Take That was the original and the best British boy band ever. Their records sold millions, and they sold out arenas in less time than it took to play one of their singles. Gary Barlow was the band's secret weapon: their gifted, down-to-earth front man who not only wrote most of their greatest hits - "Back for Good", "Never Forget", and "A Million Love Songs" - but sang them too. But the band decided to quit at the height of their fame. What followed for Gary is an inspiring journey of highs and lows: from the promising start of his solo career to his crisis in confidence. The public who had once worshipped him almost seemed to forget he existed. Much has been said about Gary but he himself has remained silent until now. For the first time, Gary tells his full story from his childhood in Cheshire to life after Take That: the early start at thirteen working in a social club; a career as a teenager working the northern clubs; and the life-changing moment when he met Nigel Martin-Smith, a Manchester modeling agent who wanted to put together a boy-band. Gary will reveal what life on the road with Take That was really like and the truth behind the rumours of their petty feuding.He will also finally settle the speculation around his painfully public fall-out with Robbie. Throughout his experiences Gary has remained as determined and as positive as he was when he was given his first keyboard at eleven. It is this determination and spirit that has helped him bounce back. He has established himself as a successful songwriter writing for the likes of Blue, Delta Goodrem, and Charlotte Church. And now he's made one of pop's great comebacks with the Take That reunion tour, ten years after the band split up. Gary Barlow and Take That are back centre stage once again - where they belong.

 Not as dull as I thought

I was never really a fan of Take That or Gary Barlow but I was given this book for christmas and so I thought I had better read it.
I didn't expect it to be very intersting as I always imagined Gary Barlow to be more than a little dull. However reading it, i soon found myself to be quite interested and his struggle with Robbie Williams when the two of them were going head to head as solo artists and his subsequent fall from grace was almost touching.
He's not lead the most interesting life as far as pop stars go and therefore what's written is never going to be the most captivating read but it's well written and seems like an honest account.

It's not a book that's going to appeal to everyone, and having read it once I won't be reading it again, but if you're interested in music particularly of the 90s you may well find this to be an enjoyable book to read.

 Great

I always loved Gary Barlow the most when TT were first around, I am an original Thatter!! I loved reading his book, really down to earth, very truthful, the pictures were great. I think Gary would have made it one way or another without joining TT, maybe just as a songwriter. This books shows you what a top bloke he is. Now Take That are back I couldn't be happier, I am 27 years old and still love em!! Read his book just to get to know that man that everyone sees on stage but no one really knows, you all think he is sensible, you might find out a much different person than you thought!!

 Like Gary Barlows songs, seems simple but deeply heartfelt.

A great book, easy to read, but hard to put down.

I'm not a Take That nut, although I always really liked them and I'm one of the few people who really liked Gary Barlow's solo career.

I don't really want to give anything away because it's such a great read. So I'll just say, get it now, there's heaps of things you never knew were happening behind the scenes, and most weren't even involving Robbie, lol.
