Customer Review: Just annoying and boring
I am a fan of Mr. Cowell as I think he is a good businessman and watching him as a judge (fighting with Mr. Walsh) is good fun. I don’t mean to be rude BUT he is the worst author ever. I was really looking forward to reading his book but after 10 pages I felt in throe. He describes his life in a really annoying way, all the time emphasising that he is a womanizer, he is the only one who has knowledge in this business and of course he is the greatest man ever. Sorry but the book is just boring. He shouldn’t have written it as the mystery about his person is now gone. But I will still adore him as a judge.
Customer Review: great mix …
I am a bit late to read this book but it was well worth it. You can race through it and and there is a really good mix between the personal life and the business life - and the business part is especially interesting. Simon explains how he really just went for things, often fearlessly. He comes over as a risk taker, which means that however much he might annoy you he has to be admired and probably deserves all his money. Another update after X factor and America has to come out soon I hope.
