Reveal: Robbie Williams - As close as you can get to the man behind the Netflix Documentary

Product Information

Here, what again emerges is a damning picture of the tabloid press, and the toll of living under its scrutiny. Where Williams perhaps differs from Pearlman’s previous subjects is in his complicated public persona: he courted attention as much as he rebelled against it. This book adorns an image of a pop star, revealing a very personal picture of a man so readily written about in the media it's difficult to know what is real and what is fake. This book works to remedy that. This is a rollercoaster ride through time, emphasising a very personal account of his own ups and downs. Sometimes sad and sometimes funny, this beautiful book reveals all about the omnipresent figure of Robbie Williams: international pop star. I will say that at times Heath could come across as obsequious at times. He seems to find everything Robbie does hilarious and agrees with him on most topics, almost like a super-fan himself who can’t quite believe he’s managed to get into the inner circle. I wonder if they’re still close today. It lays bare Robbie’s lifestyle and gives over paragraphs to his thoughts on it as well as other topics that happen to come up. In reading the book, I didn’t really feel I learnt anything ground-breaking or new. Robbie’s addictive personality, the way he can become fixated on certain ideas or hobbies and then drop them suddenly, and his hating of fame yet need for approval is well documented elsewhere. Although it must be said I am reading this book 10 years after its release – I can imagine at the time the content was more revelatory.

Robbie's wife Ayda obviously features heavily in the book and it's really lovely to get a better picture of what their relationship is like. They are self-confessed over-sharers with no filter and some of the content (including the absolutely heartbreaking story of what happened to Ayda when Robbie broke up with her) is really quite upsetting. However, I read most of their little anecdotes with a smile on my face. Der zweitew und dritte Teil hingegen war für mich als Leserin schon flüssiger.
