Customer Reviews

A good insight into the nature of abuse and excessive behaviour!
As a teenager I was a fan of Black Sabbath. I bought this book because I wanted to read about Ossie. I've never watched more than 5 minutes of the X-Factor, and had no interest in Sharon Osbourne.

However, by the end of the book I had a great respect and liking for her. This well written account of her life have me a great insight into the record industry, and the mechanics of bringing an artist on tour. It was also a very good study of a totally addictive personality, and how she coped with him!

By the way, the book really put me off Ossie.....

Highly addictive
I bought this to read on holiday, and it was way better than some chicklit romance could be! I'm not a huge fan of biographies, but Sharon's story is more dramatic than most and had me gripped from the beginning. It was one of those books which I started and finished in one sitting and got irritated when people interrupted me. Frank, forthright and highly entertaining.

Surprising
I'm not a fan of autobiographies & definately not a fan of Sharon Osbourne, so I'd never seen the reality TV show on MTV or the X Factor. But this was one of the most honest & frank autobiographies I've ever read. It details her rise in her father's conmpany & the appalling way she was treated by him, to her love for Ozzy which has always been unconditional despite his demeanours. And you don;t realise how much she has had to put up with, a crazy family, a crazy husband to an extent, plus her children, Aimee who had cancer & Kelly & Jack who have had to go to clinics. Plus her own cancer, her husband's quad bike accident & the theft from her Chilterns home. WHat an amazing inspiration to us.
