Summary: Short and sweet, or sweet and short
Review: A fun read for fans of Charlotte that can be read by everyone in the family. No earth shaking words of wisdom, but lots of smiles.

Summary: Music does flow in her blood
Review: After reading this book, you'll know what music is to Charlotte; it's in her. I thought the book was well written. I don't know why some people seem to be passionately against her. One reviewer says Charlotte doesn't write about her music, but that's not true. Most of this book IS about her music! As a matter of fact, I bought "Voice of an Angel" after reading this book. I only wish she showed her Welshness more in the book.

Summary: Gillis
Review: As a child she was remarkable; however, as a young lady she is quite unremarkable. Her talent has not increased with age; furthermore, she has developed an odd public persona in which she seems comfortable playing the role of tart and musical savant. I had expected something much more promising; however, the best that can now be said of her is that she is typical.

Summary: A Shameful Composition
Review: As a one-time Charlotte Church fan, I was expecting to learn something I didn't know about Charlotte, from this reading experience. However, instead of any career revelations, I was only given an insight into the dark side of her personality. To begin with, at 15, there hasn't been enough of a life experience to justify an autobiography. That's why no one else has ever attempted that at the age of 15. However, to the extent that she has had experiences, this book only serves to summarize that which has already been revealed in her TV interviews, website trivia, and CD liner notes. She attempts to embellish upon that with facts and anecdotes about people in her life. However these people appear no more remarkable than those of you who are reading this review. Charlotte attempts to try and convince us that because these relationships were hers, that they are more
special than the rest of us would enjoy. In fact,I found her entire approach to this work surrounded with an aura of conceit; a trait not unnoticed by the London Times which credited her with "the most lethal ego since Descartes". However, with what has been speculated to have been an attempt by Charlotte to spice up an otherwise dull bio, possibly required by the publisher, she reaches an all-time low in autobios when she reveals info early on about her parents, which otherwise should have been left alone. These items include 1) inferences that her mother was promiscuous, 2) doubts regarding the virtues of her own origin, 3) the fact that her father had to be dragged out of a pub by her aunt across the street to complete the wedding ceremony with her mother 4) demeaning statements about her father's ability as a Rugby player, when in fact he was actually National Class. These were items that no one needed to know and should have been left within the family. Another book agenda item appears at the very end of the book where she discusses her experiences on the Heroes For The Planet Show. Its noteworthy that her Voice of an Angel Concert which really launched her career here in the U.S. via PBS is barely touched upon in the book, while she takes 4 pages in an attempt to glorify the HFTP Show. The promotion for the HFTP Show was in fact so controversial (some referred to it as fraudulent) that it sent her CD sales into a tailspin from which they have never fully recovered. People Magazine rated this book as one of the worst for 2001 in its year-ending issue, and I would concur wholeheartedly with that opinion. In conclusion, the only people to whom I would recommend purchasing this book are A) Those contemplating an unauthorized bio of Charlotte, 2) Disciples of Descartes, & 3) The incorrigibly curious, who cannot otherwise locate a copy at their local library. My recommendation to the above is to take advantage of the $6.99 used book price here. Distribution has ceased at retail outlets and a used book reads just as good as a new one.

Summary: Pretty good...
Review: Charlotte can sing a whole lot better than she can write! I wasn't impressed by her biography---too naive for my tastes. It's meant to inspire, but while I didn't toss it down in disgust, it didn't make my best book list. Pass this one by, folks.

Summary: Charlotte Church
Review: Charlotte Church is great! This will not be the best book you've ever read, but if you like books like "The Princess Diaries" where you feel like you are talking to the person it's about, this book is for you. In this book she writes to you like you are her best friend. Being a big fan of hers it was really fascinating. However, I can understand that the writing style of this book would only appeal to teenage girls.

Summary: Wow, no talent and no brains either!
Review: Charlotte Church may seem like an interesting girl and I hate to spoil the rumors, but she is not. Reading this book was like tripping over onto a pair of scissors into my eyes. Of course, reading the book was not as thrilling as that. Charlotte Chruch has no business to ever write again and I pray that her voice don't get broke or she'll have nothing left.
