Fall Out!!!
After reading Janet's first book, the superb "Baggage", i couldn't wait to get into her sequal "Fall Out". I certainly was not disapointed, what a read, hilarious, gribbing and inspirational. This book covers Janet's life from the late 60s to 1979, her success in the media and most of all, the fantastic characters that she met along the way.
This autobiography really is a page turner, written like the pro she is and a great read for not just the one occassion.
Janet Rules!!!

Totally Boring!
I have never read a more BORING autobiography in all my life! I like Janet Street Porter and thought her book would be hilarious but it was very stern and she talked mostly about USA Government! Totally boring! It would be better if it was based on her life today without the Government and all her political issues! A big fat zero for a rating I'm afraid.
