I have always been a fan of Mrs O and decided to read the first installment of her autobiography. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of content but I knew it would be very honest and direct. And what I like is that she is actually old enough to write an autobiography unlike other celebrities who write them when they are barely out of their nappies! People may think that Sharon Osbourne is just a judge on the X Factor and if you think that, then I highly recommend that you read her book. It is evident that she is more than just Ozzy Osbourne's wife and a TV personality. She was once one of the most influential music managers and still is today, managing ...  Read the complete review

When I was in my teens I couldn't help but become fascinated by the Osbourne family - Ozzy, his wife Sharon, and their children. The reason for this is their hugely successful 2002 MTV reality show "The Osbournes". It was the first fly-on-the-wall series about celebrities' lives, and it spawned a genre. More than anyone, while watching the show, I was particularly interested in Sharon, there just seemed to be something about her; Sharon's personality seemed to light up the whole house, and she certainly had to be strong to be married to Ozzy. They've been married for nearly thirty years, and Sharon is a rock music manager, which I loved ...  Read the complete review

An autobiography that I did not really enjoy reading was "Extreme" which tells the story of the life of Sharon Osbourne. I had expected this to be an interesting read and to be fair it was but the problem with it is that even from the written page you can tell how much this woman loves herself and thinks highly of what she has achieved. There is nothing worse than a person with no modesty and this book tells the story of just such a person in my opinion. Yes she does have a story to tell and it is an interesting read, it tells of her life growing up and how she came into contact with some very interesting but scary characters through her ...  Read the complete review

I bought this book for my holiday this year, to take my mind off the plane ride! It was well worth the 1.99 i paid for it at the works book shop about 2 weeks ago. I thought I would buy it mainly because I am obsessed by autobiographies and enjoyed 'the osbournes' when it was on television. Firstly the book was not what i expected at all as it delved quite deep into her personal life, her struggles with her father, when ozzy tried to kill her and her heartbreaking miscarriges. The start of the book focuses on her family life as she was growing up. How her house was rented out to travelling entertainers and the characters that she met as a child. ...  Read the complete review

I inherited this autobiography from my sister when she had a clear out, and never one to refuse a book, I rehomed this one. I would not describe myself as a fan of Sharon Osbourne. I knew who she was, but I can't say I have ever sat and watched an episode of her TV show 'At Home with the Osbournes' or watched her when she has been a judge on the X-Factor. I know a little about her family being a bit unconventional, but I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book. This autobiography covers life for Sharon from being born to being around 50 years of age. Written and published in 2005, this really is a no-holds barred look at the things that ...  Read the complete review
