 My Take - Gary Barlow
 My Take - Gary Barlow ... millions, and they sold out arenas in less time than it took to play one of their singles. Gary Barlow was the band's secret weapon: their gifted, down-to-earth front man who not only wrote most of their greatest hits - Back for Good, Never Forget, and A Million Love Songs - but sang them too. But the band decided to quit at the height of their fame. What followed for Gary is an inspiring journey of highs and lows: from the promising start of his solo career to his crisis in confidence. The public who had once worshipped him almost seemed to forget he existed. Much has been said about Gary but he himself has remained silent until now. For the first time, Gary tells his full story from his childhood in Cheshire to life after Take That: the early start at thirteen working in a social club; a career as a teenager working the northern clubs; and the life-changing moment when he met Nigel Martin-Smith, a Manchester modeling agent who wanted to put together a boy-band. Gary will reveal what life on the road with Take That was really like and the truth behind the rumours of their petty feuding. He will also finally settle the speculation around his painfully public fall-out with Robbie. Throughout his experiences Gary has remained as determined and as positive as he was when he was given his first keyboard at eleven. It is this determination and spirit that has helped him bounce back. He has established himself as a successful songwriter writing for the likes of Blue, Delta Goodrem, and Charlotte Church. And now he's made one of pop's great comebacks with the Take That reunion tour, ten years after the band split up. Gary Barlow and Take That are back centre stage once again - where they belong.Newest Review: ... must say, I found the book interesting. I thought that Gary was very honest when writing this and wrote about the bad times ... more ... and the embarrassing, not just the good. He realised he'd made mistakes and at one point he even decided to phone people who he'd worked with and apologise for his behaviour when he was in Take That. While Gary is a star, from reading the book you feel that he's still grounded and down to earth, and when he forgets that then there's usually something that comes along and grounds him. He's supported by a loving wife, Dawn, children and his parents.
Gary doesn't hold back in this autobiography. He admits when somebody el...more |

"My Take" is Gary Barlow's autobiography (written with Richard Havers). For those who don't know (and if you don't, where have you been?!), Gary Barlow is a member of Take That, the 90's band that bounced back into this decade even bigger than they were before! "My Take" is his take on his childhood, breaking into the music scene, his years in Take That, after the band split and into the reformation of the band... Basically, his life so far. There are 2 versions of the book - the hardback which was released in 2006 and the paperback released a year later and updated with "the story of the comeback of all comebacks". I'm ...

Well I am going to see Take That on Saturday and so thought I would do a Take That related review. I have been a Take That fan since I was a little girl and when they reformed I became an even bigger fan. Gary Barlow, obviously on the back of the reunion, decided to release his autobiography. It was perfect timing really and it had given him a chance to tell his side of the story of his time in Take That and since. As you have probably guessed from my introduction Gary Barlow was a member of the 90's boyband Take That. He also had a solo career following this, although this wasn't as successful as his time in the band. The book is very attractive ... Read the complete review

Even though I'm not a big fan of this autobiography boom that is going on at the moment, I asked to have Gary Barlows autobiography as a Christmas present and I just got round to finish it. The only autobiography I read before this was Robbies and I have to say, there is no comparison. Gary's is a very easy read and very interesting whereas I felt like Robbies was dragging on a bit. It might be because Gary used a ghost-writer, which gives the book a better quality. It takes you through Gary's whole live, from his childhood, through to his days as a soloartist in clubs to his time in Take That and afterwards up to the reunion. The book gives you a lot of inside in ... Read the complete review
