How i loved to read this book. I couldn't actually stand George when i read this. Totally changed my opinion and I was so glad to read the comments about Madonna.....how right can you get it!!

ON a more serious note, well worth the read and not bad like some reviews would make you believe.

offensive, short , and stuff that should be told only to a therapist, a priest, or a close friend. He hurt a lot of people that really loved him.What a shame,because he was a lot more talented and loved than all those he slagged off. HE could have been on top of the world, instead he chose to be on the bottom.I get the same treatment from my Wallachian Gypsy stepfather, and my ignorant mother, I never really expected such ignorant mentality from the most beautiful boy in the world.

Don't bother to buy this book - Yawn

I bought this book because I thought Mr O'Dowd would be telling us an interesting and possibly hilarious account of his upbringing and life as Boy George, but alas he comes across as an entirely uninteresting individual who has no real depth of character and his main enjoyment in life is slagging others off. Unfortunately this is one of the very few books I just could not finish - it was that bad!

Take It Like A Gran
Customer Rating:  Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2 Score = 2

Admittedly, I am not THE biggest Boy George fan - though I follow his progress with interest and raised eyebrows. He has the ability when being creative to entertain and delight. Take It Like A Man was un-put-down-able - as one wanted to hear about the actual events and incidents that took place in his meteoric rise to stardom in the 80's. It was a roller-coaster ride of crazy characters and life changing dramas. A gripping read.

This book, however, seems to be more focused on catty comments and unwarranted opinions, than of actual 'happenings'. Yes, we know you are gay. Yes we know you can't stand Madonna. Yes, we know you are 'controversial'. Nothing new is really covered or ascertained here - except the fact that Boy George comes across as a Queen who has lost her crown and is quite resentful about it too. Even fabulous achievements such as stage show 'Taboo' are marred with a negativity that leaves a nasty taste in ones mouth.

Not half as entertaining or thought-provoking as Take It...... sorry.

A mature book worth reading.

I found this book a pleasure to read, it is a mature and well written autobiography. Although I'm not a huge fan of Boy George OR Culture Club I found both Take It Like A Man and Straight extremely fascinating and engrossing. I think with his second book he has proved himself to be a talented writer with strong views on spirituality and life, although sometimes it is a bit repetitive, mentioning Madonna one too many times, I think he's right when he says "Thou doth protest too much."

It's a good book, worth a read if you've got nothing else to do.
