The reality of Michael Jackson's life
Advantages: Very comprehensive and informing. Disadvantages: over 700 pages!!!
...through decades of thinking that Michael led an awe inspiring and wonderful life.
Personally after reading his life story I wouldn't have wanted one day of his life, not as a child or an adult, and he must have been so lonely.
His life as a Jehovah's Witness must have been so difficult to be involved in a normal way with people of the same beliefs....his total lack of sexual desire was rated as almost abnormal or perhaps as homosexuality, but even ... ...are amazing. Its like being a camera in every aspect of his life on an ongoing basis. well well worth reading, and learning more about.
Michael may have died, but he knows he will be back, and his life will be so different next time round. Brilliant book. ...

My Story - Dave Pelzer : A true must read
Advantages: Opens you up to a new and harshly reaslistic reality. A book i will gladly get back! Disadvantages: At times has a surreal air around it. Very effective torture scenes.
...a trained writer, which, in my opinion, at times shows in the way he plotted his autobiography, he has, very successfully, managed to reach his audience in a very graphical way when descibing his, so called, mother's "sick games".
For the more sensitive readers:
Be warned of the very realistic approach taken to the book. It might be very hard to read at times,this coming from a fellow sensitive reader, since as I have already mentioned before, ...

moab is my washpot
Advantages: hilarious, informative, witty Disadvantages: none
This autobiography is an immensely enjoyable read. Stephen's early life was certainly troubled, but makes for fascinating and hilarious reading- he writes about his first twenty years with a complete lack of whining or self-pity, and is unafraid to show the reader his own very grave failings. Fry's wit and candour make this book very difficult to put down - and is the best book i have read in a long while. His use of the english language is spellbinding, ...

Gary Barlow - 'My Take'
Advantages: A must for all Gary and Take That fans - even for Robbie fans, too! Disadvantages: None
I cannot add much to the other reviews. This is an excellent read, and a 'must' for all Gary and Take That fans. Here we see the truly sensitive side of a man who was treated mercilessly by the tabloid press, especially when Robbie had his 'big break' with 'Angels' and other massive hits.
This is a book written from the heart, by an intelligent, caring and loveable family man, who also happens to be one of the greatest singer/songwriters around.
... ...really brings it home to the reader about how bad the current times are. There is no doubt that Gary's life was greatly influenced by this.
It's great that the acrimony between Gary and Robbie seems to have evaporated.
I can well recommend this, as a great read.
Looking forward to the new album, later this year.

The story of Rice
Advantages: great read, attractive, useful Disadvantages: pricey
...as I had just finished my book I had to read for English and now had the time to actually read for pleasure. Though, I didn't know what book I was in the mood for. After what seemed like hours of searching, I was about to leave empty handed, when something caught my eye. The baby pink spine of a book shone out at me from the shelf. What book was it? I had no idea, but I found myself walking closer towards what I discovered was the 'biographies' section. ... ...made sense. "Myleene Klass - My Bump and Me" - this was Myleene's baby diaries!
Myleene Klass is a multi-talented woman of the media; she is loved for her TV and Radio Presenting, music and singing. She first came into the light when she starred on ITV show 'Popstars' in 2001, winning a place in the band Hear'Say. Though the band collapsed after their successful period, and Myleene continued to move on in the world. Since then she has appeared on ...
