Victoria Beckham: Queen of America Hardcover – April 28, 2008

This book was more insightful conccerning her personal life; and though I enjoyed it, I feel as though there's a lot that's left out because this woman looks so unhappy! I've never been much of a smiler for most of my life and the reason is that there wasn't much to smile about. But this woman is supposed to have everything she's ever wanted but she looks like she's crying on the inside and that bothers me. I guess most people would say that I'm wasting my sympathy on a shallow, materialistic individual, but I don't know. I guess time will tell.

To get a close enough encounter to comprehend someone, this book will help you a bit out in the are of getting to know Victoria in a way the media does not represent her! She is a good person, and no different than any one else out there who has strong determination to succeed at what she desires!

VICTORIA BOOK ARE THE BEST WHY ARE YOU NOT READ THEM SHOULD GO GET THEM TODAY I DO MEAN IT

This book begins with Victoria Beckham's childhood and chronicles her early drive to be a performer, her audition with the Spice Girls, meeting David Beckham, the meteoric success of the Spice Girls, the birth of her son and fairy tale wedding to David Beckham. It also describes her struggles to launch a solo singing career after the Spice Girls, her early foray into the fashion industry, the accusations of her husband's infidelity and the Beckham's staunch denials of it. The book also includes the events that led to the Beckhams relocation to America.This is an easy read. It does not whitewash the choices of Victoria Beckham and the Spice Girls when she ends her romantic relationship to concentrate on her career or when the Spice Girls fire their first manager (the man who put them together) to hire a new manager who eventually landed them lucrative commerical endorsements. The book paints a fair picture of Ms. Beckham -the strengths and the weaknesses; the nice and not-so-nice personality traits. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I only gave it 4 stars because I felt some areas of her life were glossed over instead of explored in fuller detail. Maybe that was because substantiated material was not available or it was the author's choice. If you want a fair portrait of Ms. Beckham, read this book.
