Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Just for the Record is the second autobiography from ex-Spice Girl, dog lover and United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, Geri Halliwell. In If Only Geri charted her "rags to riches" journey from Watford to the point at which she dramatically left the Spice Girls. In this sumptuously illustrated book she candidly explains "what happened next".

Her post Spice Girls life has not, it emerges, been easy. Having buried "Ginger Spice", Geri admits it has been a struggle to shake off her old image and establish herself as solo artist. While she did eventually manage to clock up four No. 1 singles and two Top 10 albums, she was plagued by stalkers and the tabloid press and battled with depression and a serious eating disorder. She confesses to regularly starving herself and to bingeing on a chocolate cake fished out of a rubbish bin. The most unnerving thing about this book is the contrast between the images it contains and some of Halliwell's more painful reminiscences.

The story has a happy ending: with the help of friends George Michael and Robbie Williams, Geri managed to beat her eating disorders. She now advocates eating well and exercising regularly and seems, even with a somewhat flagging musical career, genuinely content with her lot. The prurient will be disappointed to find she only has nice words for ex-lover Chris Evans and her former colleagues. Wannabes everywhere will find this girl still has the power to charm. --Travis Elborough

5.0 out of 5 stars Back - and Better than EVER!, 11 Sep 2002
We all knew it would happen, we all knew it would be good - but what we didn't expect was such a magnificently artistic and glossily finished product!

Geri Halliwell has to be the most famous woman in UK Pop at the moment (Calm down, Kylie is australian!) She is certainly the most talked about!

Like us all, Geri is human - not that many of the public would know it, after the battering the press have given her recently. This book revelas a fragile and very vulnerable side to a girl the nation should admire and hold up as an icon of our time.

The book is substantial, glossy and extremely clever. You would be abnormal to be able to put this down halfway through!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures!, 28 Sep 2007
I think that this book has great pictures of Geri. The stories are also very good but I'm still wishing that there would have been more essential information about her. Anyway, this book a must for Geri Halliwell fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor, 10 Jan 2003
I dont know why anybody would be interested in this No talent, wrong side of middle age "singer" oh, woops. I forgot she cant sing. Totally boring book...Not sure how u can have 2 autobigraphies (probably make more money that way) so Expect more autobiogs to come our way I guess. Perhaps something more interesting might happen in the next one. Which I am sure I will not read

2.0 out of 5 stars An attempt by Geri to get more spending money.
This book is not worth the money. The actual read once you get past the hundred or so pictures of Geri's new body is very short and uninformative. What a big dissapointment. Read more
