Story
Sinéad O'Connor's voice and trademark shaved head made her famous by the age of 21. Her recording of Prince's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' made her a global icon. She outraged millions when she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II on American television. O'Connor was unapologetic and impossible to ignore, calling out hypocrisy wherever she saw it. She remained that way for over three decades.

Heartbreaking, emotional rollercoaster
Reviewed: 08-02-23
A wonderful book albeit heartbreaking, and is made all the more real as it is read by Sinead herself. Her story is so emotional and I was in tears listening early on. She tells her story her way and she comes across as a person with so much love in her heart and a voice fr the heavens. I for one am guilty of judging this lady based on sensationalist headlines in the media over the years.
But not anymore, now I just wish her nothing but happiness in her life as she has been through so much already.

Story
Keith Earls started out in senior rugby as a teenage star and during the course of his long career has become one of the most admired and respected players of his generation. A British & Irish Lion at the age of 21, he is now closing in on his 34th birthday and still playing at the top of his game. A native of Limerick city, Earls grew up in one of its most socially disadvantaged housing estates. His natural sporting talent brought him into the privileged bastion of elite rugby union.

A great insight into the mind of Keith Earls/Hank. You just never know of the turmoil that can go on in the mind of elite sports people at the top of their game despite how they are publically protrayed.

Story
For the very first time, and straight from the horse's mouth, a top manager's intriguing insights into the daily trials and tribulations, the joyous peaks and soul-destroying troughs of life as a football 'gaffer'. Ever wondered how a transfer deal is done? What a manager says during his pre-match team-talk? What he screams from the technical area? What goes on in training sessions, and on those long away trips? How a manager carefully builds a team, and what he does when the planning is disrupted by injuries?

Anything Peter Kay does is 5 star material. I loved his reading of it as he'd regularly go off script with bonus stories. Loved it!
