Review
"So enjoyable, yet so profound - more than any slog of a chick-lit novel, here is a truly delightful and piquant calorie-free indulgence. Julie Burchill, The Mail on Sunday"
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
Young, good-looking, famous and rich, there is no better-known celebrity couple than Posh and Becks. In this biography, Andrew Morton reveals the truth behind the headlines. He examines Victoria's relationship with the other Spice Girls and David's relationship with Manchester United. Through tell-all interviews with those who inhabit the Beckhams' circle, the author unfolds a story of two young people struggling to lead ordinary lives and obsessed with guarding their privacy. Yet, he argues, the Beckhams are also a couple prepared to do whatever it takes to keep themselves in the spotlight.

Horrible Author, Jan 10 2009
By Staci Seeler "Staci" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Posh & Becks (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished Victoria Beckham's autobiography "Learning to Fly". In it she discusses a horrible court case her and her husband had gone through with this author fighting for this book not to be made. The guy that Andrew Morton's information is based off of was Victoria's old bodygaurd. He was the man believed by the FBI to be the one sending the kidnap and death threats that held the family's lives in fear for years. I would never support a person that disrespected someone that i admire so much.

This is LITERALLY a collection of tabloid articles., Nov 7 2008
By Amateur Revier 2 "amateurreviewer2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Posh & Becks (Mass Market Paperback)
So why did I pay good money for a book which has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW other than rehashed tabloid articles?? I could have just read through a newspaper archive. This book is full of "reportedly," "allegedly," "it was claimed," meanwhile, isn't Andrew Morton supposed to be a journalist?? Couldn't he have confirmed or investigated any of these allegations, reports and claims?? This was the worst biography I have read in my life.

Not recommended, Sep 8 2008
By Marie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Posh & Becks (Mass Market Paperback)
I never read a book by this author before, so I didn't have any preconceptions. I was looking for a biography of two celebrities I admire so I could learn more about them and their rise to fame. This book was not a good choice. I can't say I learned anything new of any real interest, and I was put off by the hostile tone of the author, especially toward Victoria Beckham. No one is perfect, but this book really seemed to unfairly accentuate the couples' flaws and downplay their strengths. Nobody deserves to be criticized like that. It was unkind and not a pleasant read. I still admire the Beckhams for their many good qualites, however I'm not so sure about the author.
