happyanddandy Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 In Tesco this morning I noticed that Katie Price has another paperback on the Bestseller shelf. It has never crossed my mind to pick up her books (perhaps I should) and I have often wondered who does buy and read them? Are they any good? Well they must be mustn't they? Thousands can't be wrong. In a similar vein I have never looked inside Victoria Beckham's last tome (it was sealed with cellophane after all). What am I missing? Am I just too old?

aromaannie Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I'm afraid I have to admit I have read her first autobiography and her first novel Angel. I enjoyed the biograhy although I don't actually like her very much. I kept shaking my head at how so self obsessed someone can be. Her novel was easy trash reading and loads of it is taken from her biograhy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen1 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I didn't read her first book although I have to admit I was tempted just to be nosy, but a friend of mine did read it and said it was a real easy read - as in not too taxing on the brain - and that she thought the main character was pretty much based on Jordan. So that kind of put me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I've never even considered reading them, but perhaps I should give them a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I had no idea she had turned her hand to writing! Actual Novels... I just cannot believe it. I added the dancing cows because they are really good!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added the dancing cows because they are really good!! Wellspelling exactly - but they are bestsellers so somebody is buying them - who?

Fiona Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Urgh. Celebrity books. Published only cos of her famous name. I stay well clear. She doesn't have a life I'm interested in much as she's barely done anything of note. Maybe she is a nice person, I think she is but I couldn't care less. I make a point not to ever buy a book by such people. Besides, they may not even be written by her/them but through a ghost writer...

kitty Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I read the autobiography to get the gossip when it first came out. I used to be into celeb gossip, but im not anymore. I thought it was a waste of money as most of it you already knew about from the papers and magazines. That was def my last one. I think. Yes, no more.

LittleLijah Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I read her first autobiography which was bad but not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. How can anyone so young have 3(?) autobiographies out already!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwork frog Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I read her first autobiography which was bad but not quite as bad as I thought it was going to be. How can anyone so young have 3(?) autobiographies out already!?! Because people pay money for them. Simple as that, I think! In my humble opinion, books of this ilk are nothing more than elaborate and lenghty 'Hello'/'OK' articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
