Book Reviews of Gordon Ramsay: The Biography
Book Review: Not up to Ramsay's quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I adore Gordon Ramsay - he's just about perfect, but this book isn't! I suppose I should have known it was going to be quite shallow when I read that the author had also written the biography of Jade from Big Brother (what can he have written about her?!). It's almost as if one is being introduced to Gordon Ramsay as a television character whom you've never seen before - entire scenes are recounted from different programmes he's been in, and I felt that frankly, those of us who have watched some of his programmes want to know more about what makes him tick (apart from perfection, because I think we knew that already!) - well, there were insights into his personal life, but they were very few and far between. I wouldn't have considered NOT buying this book before reading it, as my love of all things Ramsay is fairly all-encompassing, but I simply found this a bit "lowest common denominator rubbish", frankly. I hope a higher brow writer will document Gordon's life at some stage in the future and we can all enjoy that. Put simply, I just wonder who the author was targeting the book at - certainly not the die-hards who already know something about Gordon.
