...it a go, but The Difficult Second Book wasn't just difficult in title, it was also difficult to read. The book is described as an insight into the double life that Moyles lives. In the mornings he is the award winning host of Radio's breakfast show, helping millions of people to start their day. Then for the rest of the day he is just your average guy, with the exception of a few celebrity mates. Throughout the book he looks at events over the last ...
...to be the self-proclaimed saviour of Radio 1. Having woken up to Moyles on the way to work for the last 5 years I've actually enjoyed listening to him whilst stuck in traffic. I thought the book would be an extension of the radio show and while to a degree it is, there just seems something a little forced about it all. The ideas for each of the 18 chapters seems to have been a little rushed and in fact one of these is apparently republished from ... Read review

...listen to Chris Moyles in the morning before I had kids and gave up working, now I just sit and watch kids cartoons until it's time to get dressed (but that is a different story), and I used to really enjoy listening to him. I remember Chris talking about his book on air quite a bit, but then forgot about it until I read a review on another site, the review did say that the book wasn't really that good and to borrow it from a library rather than ...
...the library and return with the book. I was really interested to get started so I sat down to enjoy the book. It was so bad that I almost took the book back before finishing the first chapter. It is written in a really over familiar way, the way you might write a letter to a close friend, not in a typical bookish type of way. Some may find this appealing, but I didn't. Each of the chapters are actually quite long but they are usually split up into ... Read review

Advantages: Insight into Coleen's personal achievements
Disadvantages: I'll never be able to afford her clothes, shoes, bags!!!!

WAG TASTIC I just had to have this book! For so long I had been jealously eyeing up her clothes, her shoes, her bags, how does she look so good!? Maybe, just maybe her debut book could show me the answers and the secrets behind her flawless image. I wasn't disappointed as she proceeds to list her most expensive bags, shoes and her regular and yes you guessed it expensive beauty treatments! So although I found out how she looks so good I also felt ... Read review

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 ... Read review
