If there was one celebrity biography that passed through the doors of the book shop I worked in that had annoyed me so much in 2007, it would have been this one. What frustrated me the most was the sheer arrogance on behalf of the publisher of packaging this book as an autobiography, when clearly it is not.
HarperCollins knew this (and graced her with a ‘low six figure advance’) but still they give us the false impression that she is an author from her product for the pleasure. They even have th ...more

I loved this book, so what if it was written by a ghost writer.
It was hilarious in places and so very sad in others. I loved jade and was so very sad when she died.

I felt really sorry for Jade reading this. Childhoods are so important... Anyway, really enjoyed it.
Wasn't really looking forward to this book in my to read pile as i was never keen on her when i seen her on tv as she always seemed really cocky and loud mouthed but the actual truth of her life was pretty shocking.
She didn't have the best childhood or life in general really and swung from one problem to the next even if it wasn't of her own making, was a very interesting read and i really enjoyed this and shows that what you see on tv etc is not always what lies behind the person and you should ...more

Why you may say, would an English Teacher read this???
I am also a Media Teacher, and whether you like her or not, she did make the most of what the media had to offer her, ie. fame and fortune.
I didn't know a lot about Jade, as I am not a fan; although I enjoyed the book. The reason I rated the book a 3, was for two reasons.
1. It was written by a ghost writer, although it does maintain Jade's voice
2. Slightly repetetive in places
On the plus side, she has had an interesting life that is well wor ...more

To be honest, I am quite embarrassed that I have read this. I borrowed it from a friend as something to read on a train journey years ago (i'd forgotten a book) It was ok, I didn't particularly like Jade, she had an interesting childhood so it was readable and I was disappointed to find out that it was written by a ghost writer too.
Such a sad book- obviously knowing the outcome makes the diary entries even more poignant. Such a young girl. Another book picked up in the pound shop.
I loved it, because I was always a Jade Goody fan, she is fantastic, the only thing is that the book makes me sad :(
