just under two weeks to read. I felt that this is definately a book that i couldn't put down. The story line is simply brilllaint full of laughter and also extremely sexually explicit which is a great thing if you're in to the sort of Belle-de-Jour sort of book like a handful of women are. I would thoroughly ...
...definatley a pleasure book and will leave you rather excited in more ways than one. The only problem i have with this author is that she hasn't made another book like this. The tone of this book is seriously fun and definately flirty i would say that this is a great summer read however you don't want to be far away from a discrete area and iff you can make sure you're partner isn't too far away... ...
