Book Reviews of Learning to Fly: The Autobiography
Book Review: Engaging and Entertaining...
Summary: 5 Stars
Enter the world of one the most famous yet mysterious women in the world; wife to one of Britain's top soccer players, international music phenomenon, and mother of a baby boy. Who is she? Posh Spice aka Victoria Adams-Beckham.Victoria takes you through her world from childhood to a rahter current phase in a witty and often sarcastic point of view. Her childhood is rather sad and lonely, which gives a possible perspective to her perma-pout (ha ha). Next you are taken into her young adulthood where she is taken up into the world of hte Spice Girls, and that is one of the most fascinating parts. Every true spice fan has heard of the house in Maidenhead, finding the producer to write their songs, and being formed into the girl group "touch", but reading Victorias point of view really lets readers know the full story from a real perspective.
You get to watch the general rise and fall of the egirls, what Vicky is doing now, and what she has planned for the future. Also the color pictures included with the book are interesting to look at and provide a candid look at Posh's life. The only thing I chide her on is that there are way too many allusions to British pop culture which I simply can't follow. However for a fun, in-depth, easy read, pick this book up and you own't be able to put it down.
Book Review: A very honest book
Summary: 5 Stars
Victoria was my favorite Spice Girls, but I wasn't too big of a fan back then, coz I was busy with college. After the spice girls went solo, I didn't really care about them, just heard news of them here and there.. but nothing too crazy.. Recently the Beckhams have been under the affair allegations... and the press has been abusing Victoria claiming she was not around and many columnists blamed her for not being there for her husband. However Victoria on the other hand, has been strong and showing the public that she is there for her husband, their love is for real and they have a strong family.
After this, I am crazy about her. I think she is my new idol... so I searched for the book very hard, since it's out of print. Finally got a copy and I finished it in 5 days. It's really good book, very honest. She deals with the same problem as every teenagers, acne, boyfriends, fat, look, friends etc. With everything she went through, she has grown to be a very woman with inner beauty and strength of steel.
Book Review: Victoria Beckham Soars
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing biography! I grew up never really paying a whole lot of attention to the spice girls and didnt really care much about them. When someone suggested that I should read this book, I never knew her biography would be so interesting! It shows the other side of the stories that the press printed about her, many of it being false. Victoria grew up relatively normal, having the same problems as most teenage girls face and how she struggled with an eating disorder. It also talks about how spice girls was formed, the pain she suffered from being seperated from being away from her parents, and being in love with David Beckham. You also know how she feels about everything, about the music business and of her husbands profession. You can see the pain that victoria felt after seeing her husband and herself being abused by soccer fans and the press. Once you read this book you will have a new respect for Victoria and you will realize that there is more to her than being just "posh spice".Book Review: Victoria Beckham
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great. Victoria is truly open about her life. It makes you see a different side of the person you see in all the tabloids. She allows you to peak into her world. It is heartbreakingly honest. She doesn't try to skip the hard parts of her life. We can see how the Spice Girls developed and how the girls got along. Victoria allows the reader to take a peak into a marriage (and romance) that has overcome many obstacles to raise 3 kids and lead a happy life. She even reveals how it felt when people accused David of cheating on her.
I didn't know what to expect when I started the book but I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in one night (staying up until 4:00 in the morning). I have a new respect for Victoria Beckham that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I have always admired her fashion sense but I have a new respect for the person behind all the photographs. It is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about Victoria Beckham.
Book Review: absolutely amazing

This book have been on my list for so long.... and i still regret not reading it sooner, am such a big fan of the spice girls and of mrs. beckham in particular, and i have to say that i cudnt put this book down... its such a page turner, i didnt know ALOT of the stuff that happened, and was shocked to how hard it took them to reach stardom, but eventually it made me appreciate them more and her cd s' been on my player for like two weeks or sth, its amazing...
to all spice girls fans, victoria fans, and even pop fans, this is a must, and to non fans read it... it is one of the most entertaining books i've ever laid my hands on....
