Catch a fire the autobiography melanie brand

The only con I can say about this book is that she is too young to have written a truly grasping autobiography. She's only been through odd years of life. I love Mel B and this book is sooo interesting you'll never wanna put it down! Tons of pictures , funny and paints the perfect picture of who she really is. I really enjoyed reading this book over the summer.

She writes one entire section a long one at that in diary entries from the time, which give you some good, solid insight, but are also tiring to read. The Bottom Line: A worthwhile read for any Spice fan, you'll still learn tons you'd never heard before. Anything Memorable: I think it was just over the last week Mel B was quoted as saying some Spicey things might be on the horizon minus Victoria?!?!?!

Also as with the other bios, reading them after the fact actually makes them more interesting as you know where Mel's career goes despite her optimism at the end of this book and that the Spice Girls indeed make a triumphant albeit brief return. April Denise. I got all the way to page before I decided to stop reading. It was just too long, slow and very boring.

I thought once she joined the group the story would pick up and it would get exciting. She should have talked a lot less about that part and got to the part most people actually care about which is the part when she was a member of the Spice Girls. The journal entries were also annoying. Not when there are tons of other books on my TBR I could actually be enjoying.

I enjoyed this book more than I expected. It was also interesting to hear about the aftermath of their world tour and that many changes happened simply as they were growing up and having families. It is brutally honest and she comes across as a lot warmer than I would have expected. Eden Silverfox. Melaine B has always been my favorite Spice Girl and I was so happy to be able to read about her life.

The book talks of her early life quite a bit, I don't think it focuses on the Spice Girls as much Geri's and Victoria's books do, that is okay though. I really enjoyed reading about her early life, her mom's family sounds a bit crazy I can tell you that. I thought this book was wonderful though, well-written. She has done so much in her life so far and it is really amazing to read about.

It's sad to read about her marriage to Jimmy, she truly loved him and it just didn't work out. Makes you feel really bad for her, but she comes out of it fine and much stronger then before. Very good book if your interested in learning more about the life of Scary Spice from the Spice Girls. I find this book to be interesting She was a normal person But what made her successful was her diligence, hard work, and belief in herself.

She also know her aims After reading this, I have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised at just how normal the girls behind the Spice Girls really are. Sure, they became quite famous, but when you get right down to it, they're just normal people who got thrown into that. Now, I'm not saying that there weren't a few times when I just wanted to roll my eyes at some of the things Melanie talks about in the book, but I just chalk that up to her being a BIT more outrageous than me.

It was overly long; spent too much time on her pre-Spice years and then was much more vague during the Spice years and beyond. It was an OK read but I found myself skimming it more than reading it, especially near the end. Devin Tait. It was nice to read yet another viewpoint of the Spice Girls phenomenon, as I'd already read both of Geri's book, and Victoria's.

I was interested in her marriage to Jimmy Gulzar although I felt like some details were left out. The book was a little overly long and spent too much time in my opinion on her pre-Spice days, but overall it was a good read. I did enjoy this book, a very honest insight into scary spices life. Could do with less about realationships in it, and more about the girls friendship.

The diary forms got quite irritating, however mel does show her vunerable side in this book, a sight rarely seen before. Zeta T. She remembered the fun stuff! Winter Sophia Rose. Learning to Fly. Victoria Beckham. Next set of slides. Review It's all here: the council estate childhood; the formation of the Spice Girls; the early months of being groomed for stardom; the subsequent global domination; Geri's departure; the marriage - and acrimonious divorce - to the strangely passive Jimmy Gulzar; the birth of Phoenix Chi unlikely names being de rigueur for pop-star sprogs ; the solo career and the move into TV presenting.

As few people in the Western world have not heard of Melanie B, the in-your-face loudmouth who is a member of one of the most popular bands of all time, interest is guaranteed. Is she too young to tell her own story? Perhaps - but the fans will ensure healthy sales before the Spice Girls join all the other pass pop groups cluttering up the remainder bins.

Born to a working-class mixed-race family from Leeds her mother took extra work cleaning toilets to pay for her dancing lessons , Melanie B grew up feeling different from her schoolfriends. Her hyperactive energy was channelled into drama school, and in , as the story famously goes, the Spice Girls were formed.
