Kerry Katona

Advantages: good biography
Disadvantages: n/a

...If I read a book I am partial to reading an autobiography, I think that it is a great way to get in the head of the celebrity and see what they are going through. Kerry's book was no different. It was a great read. The first series of "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" Kerry, the eventual winner. Kerry has never told her full story. She may have permanently graced the front of OK Magazine and had her every move followed and reported by the press. But, she has never actually told her own story in full. Her first memory was of her mother trying to kill herself, her childhood was one of shifting foster homes and children's homes, but now, as a single mother, she is trying to put tragedy behind her and raise her two children in a loving and secure home. This is a story of a little girl who fought to escape her background, became famous...

Review of Too Much, Too Young: My Story of Love, Survival and Celebrity - Kerry Katona

No holding back for Kerry Katonas Autobiography

Advantages: gripping
Disadvantages: sad in parts

...Kerry Katona was one third of Atomic Kitten. This book tells the story of her life, from her disfunctional childhood with quite frankly disgraceful excuse for a mother to her failed marriage to Westlife's Bryan McFadden. The book is a hugely moving tale and explains why Kerry has so many problems in her life now. I bought this book from a charity shop for £1 and will return it asap. I always buy a couple of books in this way before my holidays as it's like giving to charity twice. This was definately a good autobiography to buy and I couldn't put it down I think anyone with an interest in Kerry will enjoy reading it. I don't want to give too much away by telling you all the stories she tells but they are good and she doesn't really call too many people off unlike some other celebrities do in their books. I particularly liked...

Review of Too Much, Too Young: My Story of Love, Survival and Celebrity - Kerry Katona

Kerry Too much, Too soon

Advantages: A good insite to a celebs life, very good reading
Disadvantages: none

...By the age of 11 Kerry Katona had lived in countless different homes and attended 8 different schools. By the age of13 she could beat grown men at pool and knew how to look after her mother during a breakdown. By the age of 15 she had lived in women's refuges, the heart of London East End gangster-land and several different foster homes. By the age of 18 she was a pop star. This is what the back of the book says about what your about to read. I like reading about celebrities and I am not a great fan of Kerry's but after reading the back I was intrigued. Just by reading the back it felt like there were similarities, but then again a famous person telling us they were down and outs, like a jenny from the block, ermmmmm how true could this be. I had to buy it now, so got it home and read the Acknowledgments and was hooked. It...

Review of Too Much, Too Young: My Story of Love, Survival and Celebrity - Kerry Katona

'There's a feeling I get...'

Advantages: A spectacular, lofty peak overlooking one of the fairest of scenes...
Disadvantages: Well, unless you're lazy, none, really

...Grade-A pointy stuff is to be found in the west. Overlooking the County Kerry tourist mecca of Killarney (with its vast array of accommodation, hint hint) is a range of marvellously lofty (and monikered) hills, Macgillycuddy's Reeks, which culminate at Carrauntuohill, Ireland's highest peak. The Reeks are a long, spurred ridge with much ground over the magic altitude of 3000ft (indeed, there's substantially more 3000ft terrain therein than in the rest of Ireland put together), and Ireland's four highest mountains are all located here. Carrauntuohill lies towards the western end of the range, with the main spine running east and two prominent subsidiary ridges (the basis of the Coomloughra Horseshoe, of which more later) fan out to the north and west. In keeping with many mountain ranges, the southern and western slopes tend to be steep...

Review of Carrauntuohill, Kerry

Scenery to die for!

Advantages: Lots of scenery and plenty of things to do
Disadvantages: If you haven't got your own car you are a little restricted

...I recently visited Ireland as part of my work trip and stayed in a couple of different destinations one of them being Kerry. Whilst the group of us unfortunately didn't have time to do a full day exploring the Ring of Kerry, we did have a couple of hours to spend driving down part of it. The Ring is located in the south-west region of Ireland and is a large section of Peninsula that is known for it's sheer beauty. With many locations dotted around the edges or within the 'ring' it is a great location to stay if you love the counryside as there are plenty of places for walking and other outdoor activities such as fishing or golf. On the day we explored it we were on our way to Sneem from the town centre of Kerry - we decided that we wanted to see Torq waterfall and this was only about 20 minutes, if that driving time from...

Review of All About Me

A Different Kind of Loose Woman

Advantages: Erm...
Disadvantages: Maybe not juicy enough....

...My friend gave me this book recommending it as a compulsive read and once started you couldn't stop. I have to disagree on the compulsive part, but more of that later. The book is autobiographical and written by Kerry Cohen, telling the story of her promiscuity and addiction to sex which as we learn through the book is a way of feeling wanted and desired by the opposite sex. The author is from the US and the tale starts in New Jersey where she grew up. The cover of the book is a close-up of the right-side of a womans bottom and thigh, dressed only in knickers. Whilst I would not call this smutty, I wouldn't class it as sophisticated either. This isn't the sort of book I would have felt comfortable reading on the train or indeed in public. Now when I first started reading the book I expected it to be quite glamourous...

Review of Loose Girl - Kerry Cohen

'Come on pilgrim, you know he loves you...'

Advantages: The finest mountain in the British Isles
Disadvantages: The weather. 'Fickle' doesn't begin to sum it up.

...Killarney with a landlady who really was called Mrs Doyle ('call me Greta. Please'. God, you can't make this stuff up can you? Only in Ireland). In terms of getting there, RyanAir fly directly to Kerry twice daily from Stansted. Personally, I would steer clear in high summer, when it's way too busy: these places are best enjoyed alone or in the company of people you'd choose to be with. So, autumn or spring: the winter's for people with no nerve endings, like me. And hillwalking with friends is one of the best bonding experiences I know of. Especially when the weather's a bit tasty. So, the far west of Ireland: a place drowning in magic, tradition, atmosphere, the finest of all the mountains in these islands. And randy leprechauns. Get to it.

Review of Brandon Mountain, Kerry

Whats that bad smell?

Advantages: non
Disadvantages: smells bad

...***Kerry Katona Outrageous **** This is a perfume i probably would never had tried if it hadn't been in a gift set i got in boots for £6. For those of you that have never heard of Kerry she used to be in a girl band called Atomic Kitten. Nowadays she is probably mostly know for being in the Iceland adverts or even more recently for being a druggie. **Bottle** What were they thinking when they designed this? Seriously the bottle is so ugly. It is circular,bright red in colour and has a horrible spiky lid on top. The writing on the bottle is also not that easy to make out,it is like graffiti writing. **Smell** The ingredients listed are lemon,orange,rose,amber,sweet vanilla and patchouli. Usually i tend to like these ingredients but not all together. The end smell can only be described as "bogging". Apparently the reason for this perfume...

Review of Kerry Katonia Outrageous

Tribute to Kerry

Advantages: A little more understanding in the world
Disadvantages: we may never meet again

...was very easy going and I found myself asking her a tirade of questions, far from being offended she was happy to tell me what I wanted to know. The womans name was Kerry, she told me she had been working in Leicester that day. I was intrigued. Kerry explained that she works independantly going to schools and colleges educating children and young adults about dissability, as we were chatting she started to laugh..... I asked her what she was laughing at and she went on to tell me about a young boy in assembly that morning. Kerry had been addressing a junior school assembly, after she had made her speech she had asked the children if they had any questions they wanted answering. A young boy shot his hand up and said..."Miss, can you have sex?" she hadn't known how to answer, then she said " yes but not right now coz theres too many...
