Book Description

July 24, 2007
SHE IS A FASHION ICON WITH A LUST FOR FAME. HE IS POSSIBLY THE MOST FAMOUS ATHLETE ON THE PLANET.

Together they are one of the most loved -- and hated -- pairs on Earth. This sensational, highly addictive biography delves beneath the Beckhams' glossy, glamorous facade to expose the real Posh and Becks behind the headlines and the hype.

Celebrity biographer Andrew Morton, hailed for his insightful, in-depth coverage of luminaries such as Princess Diana and Madonna, explores in detail how David and Victoria Beckham followed their passions -- football and fame -- to become two of the most recognizable people in the world. From their individual childhood stories of relentlessly pursuing their dreams to achieving fame together on an international level, Posh and Becks have earned their unofficial titles as the "King and Queen of Popular Culture," and they never disappoint their fans -- or the tabloids -- when it comes to making news. Their whirlwind courtship, "royal" wedding, alleged affairs, and family struggles have been lived out under the glare of flashbulbs, which they seem to simultaneously court and shun as they attempt to balance their personal lives with their public personas.

With up-to-date coverage and commentary on all things Beckham, including David's disappointing stint at Real Madrid and the family's relocation to Los Angeles, Posh & Becks lays bare the truth behind the tabloids on this fascinating couple.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"So enjoyable, yet so profound - more than any slog of a chick-lit novel, here is a truly delightful and piquant calorie-free indulgence. Julie Burchill, The Mail on Sunday" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

Dubbed Britain¹s ³King and Queen of Pop Culture,² David and Victoria Beckham are rarely out of the headlines. Now, in his sensational, strictly unauthorized new biography, Andrew Morton ‹ author of the best-selling Diana: Her True Story and Monica¹s Story‹ offers a look beyond the stars¹ carefully controlled public image. Through a series of interviews with those in the know, he unfolds the fascinating story of two people struggling to lead ordinary lives, but with a need to keep themselves in the spotlight. He also looks at the dynamics of the Beckhams¹ relationship, including parenthood, the often conflicting demands of their careers, their public profile, and their personal demons. Fully illustrated with color photos. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Author, January 10, 2009
This review is from: Posh & Becks (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished Victoria Beckham's autobiography "Learning to Fly". In it she discusses a horrible court case her and her husband had gone through with this author fighting for this book not to be made. The guy that Andrew Morton's information is based off of was Victoria's old bodygaurd. He was the man believed by the FBI to be the one sending the kidnap and death threats that held the family's lives in fear for years. I would never support a person that disrespected someone that i admire so much.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is LITERALLY a collection of tabloid articles., November 7, 2008
This review is from: Posh & Becks (Mass Market Paperback)
So why did I pay good money for a book which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW other than rehashed tabloid articles?? I could have just read through a newspaper archive. This book is full of "reportedly," "allegedly," "it was claimed," meanwhile, isn't Andrew Morton supposed to be a journalist?? Couldn't he have confirmed or investigated any of these allegations, reports and claims?? This was the worst biography I have read in my life.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, September 8, 2008
This review is from: Posh & Becks (Mass Market Paperback)
I never read a book by this author before, so I didn't have any preconceptions. I was looking for a biography of two celebrities I admire so I could learn more about them and their rise to fame. This book was not a good choice. I can't say I learned anything new of any real interest, and I was put off by the hostile tone of the author, especially toward Victoria Beckham. No one is perfect, but this book really seemed to unfairly accentuate the couples' flaws and downplay their strengths. Nobody deserves to be criticized like that. It was unkind and not a pleasant read. I still admire the Beckhams for their many good qualites, however I'm not so sure about the author.
