I read this book in one day it’s quite easy to read but it is a tad boring. It’s just a rehash of the Netflix series so there is nothing new in there. I thought it was going to go into more detail about the feud with Brooklyn but it only starts getting mentioned in the last 50 pages or so.
I’m not really a Beckham fan I have no real strong opinion either way but I must say Brooklyn reminds me a lot like Prince Harry. Someone who is talentless, not very bright and who doesn’t have good looks on their side and only has a platform because of who mummy and daddy are and married to someone who is a failed actress who is only after her husbands family name in order to open doors that even a billionaire can’t buy.
The only thing I would criticise the Beckhams for is doing too much for Brooklyn, by pulling strings and getting him gigs for things he just hasn’t got the talent for is setting him up to fail, they believed they were helping him but all it did was give him a false sense of having some tiny hint of talent which he just doesn’t have.
The thing I would criticize Brooklyn on is the fact that he still uses his mummy and daddy’s name to get by in life, again similar to Prince Harry. If your family is that bad then surly you would forgo the names and titles and not even mention the people you were trying to get away from. In my book that makes them hypocrites and someone who wants their cake and eat it.
This book I feel doesn’t go further into questioning this and it’s only really the last 40-50 pages that is worth reading.
I actually quite enjoyed this. I found the writing style easy and fun to read. There's nothing really new to find out that hasn't been hashed out over social media and in the press but it was good to read it all in one place.
I did get the feeling that the author does not like the Beckhams, though.
