Book Reviews of Learning to Fly: The Autobiography
Book Review: Funny, Hysterical and Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite possibly the best autobiography from an entertainer I have ever read. Nothing I write here will do this book justice, it simply must be read. Posh Spice was always my favorite Spice Girl, but she was the Spice Girl we really didn't know anything about. She wasn't loud like scary or in your face like Ginger. All we really knew was that she was pretty one with the little Gucci dress and the pout and point. This book takes you beyond the posh spice image and the image the tabloid press paints of her, this is the real Victoria Beckham and I reckon after reading this book you may just come to adore her.
The real Victoria Beckham is surprisingly funny--no really she is hysterical! fiercly loyal, very family oriented and incredibly smart. This book is about how a shy little girl with a dream grew up to be part of one the biggest pop groups in history and then one half of the most famous couple in show biz and through it all she managed to remain very grounded.
The price of fame is indeed a high one and the strength she displyed in the midst of kidnapping threats towards her baby boy, the tabloid rumors that never seem to end, and betrayal by the very people she trusted to protect her family is remarkable. Equally remarkable is her "never say die" attitude, no matter how many times the critics and tabloids kick her down she always finds a way to rise above it. Now that's girl power!
I bought this book purely out of curiosity. Like most Spice Girls fans I went of to college and had forgotten about them until recently. I'm glad I rediscovered them and I'm thrilled I bought this book, because while I was always a posh spice fan, I'm now a pretty big Victoria Beckham fan. She is a role model to every young girl with a dream. Victoria Beckham did not merely learn how to fly--she soared.
Summary of Learning to Fly: The Autobiography
From the time when, as an eight-year-old girl, she saw the movie Fame, Victoria wanted to be a star. There was a line from the title song that stayed with her-'I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to fly'. With this extraordinary book she gives us the chance to follow her on her journey from lonely teenager to international star; to fly alongside her.Composers & Musicians Books
