What a strong character and an extraordinary life! Thank you Margaret for honestly sharing so many moving turns of life you could easily fill several life-times! So thankful to you for Slimming World which has given hope and helped so many overcome weight-related health problems! I know how it feels like - a miracle! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Keep well and Thank You from the deepest bottom of my heart!
I loved this book. I really wanted to know her story , especially as she is the founder of Slimming World, which had made a huge difference to me. Engaging, occasionally trite, but never dull, well worth’s the time spent to read. Truly inspirational lady, and I’d love to meet her
An interesting life. But all this soul searching "I'm not in it for the money" was too sickly for me. Lots of silly little quips, almost one per page, that got annoying.
It was interesting to discover what the start of Margaret’s life was and to see the evolution of the company. I was trying to decide what the uncomfortable feeling was I had when reading this book and I was trying to decide whether she simply wasn’t a great writer! Then I read a Goodreads review which said the reviewer didn’t like her writing ‘style’ due to her overuse of ‘puns’ and I think that pretty much explains how I felt too. There was no necessity for them and it made what I would otherwise have thought must be an clever woman (in terms of her dietary knowledge) to be appear not very professional, which I am sure is inaccurate. She appeared to be writing for two different audiences, those who do read, and those who aren’t accustomed to reading! And need puns to keep them ‘grounded’. Disappointing really.
A super interesting first half and I loved finding out more about a company, and it's founder, very close and dear to my heart. However, wasn't a great fan of the style (I like a pun as much as the next person, but the overuse was rather jarring).
A truly amazing autobiography about the founder of Slimming World, a very honest account of her amazing journey in life. An inspirational story of her early years and personal life to date. Margaret is so inspirational, she has made me look at life in a very different way.
A fascinating insight to how slimming world got started and continues to thrive. Margaret-miles_bramwell tells her inspirational story of her early years and personal life to date.
I'm not a big bio fan so no surprise it look me ages to finish but it was a fab insight into haw slimming world came to be and what a lovely lady she is.
