This no-holds-barred account of Kelly Obsournes upbringing is as shocking as it is disarmingly funny. From stories about her fathers alcoholism to pushing over portaloos on tour; Kelly unflinchingly deals with the extraordinary experiences that have made up her life so far:Kelly Osbourne has written Fierce; a handbook for teenage girls/memoir of adolescence lived under very bright lights. After reading it; and her anecdotes about her mums early experiments with home waxing; and her dad snipping off her thong; and Amy Winehouse complimenting her on her tits; and the confidence that comes with Vicodin; as well as the fact boxes with advice about bullying and hair straighteners; I like her very much.

As a parent and nearly a grand parent. as well as a music therapist. I welcome this clear and creative book. There is no doubt you can use the Mozart Effect in your home the way Campbell defines it. It is more than just a scientific study. it is about knowing how to nuture a child and a family with music . Campbell is neither elitest nor arrogant. He inspires and informs. All types of music are included and the book takes a step by step. age by age. approach to brain and body development. He shows us that The Mozart Effect goes back to research in France over forty years ago and continues in centers throughout the world today to help children with ADD. speech problems and dyslexia.As a music therapist. I hope every family will use this book. It can improve listening and communication. It can inspire us to look at a much bigger picture in child development. Thanks Don Campbell for doing your homework so well.
