Review
"'Exactly the kind of scandal-probing stuff a fan would crave and it's a compulsive read.' - Heat; 'Contains riveting revelations.' - Hot Stars, OK Magazine"
From the Publisher
“I’m rich beyond my wildest dreams!” announced Robbie Williams on signing the biggest–ever deal in British recording history. Yet, as a self–confessed exhibitionist regularly hounded by the world media, he gives little away about the real man behind the cocky façade. Based on exclusive interviews with those closest to Williams—from ex–managers and girlfriends, to friends and family—Robbie Williams: Angels and Demons is the definitive account of his phenomenal journey to the top, offering plenty of riveting revelations. From his early beginnings to international stardom; his near self–destruction through drink and drugs to the song that “saved his life”; and his troubled love life to his current status as Britain’s top pop performer, this is the most intimate portrait of Robbie Williams to date.

By JT (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robbie Williams: Angels & Demons - The Unauthorized Biography (Hardcover)
please don't take too much of this book to heart. Rock stars of this caliber need to protect themselves and not give up too much info about their personal life. Personally, I get a kick out of how he plays with the media and keeps everyone guessing. I was fortunate enough to meet him in his own home and even spend a good deal of time in his house with him and his crew. As far as the MTV Cribs thing being a big lie - I designed the media systems in his house and believe me those cars are real... except the Bentley, I think, but he said that in the interview. Whether he actually drives them? Who cares? If I had that much dough, I'd have someone cart me around LA as well.

Illusions...,
By Emma (Portland, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robbie Williams: Angels & Demons - The Unauthorized Biography (Hardcover)
Having been a fan of Rob since his first chord in Take That, I was extremely disappointed by some of the revelations in this author's work. It's one of two things... Either the author, Paul, is extremely jealous/bitter about Rob's success... or it's all pretty much true with some hearsay mixed in, and it's not a very good reflection upon his personality. He struck a nerve when he mentioned... women always want to have sex with him and then 'fix' him. Reading about his serious drug and alchohol addiction almost put me off because of the type of person he seemed to turn into when he was under the influence. I'm extremely open minded, so the slight jibes that he might actually be gay, they didn't bother me half as much as hearing Kinsella apparently quoted that 'he was an extremely boring man.' 'Not much to talk about'. 'Self obsessed'... This was disturbing and I have to say, this piece of work has influenced the way I see Rob for forever... I'm a transplanted Brit too.. and I understand that no one here was privy to his tormented years in the late nineties, but if he doesn't make it, oh well. May he find whatever it is he's so desperately searching for (and get his driver's licence on the way. What disappointment to find out he doesn't even drive and hasn't passed his test) This means the LA version of Cribs was a big lie. And the gay men in his lounge may well have been indicative of his true preference. Oh well, he has the ability to be a great entertainer, but for God's Sake Rob, Get over yourself!
