Advantages: Great read, real page turner. Disadvantages: None
This book details the life and loves of Sharon Osbourne, wife, moher, businesswoman, tv star, producer and former X-Factor retail judge.
Sharon is wife to Ozzy Osbourne from Black Sabbath and mother to Jack, Kelly & Aimee.
Sharon had quite a terrible upbringing at the hands of her father who was also Ozzy's manager for many years and proceeded to steal a large chunk of Ozzys fortune in early days which led to Sharon eventually taking over as Ozzy's manager which definitely seemed to help shape his career.
There have been many ups (and more downs) in Sharons life and she talks about them in quite graphic detail in this book.
Sharon gives off the impression that she is very fiery and independent but I think that deep down she really needs her family around her to help keep her strong and to give her something to fight for ...
Back in 2006, I read Extreme - Sharon Osbourne's autobiography. I really enjoyed it, so when I heard she had a second book out - Survivor - I borrowed it from the library and finished it last night.
I think most people know who Sharon Osbourne is. As well as being the wife of Black Sabbath star Ozzy and mother of actress and singer Kelly, Sharon Osbourne is well-known in her own right, especially in the UK for her part on the judging panel of The X Factor.
I wouldn't say I particularly like Sharon, but I have to admire the things she has achieved. I found Extreme to be quite shocking in parts, but overall, it was definitely a page-turner. Survivor is less shocking, but possibly more interesting in some ways. I certainly enjoyed reading it and it is one of those books you carry around with you, on the off-chance you may get time ...
Advantages: A thoroughly enjoyable read. Disadvantages: None.
I wasn't a huge fan of Sharon Osbourne, I liked her, but didn't think enough so to read her autobiography. I was very wrong.
The book is well written, fluid, humourous and thoroughly readable.
Sharon Osbourne shocks with tales of falings out and dalliances with not only her family, but with well know celebrities too.
There are several photos in the book too for readers to reflect on the Golden days of Ozzie!
Sharon writes in a frank, honest and very, very witty way. You won't be able to put the book down so don't be suprised if you finish it all in one or two sittings.
The book is not all jokes and shocking tales..it also touches the heart with very honest revelations from Sharon about the heartbreak she has been through, right from before she even met Ozzy. This book talks about her terrible relationship with her father ...
