Summary: No stars
Comment: What a depressing, patronizing and shallow book. It's rarely funny and it's doesn't even seem tongue-in-cheek. A wide range of subjects are covered, but none of them are explained properly. This book is geared towards faking at life and doing a half-arsed job of everything. This is a book for stupid people, who think it's clever to pretend they like art or read books when they don't. A copy of this was lying about at work so I read it, but I wish I'd never wasted my lunch hour. A total waste of space. Rather than buy this book, go and buy one that will make you a more interesting person. If there was a no stars option I would have clicked it.

Summary: Useful if you've been living under a rock for your whole life...
Comment: A brief flick through this book led me to believe I might find this book entertaining and a useful reference tool. Oh, how wrong I was!
I will admit the author gives a very good argument for why you should treat yourself to expensive shoes, and I liked the writing style, which was quite witty.
However, the actual content of the book was rather lacking. It covered many subjects which I found particularly questionable (such as "How to Use A Remote Control". Like, really? Who on earth is this aimed at?!) but even those which actually could have been interesting, such as those on style and travelling, were frustratingly basic and lacking any new ideas at all.
The only type of reader that I would even consider recommending this to would be a very young girl; even then, I think she would have already gleaned more useful information on the subjects covered by reading teen magazines. If this were the target audience though, why the constant talk of designer shoes and the gardening section? Confusing.

Summary: How to be a shallow self-obssessed celebrity??
Comment: If you are self-conscious do not by this book as it will only make your self-consciousness worse!
It has to be one of the most superficial and patronising things I have ever read! Subsequently I haven't even managed to get past the first section `Greeting Your Public' due to utter disgust at what it has to say and by the way, Camilla, appearances are NOT everything.
I agree 100% with every other review in which this book was given two stars or less
I am just glad it was given to me as a present and i hadn;t actually spend money on it!
BIG disappointment!
