Sharon Osbourne Survivor

Loved reading this. If you like Sharon Osbourne you will love the way she has written her book. It is informative about her life and family, it is quirky the way she has written it and entertaining to boot. This one is a really good read.

Strange lady/ Strange book (1/2 people found this helpful)

I only read this book cos I got it for 25p. After reading her first book I thought 'I don't like Sharon Osbourne' now I'm convinced of it. She is deluded enough to think that she has the right to criticise whomever she pleases (without censor or consideration) but God help anyone who has a less than glowing opinion of her or her odd family (You may get a parcel of human faeces through the post). If she was evenhanded in her comments I would accept her views despite disagreeing with her many times, but she takes such a lofty stance sometimes, its easier to dismiss her and write her off as an attention seeking toddler in a mature lady's (surgically enhanced) body. Don't waste your money on this tosh.

Pointless Sequel (1/1 people found this helpful)

Obviously a cash in deal but a sequel is pointless - this is more a whos who and who i know in the business and nothing more. The flair of her first book outing has vanished and its almost like the pound signs have flashed before her eyes before writing (ghost writing) this book. Not good.

Big hair, big mouth! (4/4 people found this helpful)

I really enjoyed Sharon Osbourne's first autobiography "Extreme", it was a hair raising true story and a juicy read to boot. However, this sequel is more or less a list of arguments and feuds she has had with various people. It depicts how someone treated her, what she thinks of them, and what she said to them. Its a bit one sided and she more or less has the same arguments and the same reactions to a host of different people, almost all of them famous. I can't say I agree with her behaviour, she is very rarely sorry, and I can't help feeling a bit uncomfortable with how she talks to people sometimes (I think she grossly overdid her dressings down of Chris Tarrant and Piers Morgan). I also thought it a bit odd that the book is dedicated to her dog Minnie. However, Sharon is undoubtedly her family's champion and will protect them fearlessly, even if the slight is perceived rather than true. She certainly sings Ozzy's praises which is only right, being his wife. However, I did balk a little at her boasts of how he has been famous for forty years and changed the face of both rock music and television. Lovable as he comes across, that does sound a little tall for a man who is a good heavy metal singer and songwriter.
There are also anecdotes where Sharon has obviously been a dreadful show off, stealing limelight, the thunder and the show whenever possible and I am sure that would grate on the nerves of many. Still, she really knows what she's talking about when she is managing Ozzy's career and their business affairs and she openly admits her talk show was a turkey. Having said all this, I can't deny its a cracking read, and I also can't deny that much as I want to, I just can't seem to dislike her, annoying as she can be.

A Faa-bulous Memoir! (3/4 people found this helpful)

When I found out that Sharon had a new book out, I just had to buy a copy. I have just finished reading it and have to say, what a fantastic, totally honest, gripping and hilarious autobiography this really is, as fearless as the lady herself.
Sharon thinks nothing of name dropping and tells her story just how it was, you really have to admire the lady's curriage and can't help but love her.
"Survivor" makes for compulsive reading and has the reader longing for more. I for one, was in fits of laughter as I read what Sharon has to say about her enermies and was on more than one occasion, touched.
This is a must have autobiography for all Sharon Osbourne fans.
