About this title

Review

Every female wants to "marry" him and every male wants to be him. Other than envious ex-Take That members, everybody loves Robbie Williams. Or so it would seem from the media hype currently surrounding him. The loveable rogue, who successfully made the transition from boy band idol to credible pop artist and media celebrity via a brief spell as an overweight alcoholic and drug addict, is the man of the moment. This ensures Let Me Entertain You, the "official" Robbie Williams book, guaranteed success.

Written in collaboration with stockbroker-turned-author Jim Parton, this glossy biography focuses on Robbie's life since his departure from Take That in 1995 to the release of his second solo album, I've Been Expecting You, in late 1998. It is packed full of superb photographs, including a rather erotic pose on page 57, and also features selected lyrics and an abundance of quotes from Robbie himself. While Parton explains the challenges Robbie faced in attempting to relaunch his career and the many setbacks he suffered along the way, Robbie expresses his feelings as to the events of the period and the characters involved. Although the biographical information is not particularly extensive, with minimal information on his early life and his time with Take That, the stunning photographs and punchy style ensure that Let Me Entertain You is a must for any true Robbie Williams fan. --Robert Brookes

Synopsis

After five years of success with Take That, Robbie Williams left to pursue a solo career. This official book discusses the first year away from Take That, which Robbie describes as like going to a New Year's Eve party and not coming back until New Year's Eve the next year. Robbie also talks about those critics who wrote him off as "being famous for being famous", the success of his album "Life Thru a Lens" and the release of the single "Angels". The glamour of "pop star life" is explored, along with the downside to fame at a young age. There is also a handwritten foreword signed by Robbie.
