Sharon Osbourne Extreme
My Autobiography

by Sharon Osbourne
Read By the Author



      Sharon Osbourne, now a household name from her popular television show The Osbournes, lays out a childhood filled with adult situations. With a father devoted to the early days of rock-n-roll management, the revolving door of rockers, both the real thing and hangers-on, made for a rough life such as most listeners of this journal could never dream of. The sharp reality of a hand-to-mouth existence in a business filled with barracudas, drugs, and booze, formulates Osbourne the edge she has today. If you're looking for a full-frontal show business story this is the one for you.

Read by Osbourne, in her wonderful British voice, filled with an intimate, but in-your-face style. I especially liked chapter eight. Osbourne recounts the contrast of down-sizing her father's failing music business, while fueling her husband Ozzy's stardom. Raising three children while traveling between England and the United States to promote her husband's career, she remained the survivor in a business of sharks. Don't let the bravado fool you, Osbourne -despite the explicit language- shows her heart, a dear one many came to know personally on her recent television show.
