Rating: - Fantastic Book and An Inspiration
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

Rating: - great idea
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 Only bad thing about this book is that it's now out of date - a new version with the X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent is overdue.

Rating: - Why on earth would you buy this?

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, ... Read More

Rating: - He Based His Act on Garry Bushell
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 ... Read More
