Anyone who knows me knows that I love Olly Murs and so the only surprise is that is has taken me so long to read this book! It almost goes without saying that I loved it as much as I love the cheeky chap!

After receiving this as a Christmas present I finished it in one sitting as the writing is simple and easy to follow. Being an Olly Murs fan myself, I found this insight into his personal life fascinating and I enjoyed reading it.

Also, the binding of the book is beautifully printed and it looks very nice on my book shelf. My only criticism would be that it was really short, even though Goodsread puts it at 256 pages, only around 100 of them are actual text, the rest are pictures and photos. Thi

As a fan of Olly Murs I am very disappointed in myself that it took me this long to read it! I enjoyed reading about his life before, during and after X factor. I found out some interesting things I didn't know before particularly his relationship with fellow X factor contestant and the fact he had auditioned for the X factor a previous 2 times before making it to actually see the judges. I liked how short and sweet it was because I feel like if it was any longer I might have got a bIt bored. Th ...more

I read this book as soon as it came out as I was a big Olly Murs fan in my teenage years, but was sadly disappointed. Im not sure if my expectations were to high or its just not great writing, but I expected more. It was very slow and I struggled to get unto it but once I was so far in I couldn't not reading it as I wanted to know more.
I am glad that I read the book but sadly wont be reading to again.

Sorry Olly

Im my eyes, an average read - too short and not personal enough. I like to feel like i was in the story with him and i didnt. I am a fan of his music but this book didnt make me love him, he seems more charismatic than the book leads on, i think he could've done better

I was given the book as a present, it is not my usual genre to read publicity biographies. It was however an entertaining break from all the heavy literature I tend to chose. Obviously more a publicity vehicle than in depth story of Olly Murs life and career it is short enough to keep my interest until the picture section fills the second half of the book. I guess I am not the right target audience for the book but it probably fulfils its purpose for those who would buy it for themselves. The pi ...more

I loved this book! I read it within a few hours! I love that there are photos included. The only thing is I wish he would have talked more about his brother, Ben.
Georgia Mclean
So, I love Olly, I loved him on the X Factor, I love his singles, I loved him when I saw him live, and his books just somehow makes me love him MORE!!! This book is so funny and is an utter joy to read, you learn a lot about Olly and his life! I also enjoy how the book isn't laid out like your usual autobiography, i enjoy the separation of words and picture! If you like Olly Murs then i suggest you read this book - NOW!
Temmy
Its a must read for any Olly Murs fan. I guess it would be interesting for others who have only just heard about olly because of Troublemaker. It feels as if he's sat next to you, reminiscing about the past.
Hopefully, readers will start to understand olly more and that he's worked hard to get from winning 10 "on deal or no deal" to earning thousands ! :)

good autobiography with some interesting bits, however i felt a bit let down that a 3rd of the book is just pictures. i thought i had lots left to read when in actual fact the last 70 pages or so were just photos! dont get me wrong, i do love olly murs and am happy to look at his pics but when i buy a book its cos i want to read it!!
Aimee
If you are a fan of Olly Murs I would recommend reading this book. It follows Olly's life and explains his highs and lows and experiences through his life before the audition on X-Factor that changed his life. I really enjoyed the humour that was portrayed throughout this book and you really get a feel for the true Olly character :)
sting  baggins

Jo Marlow barrett
What can I say .......
All Ollys Army should read this, it's a cracking read & he's kept it all real, fame really hasn't changed him. I loved every word in the book. Took me 3 days to read on my kindle also brought it as a hard copy to keep.

A true mix of feelings were felt during reading.
Loved it.
Slow Man
This is the perfect time to read an ex-X-Factor finalist journey and follow the latest season of the show.
It's all about hard work and opportunities and keep going and not giving up.
Sarah
It was a nice read for someone like me who's pretty new in Olly Murs land ... but this book should have more natural pictures instead of alle these shooting pictures.
Simone Mcfadden
I'm a huge Olly fan so I had to buy this book when it came out. I had it read within a few hours and enjoyed looking at the pictures
Emma Topp
Im a massive Olly fan so really enjoyed it. The only reason it didnt get 5 stars is that almost half is just photos.
