Product Description
As the daughter of notorious rock manager Don Arden, Sharon Osbournes childhood was an unruly mix of glamour and violence. In her late 20s, Sharon finally made the painful decision to break with her family. Always irrepressible, Sharon flourished, creating a loving family of her own while becoming a legendary manager and rockband promoter. In rock star Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon found her soul mate, yet Ozzys drug and drink-fuelled excesseswhich culminated in his attempt to strangle hermade their marriage a whiteknuckle ride from the start; only her devotion to their three children gave her the will to survive. From the tremendous highs of the hit show The Osbournes to the lows of Ozzys near-fatal quad-bike accident and her own bout with colon cancer, Sharons tenacity, honesty, and humour have triumphed again and again.

 Dragged Up to Successful Heights October 15, 2008
This is Sharon Osbourne Laid Bare. A very honest account of a tough life. Raised by a tough father, with strong links to the London Underworld and a mother who simply did not care, Sharon's story is one of survival and triumph. Meeting and managing Ozzy turned it all around for her but their married life was littered with his infidelities, heaving drinking and constant drug abuse, whilst she battled weight problems & family issues. She held it all together and I admire her for her dedication. I came away from the book with great admiration for her tenacity but also found her crude and not a very nice person (certainly not one that I would like to spend company with). What I missed here was how she dealt with her own childrens struggles with alcohol and drug addiction, which were skimmed over. Surely, this played a huge part in her daily life and forced her to question her own parenting style. All in all, a fascinating read but missing some important detail to complete the picture.
 right sleeve - Wrong book September 17, 2008
I recieved the wrong book with the correct sleeve, so basically i got ripped off. The book was used and it isn't worth my time to send it back. Thanks alot, Amazon.

This book is very interesting, I love Sharon and she's had quite the odd life. If your interested in the Osbournes I'd recommend reading Sharon's book.

Nothing too much to say about this book except you should really like Sharon to pay the hardcover price for this read. It is interesting if you're really into learning about her life and her start.
