Excellent, Riveting!

This a must read for any Spice Girls fan or even just a fan of pop music. This the story of the life of one Melanie Brown aka Scary Spice. It tells from her humble beginnings, or passionate relationship, the love of her family, her rise to fame with the Spice Girls as well as its down fall. Out of all the SG bios, this is the best written of the lot. It had me giggling all through out. It's riveting, fast-paced, ardent, and funny. You won't be disappointed.

That wacky Mel B!

I really enjoyed reading this book over the summer. Mel B is quite hilarious and entertaining but she also has a softer & sad side. As women we sometimes forget that love and relationships don't discriminate between broken hearts. Her upbringing & how she categorizes her family as White Grandma and Black grandma are entertaining. Her whole shoot to fame with the spice girls was a thrill ride. Mel B is blantanly honest, even discussing her sexual conquest, which were maaaaaaaaaany! I felt sick to my stomach by how Jimmie Gulzar used her for fame & money & how he treated her on their wedding night would have been enough for me to walk out the door. This book was a pretty good read, the fact that pictures were enclosed were also a big plus. Melanie Brown has always been a beautiful woman in my eyes, I truly believe, she has a great future still ahead. Much success Mel B........

If you were...

If you were a Spice Girls fan, this would be good reading. Get to know the facts that you never knew was going on during the Spice Girls' careers, what life was like for Mel B as a child to her mid-20s, her marriage & divorce, solo music, and what she had planned to do after the dwindling spice career. The only con I can say about this book is that she is too young to have written a truly grasping autobiography. She's only been through 20-odd years of life.
