Product Description

Product Description
The newest rising star of the celebrity world, Jodie Marsh found fame as part of the TV series Essex Wives and has established herself as a tabloid favourite. From her unhappy school days and her teenaged nose job to her current success, this is her uncensored story. It includes her very public feud with archrival Jordan and her legendary partying antics in her outrageous outfits - if, that is, a couple of belts can be said to count as clothes at all. She recounts her days as a stripper and Page 3 model and dishes the sexy truth on her passionate affairs with a string of famous boyfriends - some never before publicly named! But Jodie has had her share of tragedy and in her frank story she talks for the first time about the devastating effect that the murder of one of her closest friends had on her. Forthright, sassy, determined and sexy, this is the story of Britain's brightest star.

About the Author
Jodie Marsh was born in Brentwood, Essex, in 1979. The daughter of a millionaire scaffolding contractor, she was educated privately at Brentwood School. She is a model, TV personality and celebrity. This is her first book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The nuts!!!!!!!!, 6 Aug 2006
This review is from: Keeping it Real (Paperback)
Jodie Marsh is my hero. Before I read this book I was just a shy retiring bookworm of a girl who spent most of my time hiding in the library and getting straight As for every single subject. Comedy!! This book was so good I couldn't put it down. I read it from cover to cover in 5 minutes!!!! I had wanted to be a lawyer but Jodie opened my eyes and made me realise what's important in life. Giving men wet dreams forevahhh of course!!!So I got myself a nose job, a tan and a couple of belts and was soon getting my Krispy kremes out at every opportunity.

Very soon mine was the best life EVER yet still there was a little something missing. I re-read the book and realised I'd forgotten to get myself a victim complex, an ego the size of Brentwood and a Z-list friend (well every sexy bird needs somebody to tell them how wonderful they are and hold their hair back while they throw up ). Luckily there was a list of specially recommended z-list friends at the back of the book and I managed to bag none other than The Frosties Kid!!!!! I took him to my brother's gig (which he loved) and then Sugar Hut. People everywhere were doing double-takes as he walked past. Nobody could quite believe that a legend like The Frosties Kid would be in little ol' Brentwood!

I didn't forget what Jodie had taught me about how important it is to stay in touch with the youth of today either, so we had a cheeky snog too. Filth! My mate Paul Weller is going to see if he can get him a record deal too so you could soon be boogying on down to a funky dance remix of "It's gonna be great".You heard it here first, people!

Well I'd better go now as bare buttocks and leather seats are not a good combination in this heat and I can hear The Frosties kid shouting me. He must have somehow managed to wriggle out of those handcuffs and take his gag out. Comedy! Just wanted you all to know how great my life has become since I read Jodie's book. My life is just a whirlwind of neverending excitement. I get to go to wicked places and mix with faces like Dean Gaffney, Timmy Mallet and the bloke who used to play Roland on Grange Hill. At least that's who he said he was when I asked for his name the next morning (so that I could rate his sexual performance and then print the score onto a T-shirt obviously! Duh)

Right I really am off now. Just re-positioning my leather nipple tassles and kissing my PETA "Animals are not ours to wear" poster before I go. Keeping it real you might say.

Oh and I would have given this book 5 stars but one of the dot to dot puzzles was a bit too difficult was well hard and also there were no free crayons to colour in the pictures.

love you lots
xxxxxx

1.0 out of 5 stars Just Awful!, 27 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I feel really sorry for Jodie Marsh and I don't think its all her fault. Where on earth were her parents when she was growing up. Did they not instil in her any morsel of common decency and self respect - just terrible. Her book is badly written, full of nothing but her sexual exploits and quite frankly was obviously just written to make a fast buck. Jodie, get a grip girl before its too late and start having some self respect and then maybe others will respect you too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Actually it's not bad...., 28 Jul 2008
By Zara (Belfast) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Normally I don't read autobiographies but I picked this up in a charity shop and bought it more out of curiousity than anything else. I didn't know much about Jodie Marsh except that she was a glamour model who turned up to launch parties wearing practically nothing. I saw her being bullied on Celebrity Big Brother and felt very sorry for her. Reading this book, which was very easy to read, and surprisingly somewhat of a pageturner, I actually found myself sympathising with the author and both liking and disliking her at the same time. I disliked her for writing personal things in her books about her exes and giving them marks out of ten for their performances in bed yet I liked her for being a fun party girl who wasn't afraid to speak her mind and dare to put herself out there despite her knockbacks and her critics. Jodie Marsh is something of a contradiction. She has a warm heart and was particularly devastated by the death of one of her close friends which she describes in the book. I was actually crying when I read that bit, but her desperation to be liked and accepted by the public is a bit disturbing. The glamour model comes across a kind of a lost soul but I did enjoy reading her book though and I hope she sorts herself out and does well in the future.
