This is a brilliant book and I found it most useful when watching 'A Star is Born' as I would turn it to the date of certain nights of the competition and you would see just how Will was feeling on that night. Once started I couldn't put it down and I admit to reading it over and over again. A must for any Will young fan.

Will Young is a totally charming young man, and his charm comes through loud and clear in his book. He speaks of his strengths with no false modesty, and he talks of his weaknesses with no hesitation. His diary entries of his experiences in the Pop Idol contest reveal much that I did not see on the DVD (living in the US, I did not see the television show), and it gave me greater insight into the process, and into Will's character. He is a young man who, after reading the book, you feel you would like to meet and spend time with. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who saw the Pop Idol series and wants to know more about this remarkable young man!

This is Wills story based upon the diary he kept during his whole Pop Idol experience. Taking us from his first audition all the way to the nail biting final when he proved he was our true Pop Idol. Not only is it a facinating read it also proves that apart from being a fantastic singer, he's also an incredibly genuine and extremley nice guy, telling a very honest and at times very funny account of what happened to him along the way.

A must for Will fans!
This has been one of the best books that I have read this year so far. Will tells his story of the Pop Idol journey with sensitivity, humour and his head on straight. Read more
