Top 10 celebrity autobiography books
Celebrities invariably have interesting stories to tell because the highly pressured lives they lead make them interesting to other people and interesting stories are therefore bound to hatch. Below we look at ten of the most popular celebrity autobiographies of recent times and give you a little taste of what you can expect when you dive head first into someone else’s life.
In no particular order…
One
It’s Not What You Think – Chris Evans
A surprising addition to a top 10 list, after all you can’t really imagine that the ginger television personality would have a great deal to talk about. But if that’s your assumption, you would be wrong, because Evans had a tough upbringing – one that he only narrowly pulled through from – and his intelligent and witty writing makes this book a serious page turner.
Two
My Booky Wooky – Russell Brand
Controversial. This book is a must read for all Brand fans and everyone else. Whether you like him or not this is one seriously addictive journey so be prepared to ride the rollercoaster with the big-haired comedian and cling on tight.
Three
Losing My Virginity – Richard Branson
A book full of truly remarkable achievements, one that at the same time as making you say “wow!” also makes you really believe that you could achieve it yourself if you put your mind to it. Many will be able to relate Branson’s story and what it does especially well is make you realise that the academic route does not play to everybody’s strengths.
Four
Dream from My Father – Barack Obama
The death of his father is the catalyst for his entire life and career and it is incredible to see just what a difference the tragic news made to him and how it made it the most powerful man in the world.
Five
A Journey – Tony Blair
This book caused a stir when it came out but it’s a must-read for all those interested in how and way Britain has changed over the last few years and what exactly Blair was thinking when he made some momentous decisions.
Six
Life – Keith Richards
An iconic music legend, Keith Richards inspired many a rock band and shaped what was fashionable in terms of both style and attitude. He led the stereotypical rockstar lifestyle and lived to tell this fascinating tale of success and self-destruction.
Seven
Open – Andre Agassi
A truly moving book from an unexpected source, Andre Agassi seemingly had it all but behind the media-trained facade lies a highly complex and fascinating character. This is a book you simply won’t want to put down.
Eight
Every Second Counts – Lance Armstrong
Stories from on and off the bike, this book can only be described as inspirational and if you’ve ever had to face a difficult situation this book will show you just what the human mind and body can withstand and survive.
Nine
Sir Alan Sugar: The Biography – Charlie Burden
An inspirational story of business that will not only entertain but probably make you want to start your own business, or at the very least start flogging fruit from a market stall. With The Apprentice keeping Lord Sugar in the spotlight on an annual basis, you might as well get to know the bolshy millionaire.
Ten
Autobiography of Malcolm X – written with Alex Haley
A scary, inspiring, sad and enthralling book, one that has it all when it comes to unmissable literature, this book is a must-read for everyone. From a man that shaped views on race and equality and who remained a mystery to many is revealed in this compelling book.
