Reasonably interesting and funnyAugust 28, 2007 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Jade has had quite an interesting life and is quite funny when she tells a tale,but she's too young to write a complete autobiography and most of her tales have already been in all the tabloids.
She may have good looks but she doesnt make for good booksAugust 16, 2007 8 out of 15 found this review helpful
I normally love self-written books by celebs who dont conform to the old fashioned method of becoming famous i.e having talent. See my other reviews for proof. But frankly this book is the worst thing ever. Thats right, not the worst book or piece of literature, but the single worst thing ever created by mankind. As much as I love Jade & her arousing good looks, elequency & respect towards other races, this book is terrible. Most of the book is far fetched nonsense. Growing up in poverty with a one armed lesbian mother? Puh-lease! The whole 'bad childhood' cliche in these books is an overused, tried-&-tested plot device in order to make the end seem more happy & climatic. Why couldnt it have had a sad ending? Or a cliffhanger ala The Italian Job? Also her political commentary is way off the mark & her attempts at satire seems to fall flat on its face everytime.
I cried with tears of rage & frustration when I'd finished this book. I hope your next book is more believable next time Jade, or I will be very upset. >:-(
A no holds barred insite into Jades upbringingMarch 7, 2007 5 out of 11 found this review helpful
Once i started reading this book i could not put it down. I had known that Jade had a hard upbringing and childhood but i had never realised just how hard. A mixture of emotions from disbelief to complete hilarity. Have since passed this book around my family who all enjoyed it immensly. A thoroughly good read although probably not for the intellectuals amongst us!
Not Fit For Purpose...January 20, 2007 15 out of 25 found this review helpful
An autobiography, by dictionary definition is an "account of a person's life written by that person". So the title itself is incorrect - Jade can barely write her name - let alone a book! Admittedly, this is not Chaucer, Wilde or Kafka (it's not even up to Roger Hargreaves standards!), but not even Ms Goody could have managed it.
The content is very revealling for anyone who cares - she is and should have been a talentless nobody who should never have become a 'celebrity'. For her to have been allowed a 'book deal' is a disgrace. The book describes her poor, squalid up-bringing and explains why she's so ill-educated and ignorant. Perhaps going back to education would have been a better and more deserving idea, than quick cheap fame for no other reason than getting her ample body out on National TV?
A disgrace of a book.
AwfulJanuary 11, 2007 19 out of 27 found this review helpful
This book is absolute rubbish, written by someone who can't write to be read by people who can't read. The more I read of it the worse I felt at the thought of this mindless woman becoming a role model for teenage girls. It's worth reading just to see how low this "celebrity" culture of ours has become.
