Rating: - Must have for GA fans!!
As someone who has followed Girls Aloud passionately since they very first got together on Popstars The Rivals, I feel this book is long overdue. Other reviews say this book lacks substance but I wonder what they expect, the girls to all criticise each other and cause rifts when they are still very much together!?!
Its basically the story right from the start and there was a lot in there that was new to me, I remember all the times in the book but its good to know how each girl felt about things at the time (and they didn't always feel great and happy!). Certain stories from Cheryl had me laughing out loud especially things she said and did at the start of the band when she was new to the industry.
The book is also packed with gorgeous photos, some of them candids which us GA fans hadn't seen before, it is simply a must buy for anyone who loves the girls!!
I am sure in many years to come with her current fame Cheryl will get her own autobiography and she will be more honest ... Read More

Rating: - Disturbing night time listening
Girls aloud have revealed the darker side of an imaginery dream world where they often hold residence sorting out the day to day issues of ghouls. Unfortunately malignant spirits have hi-jacked the Christian soup bus where this takes place and are repeatedly driving at low speeds past a terraced house where Boba Fet is trying to get some shut eye.

Rating: - Stunning piece of history
I thought this book was a beautiful insight into the girls lives.This book reveals all of the girls true dreams and desires before the band and for the future. With their northern humor all of the girls present some stomach clenching moments which will have you laughing for hours, whilst creating some stunning imagery of their evryday lives, tour life and group performances.

Any negative thoughts you may have once had about the girls will disapear as you get close and personal to every girl and discover they are not diva's or spoilt but are truely inspiring women.

There are many beauty tips provided in this books along with a reveal of what the girls use to keep them selves beautiful.

A great read and certainly one you won't be able to put down.

Rating: - Just one long interview
I think this is a book for real fans only. I was expecting the story of from when Girls Aloud won Popstars The Rivals to present day, but although it did start out roughly from the beginning, it then jumps around all over the place. It nevers seems to be able to concentrate on one particular person but all 5 girls contribute with their thoughts on the particular subject of the chapter, which means that it never really flows as a story.
I would have preferred the book to be split into equal seperate sections on each girl giving her story from the start to present day, but this is just like reading one long interview. If I wanted that I could have bought Heat.
Sorry to upset the real fans but I cannot recommend this book if you are looking for an autobiography.

Rating: - Enjoyable
I enjoyed this book but I agree with some people that there could have been far more substance to it. As Girls Aloud have said though there is alot that had to be left out due to their younger fans. It is an enjoyable read though and it is interesting to see that we think of them as being very manufactured yet this book describes how they were pretty much left to find their own way without much help and guidance.
