Product Description
Product Description
Jon Roseman's life in showbiz makes the sinking of the Titanic look like a bath-time accident. In his thirty-five years as a leading agent and video producer, Roseman lived through a near-daily diet of dramas, crises and tantrums from some of the world's biggest rock stars and TV celebrities. Those he worked with included The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan,Rod Stewart, Queen and The Eurythmics. He represented Fern Britton, Natasha Kaplinsky, Kate Garraway, Nancy Dell'Olio, Anne Diamond, Roger Cook and the late Jill Dando. Jon also dealt with Richard Branson, Michael Portillo, John Birt, Imran Kahn and David Frost, to name but a few. Jon describes their strange and unpredictable behaviour in vivid detail. No punches are pulled, no egos are spared in this often hilarious and sometimes moving memoir. it never takes itself too seriously. After all, as Roseman says, "We weren't saving lives."

could not put the book down... if this is the first book cannot wait for more... the truth about show business.........
I simply couldn't put the book down. It made my toes curl and I laughed loudly a lot at the raw honesty.
Highly recommended

I loved this book. It is pacey, funny, wry and honest. Jon Roseman is a flawed character, but he knows it, he doesn't take himself too seriously and is well aware of the ephemeral nature of stardom. His memoir is a who's who of the British celebrity scene, at times scandalous but at others touching. It not only takes in the "faces" but also the executives behind the scenes calling the shots. It's written in easy to digest chapters, each one leaving you wanting more. It lifts the lid on the whimsy of celebrity and the capriciousness of telly. My only criticism is that Roseman could have done with a decent proof reader as every now and again a word is missing from the text or the wrong word is used. I wouldn't be surprised if the book was self-published. However it's still a roller-coaster of a read - a ride I didn't want to finish.

Waste of money
I really wouldn't reccomend this book, it dose not say anything that hasn't been said before.

I'm a huge fan of diaries, and I stumbled upon this one. I'd read that it was being taken out of print, so figured I'd put in an order. Read more
