Advantages: Nicely written, honest and revealing Disadvantages: As you'd expect it won't win a literacy prize
I only got this book because I quickly needed to find something to take advantage of WHsmiths 2 or 1 offer. I'm not really a Take That fan although I do like some of their songs and I like GaryBarlow as a songwriter.
The book is actually a really good read. Obviously it won't win any prizes for literacy but it's got some really interesting stories. The book takes from Gary's early beginnings, from when he got his first musical equipment and started to get gigs in working mens clubs, through to the Take That days and the solo career and if you buy the updated version the reunion.
Probably the most interesting parts concern his relationships with key people such as the Take That manager Nigel Martin-Smith and Robbie Williams. Gary is also honest enough to admit failings and some levels of immaturity in certain situations which is ...

Advantages: A must for all Gary and Take That fans - even for Robbie fans, too! Disadvantages: None
I cannot add much to the other reviews. This is an excellent read, and a 'must' for all Gary and Take That fans.
Here we see the truly sensitive side of a man who was treated mercilessly by the tabloid press, especially when Robbie had his 'big break' with 'Angels' and other massive hits.
