Product Description

Review

Explosive revelations, backstage gossip and lots of theatrical excess are generously seasoned with spicy secrets of his own murky past and make this book exactly what one might expect from this larger than life character.
--reFRESH, Jan / Feb 09 issue


Review

"With his autobiography causing a stir - thanks to Craig's tales of his time as a rent boy, a drag queen and a happily married heterosexual"

"Reading Craig's bizarre but heartbreaking life story, he's more stiletto in the glitter than stig in the mud!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Darling................, 5 Sep 2008
By Alison Rose "AP" (Swindon Wilts) - See all my reviews
Got this yesterday and have just finished - really good read!
Not all about Strictly as there is so much more to Craig than that - but enough Strictly for the fan.
What a life this man has had - I'm not going to include spoilers in this review you will have to read it for yourself - but its a page turner that is for sure!
Nice glittery bits on the cover :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A-MA-ZING!, 14 Sep 2008
By Buddy Lancaster (London, UK) - See all my reviews
All Balls and Glitter was a sensational read - I could'nt put it down.

What ever you thought of Craig from Strictly (acid tongued and critical) certainly portrays himself in a very different light and openly exposes his secret past. He takes us back to his childhood of rural Australia and his desperate actions to get him out of a miserable childhood. Taking the reader on a wonderful and colorful journey to how Craig became the judge we all love to hate.

It has gossip, truth, scandal, sex and love everything you want in a good Barbara Cartland !! But this is Craigs real life and is no fictional story ! A wonderful addictive read.

It appeals to everybody, and highly recommend this book its certainly not DULL DULL DULL !!

2.0 out of 5 stars NO GLITTER, 21 Oct 2008
By Mrs. J. A. Palfree "Julia" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Every time I fall into the 'Autobiography' trap, I swear I will never be caught again. Just because someone has led an interesting/extraordinary life, it does not follow that they can share this with us in writing! Craig Revel Horwood's book illustrates the point. Dreary, dull, lifeless writing. Craig.....you needed a ghost writer, or at the very least a crash course in creative writing!

Borrow a copy before you buy....wish I had!
