Editorial Reviews

Review

'Vintage Sharon . . . fiery and passionate' HEAT 'The formidable Mrs O is just as honest and open in this second instalment of her life story as the first . . . a real page-turner' WOMAN 'Shazza goes even deeper to reveal the secrets behind the headlines' LOOK 'Like Extreme, Survivor is eye-wateringly frank, and very funny' EVENING STANDARD

Product Description

Sharon Osbourne’s life has always been tumultuous, full of both heartbreak and passion. When she completed her bestselling first book Sharon Osbourne Extreme she had hoped to find some peace and stability after her rollercoaster years. It was not to be. In her brand new memoir she reveals what really happened next—from famous celebrity feuds, to her eventful experiences on The X Factor, to her turbulent relationship with her father and the tragic impact of his death, Sharon remains as frank and insightful as ever. Never afraid to admit her own problems, she is brutally honest about her weight issues and plastic surgery. She also describes movingly how her husband’s unconditional love finally brought her true happiness, even amid all the chaos of her life.

Clinton (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews    Sharon has a fascinating life and puts it all out in the open for everyone. While some people might not be as open about their misfortunes, Sharon doesn't sugar coat anything; she tells it all. This book was well written and very personal. Her life is very interesting and how she has put up with Ozzy, I will never know. That must be what true love really is. She is such a hard worker and a great inspiration for women everywhere. I also highly recommend Sharon's first autobiography "Sharon Osbourne Extreme: My Autobiography" and the book "Understanding: Train of Thought". 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Brutally real, and still an enjoyable read..., November 26, 2008 By  ShooShoo "Sherri" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews I was pleasantly surprised to find the next chapter of Sharon's story available so soon after reading the first book. Some may feel she took too much liberty in putting those who've offended her (and/or her family) in their places; but I enjoyed reading her side of these conflicts. I would have liked to read more about Ozzy and the kids, but perhaps not enough time has passed since she told their stories the first time... Instead, she tells of her British chat show, and of her participation in "The Vagina Monologues", "The X Factor", and "America's Got Talent". Sharon shares about health issues she's had resulting from her gastric bypass and other cosmetic surgeries, as well as some scary stalking incidents. She also spends a significant amount of time on how she dealt with the illness, dementia, and ultimately death of her father, Don Arden. She was very open in relating her struggle with taking care of a dad who for years had used and betrayed her (when he should have been protecting her, and looking out for her best interests). It says a lot about her character that she chose the high road, regardless of their history, and did what she could to be there for him during his long and painful decline. It's clear Sharon speaks candidly and from the heart, whether it's shaming those who've pissed her off, or expressing her fiercely loyal love for her husband and children. That must be what makes this such an easy read: Though she lives a lifestyle most of us can barely dream of attaining, she tells her story openly and honestly, in a way to which almost anyone can easily relate.
