I remembered her from my youth when she was part of the "British Invasion" of the 60s. I recently viewed the three part miniseries about her and found out that she went on to be the highest paid woman entertainer in Britain. Her love story with her husband Bobby was lovely. I enjoyed this book and her writing style. I have recently watched a lot of YouTube videos about her and this book helped complete her story for me. I felt like I could hear her voice quite clearly in this book. Very enjoyable read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cilla!By Kindle CustomerI enjoyed this book so much. It was heart warming. and inspiring. It is so wonderful to read a memoir or biography about someone you knew little about and discover after reading. that you love him or her and are a huge fan. Cillas warmth and humour simply jump off of every page. I laughed loudly at her funny anecdotes and I cried for her losses. People always seem to see celebrities as non people...either gods and goddesses. mythological figures. unspeakable villains. or laughable cartoon characters. But books like Whats it All About. drive home the reality that they are none of these things. They are real people just like us. with real families just like ours. and the same feelings and desires that we all have. Reading this lovely memoir was like going out to lunch with your best girlfriend. What a fantastic lady.However like the other reviewer I agree that the spelling mistakes on the Kindle version are absolutley appalling. I was very confused that almost every time. her name was indeed spelled Cillia. I was beginning to think thats how she really spells it. And really. one time printing Bingo Starr is one thing. but when its constantly spelled this way over and over. it is pretty ridiculous. If it didnt say Starr I would have thought she was very good friends with a little dog whose owner sings and claps his hands a lot. instead of the famous rock drummer. Where were the proof readers?? Obviously there were none to be found. That said. I wouldnt knock off stars because the book itself more than makes up for the spelling errors. as idiotic as they are.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. or those who are interested in how she became such a much loved personaity en BritainBy Richard ReucroftInteresting biography because it is written by Cilla herself. It takes her life up to the death of her husband and a little later. Of course since then many years have past. but the most interesting part of her life is covered. Given her recent death it is a must for Cilla fans. or those who are interested in how she became such a much loved personaity en Britain.
