Book Reviews of If OnlyBook Review: Geri Halliwell in writing Summary: 5 Stars
I loved "everythang" about the bio! Geri Halliwell tells it like it is. I found Geri to be Quite straight forward and optimistic. The ex Spicegirl has been down an obviously "bumpy" road, to reach her fame. "If only..." digs deep into her life, almost word for word, as she lived it. As an avid bio reader, I chose this book to add to my collection. In many ways can this book relate to the "on the go" lifestyle of many pop or rock stars.The book contains 18 pages of rare photos of the blonde beauty, revealing some censored photos of the past. She tells how her "late blooming" led to her first attempts at a career going nowhere. She sees herself as somewhat of a "chameleon", as her style had changed almost day in and day out. Some parts of the book are emotional, seeing she wrote the book, so you can imagine how the girl felt. I call this book a definite "gem" for her fans "If only..." is a great handbook or guide to keep oneself on track. I wish the book were to be released with an interview VHS. Maybe one day there'll be one. Most books are commercial and full of useless talk, but Miss Halliwell has written a hard to put down book. I was also amazed at just how well the Spicegirls worked as a team. True teamwork and Girl-power, I say! I have 2 feelings about the overall of the bio. One is that I have found the book a bit too wordy, but then again, she gets her point across pretty well! For Halliwell fans, get the book! You won't regret it.
Summary of If OnlyShe dreamed of becoming a pop star. She fought her way through personal obstacles to emerge--against overwhelming odds--as an international pop sensation: Ginger Spice of the supergroup the Spice Girls. Then, at the height of her fame, Geri Halliwell walked away from it all.
If Only is the inspiring story of Halliwell's roller-coaster journey from insecure teenager to nineties' pop superstar. With wry humor and rare candor, she reveals the hunger for love and acceptance that propelled her from her working-class beginnings to fame beyond her wildest dreams.
She shares candid thoughts about her battle with bulimia...her unforgettable meeting with Prince Charles...her ongoing quest for spiritual fulfillment...the real reason she left the Spice Girls. And she takes us inside the mind and heart of the outrageously dressed performer whose public persona shouted "Girl Power!" yet who constantly strove to discover who she really was.
When she left the Spice Girls in 1998--with a string of number one hits behind her--she was ready to stop being Ginger Spice and start becoming Geri Halliwell. Today, at twenty-seven, she has already embarked on a new journey--a platinum solo album, three number one singles, and the inspirational role of Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations--rushing toward a future filled with success, fulfillment, and, hopefully, no regrets.
