Don't You Know Who I Am?: Insider Diaries of Fame, Power and Naked Ambition - Piers Morgan

The title of the book 'Don't you know who I am?' combined with Piers arrogant stance on the front cover suggests him to be of an egotistical nature with a book of who he knows rather than what he knows. It is a definite contrast to the words of the book, at times he is arrogant but the book speaks of a striking honesty about his hunger and struggle, to remain in the media industry, after public humiliation. As it is an autobiography it does not just ...
...and girlfriend (Celia) who he meets at the time of writing the book. The themes of love and family prevent it from becoming a one dimensional celebrity story book. He writes as a devoted father to his three sons, telling the readers about school tests and fathers sports days, which increases his likeability. He is not afraid to say when he is wrong which makes the book real and honest. The book is funny both for the stories themselves but also at ...

Review of Don't You Know Who I Am?: Insider Diaries of Fame, Power and Naked Ambition - Piers Morgan

== I absolutely loved this book!!! == I suppose the first thing you notice about the book is the excellent way in which it is written although I think this is rather expected from an ex newspaper editor. The book tells the story of Piers' career from being jobless (after editing the mirror) up until he carves out a new career as a "celebrity".

Did I mention its funny...I think its intended to be funny in certain places but I find his style of brutal honesty hilarious in places much in the way people like and find Simon Cowell funny for the same reason. I would definitely recommend you read this if you: *Want to know about the life of a former tabloid editor *want to know ...

Review of Don't You Know Who I Am?: Insider Diaries of Fame, Power and Naked Ambition - Piers Morgan

After watching multiple episodes of Britain's got talent, and quite enjoying the remarks made by Piers Morgan I decided to pick up one of his books. My brother had a copy 'Don't you know who I am?' so this was the obvious choice. The book consists of a number of diary entries around the time after his Mirror newspaper sacking, and evolves around his search for a new job, celebrity status and also I had no real idea of who Piers Morgan was except ...
...owing to a sacking. In this book Piers lifts the lid on his meeting with numerous celebrities ranging from top bench cabinet ministers to the likes of Gordon Ramsay and Sharon Osborne, all of which are thoroughly eventful. My favourite has to be his meeting with Sharon where he waits for her PR to go to the loo before asking her opinion of certain celebrities knowing that she would be more likely to slag them off without the PR present. Piers manages ...
