    Default Billie Piper - Growing Pains

    I finished mine last night, after a fortnight's gap.

    It's a really good read, although I suspect she's holding the Who anecdotes back until she's hit real old age. Like 36 or something.

    Anyone else read this wonderous tome?

    I sadly haven't read it, but I did flick through it when I was unpacking stock the other day.

    I'm intruiged to read the story behind the nickname David Ten-Inch, however...

    I think that's one of the anecdotes that she is keeping hold of.

    I read a magazine review that gave it 2.5/5, saying it was a little light and that there were a number of typos. (such as Christopher Ecclestone throughout) There's also a lot of Chris Evans worship - is this true?
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I have to say I all ways find it amazing how an actor/actress or footballer can bring out a biography when they are still in their twenties..

    Well, not when he's flacid. Maybe she's seen him in a happy state?
    I am out there... somewhere.

    I don't when they've lived a varied and busy life. Billie has done modelling, pop singing, acting and had a high profile marriage all before she's 25.

    I enjoyed the book. It's sad that she was so unhappy and had eating dis-orders when she was doing her singing but you get the feeling she's really happy now and her relationship with Chris Evans seems very genuine and sweet. It's touching that she asked to be left alone so she could cry after watching "Doomsday".
