A great read

During the time we were offline (when the laptop was not working), my friend Eliza lent me "My Take, Gary Barlow".

For those that know me well I loved Take That the first time round and was overjoyed when Take That 2 emerged. Gary was always my favourite member and I was really keen to read his book when Eliza lent it to me.

Believe me I could not put it down, I would grab every opportunity I had to read it.

Gary shows his love for music and the highs and lows of the music industry. He shares his journey from his childhood in Cheshire to life during and after Take That. It is a really honest book, sharing the truth about his relationship with Robbie and his controlling manager Nigel. I also love the personal details he shares about the relationship with his parents, his wife Dawn and the other members of the band, his caring nature really comes to the forefront.

The most shocking part of the book for me was when he was caught up in the July 7th 2005 terrorist attacks (I did shed a tear).

Even if you are not a Take That fan or even a Gary Barlow fan, I would highly recommend this honest book, it's well worth a read.

Thanks to Eliza for lending it to me.
