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.

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.

Says It All. Advantages: Honest, compelling and good natured. Disadvantages: Very sad in places. I decided to read this book because i was curious to see what a 23 year old could possibly have to say about her life that fills a whole book. It cannot be denied that Billie Piper has done more in her time than most of her age, but it was not until i read this book that i understood just how much. I am not old enough to remember her as a popstar, infact the first i knew of her was in doctor who, but this book offers an incredibly honest and compelling ... ...with Billie, and the book made me laugh and cry in places. This book tells the story of an ordinary girl who was thrown in at the deep end and struggled to resurface for a long time. It is incredibly moving and i now understand why so many young celebrities end up in rehab. The book also contains a lot of pictures which enhance the experience, and just go to show that as long as you keep smiling, nobody suspects trouble. ... charrrd 09.09.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Growing Pains - Billie Piper	Degree of Information How easy was it to read...

KGB uniforms, inflatable dinosaurs, and mine's a pint of brandy Advantages: Extremely funny much of the time, but it has its poignant side Disadvantages: Your partner might find it difficult to concentrate while you're roaring with laughter at it Keyboard player Rick Wakeman wrote and published a more conventional autobiography, Say Yes! in 1985. It has so far never been updated, and is long out of print. This volume, written with the aid of ghost-writer Martin Roach, takes a totally different approach. It is a selection of episodes from his sixty years in more or less random order. In theory it might seem rather disjointed, but in practice it works brilliantly. As a trained classical musician ... ...British progressive rock, and who has toured most of the world, drinking it dry when given half a chance, he has some very funny tales to tell. How did he get the sound of a waterfall for one of his albums, long before the days of electronic sampling made it all too easy? Who was that irritating man he once threw off stage for interrupting his keyboard solo, only to find he was not just a crazed fan but also one of the world's most famous artists? ...
