Customer Reviews

Second book as good as first

Loved this book. Blunt and an easy read. Sharon has done it again with another witty and also heartfelt book. Looking forward to a third book. Recommend.

The Next Chapter is a good title

I loved this book as I did her first one. Sharon doesn't mince words or cover up anything. She writes in a "straight-forward" way. After reading her first book, it left me wanting to know more, that is why I was overjoyed to see she had another one out so soon. Now, I am waiting for the next chapter of her life to come into print

Sharon Osbourne Survivor her story

Sharon Survivor

What a great read. Sharon Osbourne holds back nothing. If she feels it, it comes right out. Such forthrightness is almost unheard of in these times.

Brutally real, and still an enjoyable read...

I was pleasantly surprised to find the next chapter of Sharon's story available so soon after reading the first book. Some may feel she took too much liberty in putting those who've offended her (and/or her family) in their places; but I enjoyed reading her side of these conflicts. I would have liked to read more about Ozzy and the kids, but perhaps not enough time has passed since she told their stories the first time... Instead, she tells of her British chat show, and of her participation in "The Vagina Monologues", "The X Factor", and "America's Got Talent". Sharon shares about health issues she's had resulting from her gastric bypass and other cosmetic surgeries, as well as some scary stalking incidents. She also spends a significant amount of time on how she dealt with the illness, dementia, and ultimately death of her father, Don Arden. She was very open in relating her struggle with taking care of a dad who for years had used and betrayed her (when he should have been protecting her, and looking out for her best interests). It says a lot about her character that she chose the high road, regardless of their history, and did what she could to be there for him during his long and painful decline. It's clear Sharon speaks candidly and from the heart, whether it's shaming those who've pissed her off, or expressing her fiercely loyal love for her husband and children. That must be what makes this such an easy read: Though she lives a lifestyle most of us can barely dream of attaining, she tells her story openly and honestly, in a way to which almost anyone can easily relate.

Behind Every Great Man is a Great Woman!

Sharon has a fascinating life and puts it all out in the open for everyone. While some people might not be as open about their misfortunes, Sharon doesn't sugar coat anything; she tells it all. This book was well written and very personal. Her life is very interesting and how she has put up with Ozzy, I will never know. That must be what true love really is. She is such a hard worker and a great inspiration for women everywhere. I also highly recommend Sharon's first autobiography "Sharon Osbourne Extreme: My Autobiography" and the book "Understanding: Train of Thought".
