All Balls and Glitter: My Life
£9.31
NO GLITTER - Every time I fall into the Autobiography trap, I swear I will never be caught again. Just because someone has led an interesting/extraordinary life, it does not follow that they can share this with us in writing! Craig Revel Horwood s book illustrates the point. Dreary, dull, lifeless writing. Craig.....you needed a ghost writer, or at the very least a crash course in creative writing!Borrow a copy before you buy....wish I had!
Fabulous! - What a read! Craig is as honest and straightforward as you d expect and so open about his life. His no holds barred style really takes you through the highs and lows, the laughter and the tears. It s a must-read for Strictly fans. I couldn t put it down.
Not bad - I found it interesting to discover what qualifies Craig to judge dancers, and his credentials hold up. I also enjoyed reading about his journey from Aus to a hugely popular BBC show. I did find the book a little rushed at the end, but I still enjoyed learning about him. I think it could have gone deeper though. It s more a coffee table book than many other biographies I have read.
YAWN! Dull Dull Read - Not sure what the other people were reading but in my opinion this is a dull read merely for the people who laugh and titter at his feeble put downs on a dancing game show. Yes, wehave all the backstage glitter (if you can call it that) here and also his background, love life (painfully boring) but mostly it reads as someone who believes that are a star but are not merely a judge on a gameshow.
A-MA-ZING! - All Balls and Glitter was a sensational read - I could nt put it down. What ever you thought of Craig from Strictly (acid tongued and critical) certainly portrays himself in a very different light and openly exposes his secret past. He takes us back to his childhood of rural Australia and his desperate actions to get him out of a miserable childhood. Taking the reader on a wonderful and colorful journey to how Craig became the judge we all love to hate.It has gossip, truth, scandal, sex and love everything you want in a good Barbara Cartland !! But this is Craigs real life and is no fictional story ! A wonderful addictive read.It appeals to everybody, and highly recommend this book its certainly not DULL DULL DULL !!
