I’VE BEEN READING A LOT
I’ve been reading a lot lately, more than I ever have in my life. Not sure how I fell into this ‘reading zone’ but I am definitely hooked. So much so that I have completed 5 books in around 8 weeks which is some pretty good reading by anyone’s standards. I actually read the two Gordon Ramsay books before Sniper One but Sniper One being such a good book became a priority to write about.
Gordon Ramsay was a normal run of the mill celebrity chef and ‘the bloke that swears a lot’ on TV before I noticed Gordon Ramsay’s Playing with Fire in the book store. I think it was the big red cover that caught my eye at first. I didn’t realise he had written autobiography before and thought Humble Pie was a cookery book. haha. I went and read half of the book before buying Humble Pie on the flight to London I took in December. By the time I arrived back home I had read half of Humble Pie as well so I carried on and finished it.
HUMBLE PIE
Humble Pie gives a massive insight in to who Gordon Ramsay is as a person, most people recognise him from the TV shows, some people dislike him because of the same shows as well. I think that to find out more about a celebrity that is worth their salt as a person you have to read their autobiography. Celebrities don’t always want you to know about their past, most try to hide it however in Humble Pie Gordon Ramsay gives a no-holds-barred account of his upbringing, living in numerous different locations whilst he was growing up with his sisters and brothers. Gordon Ramsey goes in to particular detail about his rocky relationship with his father, the strained relationship with his brother and his love for his mum.
