Synopsis
Jordan is one of the most notorious celebrities in Britain today. Daily Mirror Editor, Piers Morgan, described her as 'The biggest driver of sales of tabloid newspapers in the country.' A top glamour model since the age of 16, she was an instant hit as a Page 3 girl, was the F1 Jordan team mascot for four years and even spent 3 weeks with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy mansion! Yet behind the glamorous party girl is the real Jordan - Katie Price - single mum and accomplished horsewoman who is more at home in her combat trousers than posing in her G-string. Much has been written about Jordan in the press but here, for the first time, is the real story of Katie in her own words. She reveals the full stories behind her turbulent youth, her traumatic relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke, her heartbreak over a top Formula One driver and her battle to cope with her son's blindness and diabetes, and her own fight against cancer.

Being Jordan - I loved it!
This was the first book of katie's that i read and i really enjoyed it. She is very forward about everything she says and isn't afraid to speak what's on her mind! Thats what i love about it, it's just about her. It's a great read and i would recommend anyone to get it, it would be money well spent! :)
Extremely Enjoyable Reading
I've never been a huge Jordan fan, but I must admit that after watching their documentary series on ITV, I did revise my opinion of Katie and Peter - they seem to be much more normal than I had previously given them credit for. This book confirms that while Katie is a smart,well sussed business woman who knows exactly what she is doing, she is also a very loving wife and mother.
Her story is written in an easy to read style and I suspect that many women will relate to her early relationship experiences. She tells her story frankly and openly, and even if you think that her behaviour at times is questionable, you have to admire her honesty. As most of the story was written just before her jungle experience and therefore pre-Peter, it's definitely part one of her journey to marriage and motherhood.
I enjoyed this book and bought the second instalment immediately.
A Good Book
This Book is great!
Its covers starting a successful modelling career and you see pictures that work. And she shares idea's.
Her Boob sugery and the process and recovery etc. Everything.
Her Three week stay at the Playboy Mansion and her shoot with them and her promotion a year later.
Alot about Harvey, her family which you love to hear about.
It sounds like she is truly talking to you and an easy reader.
The 'feud' with Posh spice covered.
And many relationships such as Dane Bowers, Gareth Gates, Dwight (Harverys Dad) and more.
I gave it a four because because I think it went on ALOT about relationships. I wanted to know about her, not so much every detail of her relationship. E.g. 'I came home and he was watching TV' sort of stuff, details like that are cropping up alot.
Interesting book. Read it I say. Perfect for girls into Glamour modelling, Boobs jobs, Playboy and of course Katie herself. I love that stuff and I loved the book.
