Extreme: My Autobiography

I'm not a fan of autobiographies & definately not a fan of Sharon Osbourne, so I'd never seen the reality TV show on MTV or the X Factor. But this was one of the most honest & frank autobiographies I've ever read. It details her rise in her father's conmpany & the appalling way she was treated by him, to her love for Ozzy which has always been unconditional despite his demeanours. And you don;t realise how much she has had to put up with, a crazy family, a crazy husband to an extent, plus her children, Aimee who had cancer & Kelly & Jack who have had to go to clinics. Plus her own cancer, her husband's quad bike accident & the theft from her Chilterns home. WHat an amazing inspiration to us.

A very interesting, though outrageous autobiography (0/0 people found this helpful)

Made famous by her reality TV show and as a judge on The X Factor, Sharon Osbourne goes through steps of her life calmly, with an easy-to-understand tone. She reflects on her highs and lows, and depicts her father's financial cruelty. After a while the series of "last straw" events, whether it be Ozzy's attempt to murder her or her father putting her name on his debts, become a little too frequent, but if we are to take everything as true, she's done a very good job with this book. I should also add that there is a lot of very strong language.

My husband bought me this book as I loved watching Mrs O on X Factor. It was an enormous let down. It is crude, badly written and most of the time uses descriptive foul language. I think she likes to shock but after reading the first few chapters - which were a shock - it all became just more of the same. Save your money and spend it on something else. If you really want to know what it is all about, borrow it from the library.

Surprising, this is a really good book ! (0/0 people found this helpful)

I was given this as a gift and didn't really expect to enjoy it BUT I was hooked from the start. Sharon Osbourne has had an eventful life and her tough determined-to-cope style entertains to the end. If you like autobiographies you'll love this...

For any Sharon O fan this book is a must have comodity. Written by a competent author who has organised Osbourne's life- past, present and future. It details her trials and tribulations, warts and all. Making no excuses for her actions Osbourne describes the best and worst incidents of her life in great detail, most of which are very entertaining. The only negative I found in the book was that as a big Ozzy fan I felt I already knew the key aspects of her life quite well. Nonetheless The book is very accurately structured which makes it a good quick read.
