Review

'Never in the history of Big Brother has one fella won so many hearts.' - Heat 'There's nothing not to like about Pete, he's just so totally sweet and lovely.' - Kim and Aggie from How Clean is Your House


Product Description

W**kers! Cheese! Eeezamanna! Pete Bennett, the 24-year-old Tourette's sufferer who shot to fame as winner of Big Brother 7, stole the nation's heart with his outrageous, loveable nature. Pete's incredible autobiography reveals what the tabloids didn't see. His story will make you cry, have you in stitches, and inspire you with its amazing honesty. Suffering with Tourette's Syndrome since the age of five, Pete was only properly diagnosed at 14. Here he talks openly about his agony growing up with Tourette's, and how he used humour and his musical ability to cope with his frightening attacks. Pete reveals his true feelings about his dad abandoning him when he was six, and his close relationship with his mother, Anne. Pete shares intimate details about his escape into wild sex parties, the horrific death of his best friend, and his thoughts of suicide until Big Brother 'saved his life'. From the moment Pete decided to enter Big Brother so his mum wouldn't have to work in a fast food chain, he had the entire nation glued to their TV screens. But beneath his quirky and hilarious antics, it was Pete's refreshing innocence and lack of fame-seeking that made him the most popular (and fancied) housemate Big Brother has ever seen. In his own unique style, Pete tells us what he really thought about life in the BB house, how it felt to be a secret heartthrob and confidante to all the girls who vied for his affections, including Aisleyne, Lea, Lisa. Find out what has happened since Pete left the house, from his romance with Nikki, Queen of Tantrums, to his huge new record deal with his band, Daddy Fantastic. Heart-rending and moving, hilarious and outrageous, Pete's story is an unique insight into a truly inspiring individual.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an amazing book. , 13 Nov 2006
By S. Hawkes "Shazam" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the most inspirational book that I have ever read. I found it very hard to put down, always being drawn into the next chapter. pete gives a very honest account of his turbulent life. Although it is very sad in parts, I found myself howling with laughter at times and found it very amusing.It also shows what an amazing and strong person his mother was for getting the best possible help available for him, which has helped Pete turn out to be the incredible guy that he is today. If you didn't fall in love with Pete Bennett when he was in Big Brother, you will after reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, 7 Nov 2006
By L. Bowman "Elby" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A well written book that has come from the heart. I was either laughing or crying sometimes both! The stories of his struggle to be accepted by socety and his refusal to let society change him were heart warming to read, his life long battle with Tourettes Syndrome and the treatment he recieved from other people was heartbreaking to read. His sense of humour has really been captured and shown that despite eveything he has been through, he is not bitter or resentful. He is a truly wonderful person and this book is a wonderful chance for everybody to learn what has made him the person he is today.

5.0 out of 5 stars PETE - MY STORY, 7 Nov 2006
By E. Graham (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Moving and fascinating read. Made me laugh and also made me cry, as Pete describes the torments of his life with Tourette's, the bullying, on dealing with the loss of his friend and finding himself, Perfect Pete, with winning BB7.

Pete has gone through so much and still manages to make people smile with his caring and sensitive ways. Hope this book leads him to true happiness, which he undoubtably deserves.
