Advantages: Full of emotion and feeling, plenty of detail... Disadvantages: Hard to put down, can draw tears to the eyes
Who. Doomsday, to be precise. For those of you who do not know this episode, Doomsday was Billie's final episode as Rose Tyler, her send-off. All of Rose's feelings and emotions are cast in one episode, and in this part of the script, Rose talks with a very monotone voice. Depressing. She talks of adventure and lust. Words expressing great passion. A script to sum up Billie.
::Act 1 - Living A Dream::
We are introduced to Billie's life in the first chapter, when she tells about what you could say was the beginning of her career. The time in her life when she is sitting around the table with Hugh Goldsmith and the Innocent team, and her parents. This was when she was offered the record deal. All that money, all that fame. Lying on the table in the form of a contract, itching to be signed. Billie was fifteen, my age now - so I can quite ...
Advantages: good read, honest account of her life (so far) Disadvantages: none
I remember Billie as an annoying 14 year old singing "Because We Want Too". She had a couple of hits, "Honey To The Bee" being another one that I can think of. Then she went quiet for a while and the next thing we hear is that Chris Evans from TFI Friday has given her a red Ferrari and she can't even drive!
Why did Chris give her a Ferrari, why did she think she could sing?! All these questions and more are answered in her compelling book Growing Pains.
Growing Pains is the autobiography of Billie Piper. It is an honest, interesting and quite touching story of her life until now. An autobiography used to be about the life story of a person, now it seems to be the life story (so far). Billie Piper is still only 23 years old, what can she know about life? Enough to fill a book?
The answer is yes. Billie, at the age of 23 ...
Advantages: Honest, compelling, interesting, entertaining, humorous... fab! Disadvantages: If you too remember Billie's popstar days at all fondly then this may disappoint you
In Celeb World age is just a number; celebrities live life in the fast lane and speed rapidly through all the milestones of marriage, kids and more. Failure to have had at least two marriages, three kids, four different career paths and two properties in two different continents by the age of thirty is the true epitome of failure in an industry where having everything and doing everything is key. Without taking this in to consideration, twenty three may seem like a young age in which to publish an autobiography. However, for Billie Piper, who first encountered fame at the tender age of fifteen, an autobiography actually seems strangely long overdue.
Billie has experienced more than many of us will experience in our entire lifetimes. No young girl could have failed to have been intrigued over the years by the career and personal life ...
