 Not totally fabulous, 2008-04-12
A fun read, very inspirational BUT ... I found the frequent spelling and grammatical mistakes very irritating. Also, some of her information is plain WRONG. Since when did Streisand win an Oscar for Funny Face? I could go on with more but only hope that the book is edited properly before going to paperback.
That's all my Xmas presents sorted!, 2008-12-22
A fab book with tips that are actually relevant and helpful to the modern day woman. I was lucky enough to be bought this for my birthday this year and I loved it so much I have bought it for all my girl friends this Xmas! LOVE her celeb friend's contributions too- truly fabulous.
They had to change to name of the book - definitely a sign it was a flop!, 2008-07-30
How to Walk in High Heels was one of those amazing breakout books that every writer dreams of for their debut. It was on sale everywhere - clothing shops, record shops, even on Virgin trains!! It was the type of book everyone bought their friends for Christmas (me included).
However, A Year in High Heels is a different story. When this came out in hardcover, it was called A Girl For All Seasons. I assume sales did not go to plan, and a familiar title and pink cover was called upon for the paperback release.
This book has some good things going for it. Like its predecessor, there are some obscure wonderful facts in there. For example, Coco Chanel's initials on lamp posts throughout W1 in London. I lived in the city for two years, and never noticed. Now I seem to notice them every day. (Thanks Camilla!)
However, the format of the book is impossible - the premise is that you read a chapter a month. Now, as someone who reads a book in a day - a week at most - this just isn't going to happen. You can try reading the whole thing in one go - as per your usual reading habits - but strangely this feels wrong, reading 'November' when its only 'July'. Sort of like eating all the chocolate out of your advent calendar in advance.
Love, love, love this book!, 2008-10-24
Inspiring, exciting and utterly fabulous. I enjoyed this read immensely and eagerly anticipate whatever Camilla does next!
You won't be able to put it down, 2008-10-23
