Product Description

The Sun, August 11, 2006
A 'lively page-turner'

Product Description
Summer 1998: Billie, aged fifteen, explodes on to the celebrity scene as the youngest artist ever to debut at number one. A record-breaker - and a rule-breaker - from the start, her chart triumph marked the beginning of a rollercoaster journey that continues to this day. From her failed marriage to Chris Evans to her hugely successful switch to acting, Billie has experienced a hell of a lot in her blistering career - and now the highs and lows of her remarkable life are laid bare in this, the first biography of the "Doctor Who" darling. Following Billie as she grows up in the harsh glare of stardom - achieving exceptional acclaim in her chosen fields, but suffering, too, from health scares, vicious tabloid rumours, and even death threats - Chris Stevens takes us on an emotional expedition, revealing Billie's innermost thoughts and her responses to her extraordinary experiences. Whether describing her marriage to a millionaire sixteen years her senior, her travels around the world as a teen idol, or battles with aliens in the revamped "Doctor Who" series, "Billie Piper" gets up close and personal with this pop-princess-turned-sci-fi-sweetheart, who grew from her child-star roots to emerge successful, sassy and superbly down-to-earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Because we want to! Because we want to!, 19 Jul 2006
By Rachel (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews
What a great little book- I can't believe how much Billie has done in her life and she's still only 23! The bits on her marriage to Chris Evans were fascinating, as were the insights into Dr Who and the book even includes her recent drug and drink revelations. This is the perfect read for your summer holidays!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Learn more about the ex-Mrs Evans, 23 Oct 2007
By L. Felthouse "Avid reader and published writer" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I'll be honest, I saw this in a shop for 99p so thought 'why not?' But I do actually love Billie in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, so I thought it couldn't hurt to know a bit more about her other than she used to be married to Chris Evans. And now I know a fair bit more about her. Of course, you don't know how true some of this is given it's not an 'official' autobiography, but the other does seem to have cited every last source, and some of the stories and quotes come from friends, friends and colleagues. So I won't be completely skeptical about its authenticity.

Taken for what it is, a book about Billie Piper's life so far, it's very good. It's told in a coherent and interesting way, and is objective. The author doesn't seem to have any opinion about Billie one way or the other, or if he does, then he doesn't let it come across in the book. He tells stories that are good and bad, and seems to be very thorough about getting both sides of the story. It simply documents exactly what the cover says - "The rollercoaster life of Britain's hottest star." And it's interesting and makes you see exactly what child stars have to go through, and I must say it's amazing that Billie hasn't turned into one of these drug-taking, rehab-resident train-wrecks, aka Britney Spears. So give her her dues. Well done Ms. Piper.

If you like Billie, or are just mildly interested in celebrities then you could do worse than pick up this book. It whiled away a few hours of my life anyway.
