A Whole new World by Jordan/Katie Price
I wasn’t a big fan of Jordan or Katie Price (as she more commonly seems to be known as nowadays) until that is, my friend leant me her copy of “Being Jordan”, the first instalment of Katie’s autobiography. That book was such an easy read that I finished it within one day and I really felt like a got a true insight into the life of this very popular pin up girl.
I won’t say I didn’t enjoy reading her first part of her autobiography because to my surprise I really did. I must have, because when the second part, “A Whole New World”, came out in paperback I went out and bought a copy for myself! (Of course being not a massive fan I didn’t want to buy the hardback and pay out even more money! Anyway who can read a hard back easily in bed!!)
This book cost me £5.99p although the RRP is set at £7.99p and you could probably get it even cheaper than that now. I still think this is fairly expensive for the amount of words that you are getting as the book seems to be pretty thin. Although there are 401 pages the words do seem to be spaced out quite a bit and again this book took only a few days to read (and I now have a baby to tend to so I can’t believe I flew through it so quick!).
There are plenty of pictures in this book too, much more than the first part of her autobiography and they are spaced out through the pages at different intervals. The pictures are of course some of her looking very natural and much more Katie Price than Jordan. There are plenty of pictures of Peter as well so for all those that had that teenage crush (guilty as charged) there is something to have a good drool over!
This book pretty much starts where the last Katie Price autobiography left off with Katie getting it together with Peter after there short stint in the Australia Jungle in “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!” We get to know Katie’s true feelings about Peter and how even though everything happened so quickly it really was true love. It does come across slightly cheesy at some points but then again I do think that Peter Andre is the epitome of cheesy!
The book moves from Katie trying hard to get together properly with Peter through to the moment when Peter asked Katie to marry him. Of course there is a lot of talk about Katie’s son Harvey and Peter taking on the role of father to him. This I find is totally admirable, as Peter has really become a true man with being able to give his love and become a father to someone else’s child and he seems to have done it with such true love and devotion without any effort at all. A lot of men could really take a leaf out of his book.
Of course the book then moves on to the wedding and then the arrival of the new little Andre with the birth of their first son, Junior, together. We really see again an honest and frank account of Katie Price’s life. Although at some points through out the book I find myself thinking that this really is not something that I can image her to say and I could imagine that things must have had to been changed slightly for this book to be published.
Some people may think that this is really not their cup of tea to read but at first that is what I thought but the fact that it was so easy to read and really just felt like reading a large magazine article. Reading “Being Jordan” really did inspire me to start to read other peoples autobiographies and since that first book I have got more interested in the lives of many a famous person. The whole attraction to reading this book is just to know a little bit more about the Jordan or Katie price that we see so much on television or in the newspapers. The fact that her first autobiography really left you hanging was a true stroke of brilliance on her part as it makes you need to know what she has to say in the second instalment and I can’t see anyone who read her first autobiography not going out and getting this one! What a great businesswoman!
This book compared to the first instalment is perhaps not as juicy and page turning riveting but is a pretty good read if you really are interested in wanting to know a little bit more about the real Katie Price. I do think that even though Katie Price started as a glamour model that she has really got her head screwed on and is now such a great businesswoman and is really successful. In this day and age when there really are not that many people in the public eye that young people can look up to and aspire to be like, in my view Katie Price is a pretty good role model to many young women.
Not many people may agree with my last statement but have those people read her book? She may not be everyone’s idea of a good role model but I think the fact that she is able to deal with and care for her disabled son and handle all the business that she does shows how much dedication she has both towards her family and her success. She really wants her family to have the very best and to get that she realises that she must succeed in her career and it seems as though that is exactly what she is doing. Succeeding.
Until writing this review I really didn’t think I thought that much of her and that the book was just another one to add to the “books I have read” pile but looking back I can now honestly say that she really does seem like such an honest and upfront person. Telling her life of course is making her tons of money and by doing the television shows that she has done has probably earned her mega bucks. It also has earned her the respect she really wants from a lot of people.
A Good book that is going to give you the right story on the infamous Jordan/Katie Price 8/10.
