Stunning piece of history(Rating: 5) I thought this book was a beautiful insight into the girls lives.This book reveals all of the girls true dreams and desires before the band and for the future. With their northern humor all of the girls present some stomach clenching moments which will have you laughing for hours, whilst creating some stunning imagery of their evryday lives, tour life and group performances.
Any negative thoughts you may have once had about the girls will disapear as you get close and personal to every girl and discover they are not diva's or spoilt but are truely inspiring women.
There are many beauty tips provided in this books along with a reveal of what the girls use to keep them selves beautiful.
A great read and certainly one you won't be able to put down.
Enjoyable(Rating: 3) I enjoyed this book but I agree with some people that there could have been far more substance to it. As Girls Aloud have said though there is alot that had to be left out due to their younger fans. It is an enjoyable read though and it is interesting to see that we think of them as being very manufactured yet this book describes how they were pretty much left to find their own way without much help and guidance.
Just one long interview(Rating: 2) I think this is a book for real fans only. I was expecting the story of from when Girls Aloud won Popstars The Rivals to present day, but although it did start out roughly from the beginning, it then jumps around all over the place. It nevers seems to be able to concentrate on one particular person but all 5 girls contribute with their thoughts on the particular subject of the chapter, which means that it never really flows as a story.
I would have preferred the book to be split into equal seperate sections on each girl giving her story from the start to present day, but this is just like reading one long interview. If I wanted that I could have bought Heat.
Sorry to upset the real fans but I cannot recommend this book if you are looking for an autobiography.
boooooring!(Rating: 1) This book was never going to be a propper autobiography as even sarah harding has admited they couldnt put any risky stuff in here because it's aimed mainly at kids, so its basically like girls alouds music it looks ok on the outside but if you dig any deeper theres not much there.
be fair there are five of the girls and this book is 256 pages long while their sworn enemy and more successful singer charlotte church's book is 368 pages long and packed with funny stories with nothing held back.
girls aloud seem to think theyre the best girlband ever but they need to realise they've sold like 4,000,000 albums what about the spice gorls, all saints or the sugababes?
i'd rather read a book by any of them as i think it would be way more interesting then this "book".
poor book by a poor band(Rating: 1) These girls seem to think they are bigger than All Saints, Spice Girls and Destiny's Chil when infact they aren't as big as many of them. Girls Aloud have no success outside the UK. But I'll admit, some of their songs from their Tangled Up era was rather mature sounding and catchy and I did take a liking to it. So it really made feel like a huge hypocrite. I've become a lot more open minded with Music.
I go by this saying:-
"If you hear something you like, don't analyse it. Just dance to it"
Girls Aloud aren't really anything to be taken seriously. They are just very, incredibly lucky, guilty pleasures.
