Customer Reviews

LK livens up your bookshelf
Lorraine Kelly, the cheerful face on your breakfast TV screen has penned an autobiography of her varied career since joining her local paper as a cub reporter in the 1970s. It zips along at a fair pace and the narrative is so well written, it often feels as if you're snuggled up to Lorraine on the GMTV sofa and she's reciting a series of anecdotes to you. I did find a couple of the chapters rather heavy-going for a `celeb' autobiography, as they dealt with the Lockerbie disaster and the Dunblane shooting with empathy and insight, although I found the latter impossible to read without dissolving into tears, so I gave it a miss.

Lorraine's celebrity gossip about various guests is entertaining and the heart-warming stories of her happy marriage and family life are lovely to read. I'd recommend this book to your mum or a favourite auntie to savour over the festive period.

great story from a great personality!
This book was recommended by a friend and what a good recommendation! It's great to know more about this popular presenter through her life experiences, past and present.The only disappointing thing about this book is that when you finish it, it leaves you wanting more!!

a Trip Down the Memory Lane
I could so easily compare my life with Loraine's parents,us being about the same age. I was a "mature" 21 when I had my child while my husband was 18. Such children, but we coped and obviously raised very fine kids. Good for us and good for Loraine for letting us share her memories!
