Summary: Fantastic Book and An Inspiration
Comment: I thought this book was very honest and says it all about what really happens in the Entertainment business, its all about connections. It also shows that if you have ambition no matter what age you are you can still achieve your goals. Fabulous

Summary: great idea
Comment: I think this book was written by Simon's brother which was a great idea as it means he has all the details of their childhood - which reads like something out of a film! You can see why Simon was so steeped in the entertainment business as a boy, having met so many big stars. Only bad thing about this book is that it's now out of date - a new version with the X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent is overdue.

Summary: Okay read for the price paid?
Comment: I bought this book 2 weeks ago on a whim.... and to be honest I was slightly disappointed.
Why?
Well,its my own fault really as I didn't actually look to see when this book first came out and with it saying fully updated I assumed it would be up to the present day.Duh!!!
Anyway,I digress,it ends where Michelle McManus won Pop Idol so its quite old but even so,I would have liked more spice and juicy insider gossip to what it actually contains.I'm sure there was a lot more he could have told us about Westlife,Louis Walsh, Randy Jackson and Paul Abdul,Simon seems to be mincing his words for once!
Anyway,for the price I paid [which wasn't much],it wasn't a bad read and it did pass a few hours.
PS Simon,your predictions about which famous couple would stay together weren't very good where they???

Summary: Why on earth would you buy this?
Comment: Why on earth would anyone want to read a book about Simon Cowell? The man has no personality and every page is full of dribble. The man knows how to make money from other people's talent and how to be nasty simply because he is so damn miserable and has nothing nice to say about anything. Entertaining on screen perhaps but for only so long and this book is just boring.
I've read Gordon Ramsey's books but Gordon's an achiever in comparison and doesn't have his head up his own arse. Sorry, not a book worth reading I'm afraid. I borrowed it from a friend as I would not spend money on his book. I don't support Cowell, I'm not a fan and would never want to be him, even with all the money he has in the bank. I don't think he is even happy being him. Those expensive cars he drives at night with the roof down and lights on (inside the car!) just so everyone can see his face just confirms the fact Cowell is all about EGO and nothing else. That's why he can only write abook about himself. As boring as he is. Maybe something he can read at night. As for the gneral public.... don't bother.

Summary: He Based His Act on Garry Bushell
Comment: A brilliant book that tells the story of X Factor guru Simon Cowell - the man who made Robson & Jerome.
The biog contains plenty of exclusives and my only `sadness` is that Simon doesnt pay tribute to Garry Bushell and admit that he based his Mr Nasty act on TV pundit Gal Bushell or admit that Britain Has Got Talent is based on Bushells TV show `Big Night Out`.
Please can you change this in the reprint Simon?
In fact Bushell and Cowell have a lot in common.
Simon discovered Paul Potts.
And Garry discoverd Frankie Flame...and both taught Piers Morgan all he knows.
Garry Bushell was his mentor at The Sun and Simon his mentor on TV.
A great book that is on a par with Bushell On The Box by Garry Johnson.
