An easy read (what I believe is an updated version of his first autobiography) Over the Moon begins with the stars formative years in the east end of London before quickly, very quickly, moving onto his rise to fame as a musician and star of the stage and screen.
What seems like a very honest autobiography, certainly this is a very down-to-earth, dignified and refreshing read in that there are no so-called 'kiss and tell' stories which feature in the biographies of so many 'celebs'.

David Essex was one of my idols in my pre-teens/teens. What young girl could resist that cheeky chappy smile, those twinkling eyes? Many years later I couldn't resist his autobiography. This isn't a kiss and tell book. This is an honest, heartwarming, witty account of David's youth, his long road to stardom, and the people who matter to him the most,his family. This is a must read for all David Essex fans.
Having long been a David Essex fan I was expecting to enjoy this & I certainly wasn't disappointed. Remembered so many of the career highlights he talks about and lovely to find that my previous perception that he is in fact an all round good bloke is correct. He may be older now but still has the twinkle st eyes I've ever seen ;0)
Like some of David Essex's stuff, 'Rock On' is a very inventive track and this book does show what a talented and hard working bloke he is. Glad I read it.
I loved this book- did like David Essex when I was younger! I was interested in his early career.
