Title: Sympathy for a Spice Girl
Review: I liked this book a lot, but not for the reasons that others have cited. If Only is a perfect example of the celebrity "autobiography". While a little disjointed it tracks a path from humble beginnings to superstardom. It shows some clear signs of a coauthors knowing hand, but remains just disjointed enough to present an authentic voice.No hard hitting expose's here. Nearly everyone Geri meets is at least nice. And it makes a point to emphasize that she was born in 1972. Personally, I find more to admire in the fact that this woman who is _clearly_ older is still pulling the age trick off. Even if there is a slip up a couple of chapters in when she describes being touched by the wedding of Charles and Diana. In 1986. Clearly the consistantcy fairy slipped a bit.It's a vastly entertaing read, and I look forward to the second volume, some 20 years from now when she no longer feels the need to be nice.
Is the review positive or negative?
