Product Description
Product Description
This insightful biography tells the story of how it happened. It includes the secret writing and recording sessions which led to the official announcement of a new album and goes behind the headlines that said Robbie was to rejoin. And it also tells the whole story of the UK's best-loved boy band. Take That are wiser since their mid-1990s split. Robbie Williams' debut solo album, Life Thru a Lens, went to No 1 and he had a massive hit with 'Angels'. But after an equally celebrated follow-up he began to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. A Robbie-less Take That outdistanced him. The new album comes 20 years after the band first got together as young hopefuls under Manchester manager Nigel Martin Smith. Singer-songwriter Gary Barlow was 19, 18-year-old Mark Owen had tried out as a footballer, Howard Donald was a 21-year-old painter and Jason Orange was a 19-year-old decorator. With the youngest member Robbie Williams, who joined at 16, they went on to sell more than 25 million records in their original incarnation - becoming one of the biggest acts of the 1990s.

In a word.....Rubbish! This book is just word for word copied interviews, articles, dvd snippets etc that real fans would have already heard, read and seen. I was really disappointed. Anyone could sit and watch an old interview and write it down word for word - which is the extent of this 'authors' research. There is NOTHING new here for a true fan. I'd give it no stars if I could.

This book is terrible. Yes, it is copied articles etc but it is also factually incorrect. A true Take That fan knows that the Cutest Rush story was fabricated by Nigel Martin-Smith in order to make the band seem less manufactured! Jason and Howard were NOT in rival dance troupes!
If the author had bothered to read Gary's My Take or Robbie's Feel they would know this.
Do not buy this book if you are a true Take That fan. It will annoy you!

I have read quite a lot of books about Take That and Robbie Williams, and I have to say that this book contains things that I have never read about them and each page I read, I can't wait to turn to the next one.
