Living it Arg

by James Argent

One of the original cast members of the award-winning reality TV series, The Only Way is Essex, Arg is best known for his long-term relationship with Lydia Bright and his affectionate 'Bro-mance' with Mark Wright. A key figure in the show, he remains a favourite with writers and is a character loved by male and female fans alike.

But life for Arg hasn't always been easy - broken hearts, an on-going battle with weight and self-esteem issues - there is a lot more to Arg than meets the eye and he lifts the lid here for the first time. From his disastrous on-going quest to find 'The One' to his secret passion for The Rat Pack and Frank Sinatra, Arg is an old-fashioned soul who found over-night fame and he tells us what really goes on behind the scenes of one of ITV's biggest hit shows.

An inoffensive and sometimes entertaining read, but probably not one I would highly recommend unless you happen to be Arg's biggest fan! I agree with the other reviewer that it becomes a bit monotonous in the last half and particularly the last third, and the frequent name dropping certainly begins to pall. Gemma and Chloe Sims' books are better reads if you are after a Towie biography (probably as they are a bit older and so don't need quite so much filler).

Being a big Towie fan,I wanted to see what was behind the real Arg,well this book doesn't disappoint,its a great read about James childhood,teenage yrs,family life and what makes him "Arg".
If you're a Towie fan and want to know more,then I'd recommend this,was a good read.
