All you could possibly want to know about Tom Jones and more! A must for all fans of his. Even my husband enjoyed reading this biography and he's not even a fan! Younger generations should read this to find about more about the man and his music, which is enjoying a serious comeback at the moment.

I am thoroughly enjoying this book. It is just the right blend of facts, good writing, and juicy snippets about Tommy's sex life (let's face it - many female fans want to know!). Eggar has done an outstanding job here. Highly recommended.

This book turned Tom Jones from just another pop star into a real person for me. I hadn't read much about him before, but this could be a novel about a boy that starts off poor and makes it to the top - only all the better for being true.

Has Tom Jones authorised this?
Having been a fan of Tom's since 1970 I am very disappointed by his attitude and behaviour. I am desperate to know how true all this is - and if it is I shall not wish to attend... Read more

Definitely the best biography of Tom Jones yet.
I only discovered I loved Tom Jones in the past three years and it was very hard to get any information about him. Robin Eggar's book is well balanced and well written. Read more
