NO GLITTER - By: Mrs. J. A. Palfree, 21 Oct 2008 
Every time I fall into the 'Autobiography' trap, I swear I will never be caught again. Just because someone has led an interesting/extraordinary life, it does not follow that they can share this with usin writing! Craig Revel Horwood's book illustrates the point. Dreary, dull, lifeless writing. Craig.....you needed a ghost writer, or at the very least a crash coursein creative writing!
Borrow a copy before you buy....wish I had!
Fabulous! - By: Ali James, 02 Oct 2008 
What a read! Craig is as honest & straightforward as you'd expect & so open about his life. His no holds barred style really takes you through the highs & lows, the laughter & the tears. It's a must-read for Strictly fans. I couldn't put it down.
Not bad - By: Suze, 01 Oct 2008 
I found it interesting to discover what qualifies Craig to judge dancers, & his credentials hold up. I also enjoyed reading about his journey from Aus to a hugely popular BBC show. I did find the book a little rushed at the end, but I still enjoyed learning about him. I think it could have gone deeper though. It's more a 'coffee table' book than many other biographies I have read.
YAWN! Dull Dull Read - By: lee kaay, 30 Sep 2008 
Not sure what the other people were reading butin my opinion this is a dull read merely for the people who laugh & titter at his feeble put downs on a dancing game show. Yes, wehave all the backstage glitter (if you can call it that) here & also his background, love life (painfully boring) but mostly it reads as someone who believes that are a star but are not merely a judge on a gameshow.
A-MA-ZING! - By: Buddy Lancaster, 14 Sep 2008 
All Balls & Glitter was a sensational read - I could'nt put it down.
What ever you thought of Craig from Strictly (acid tongued & critical) certainly portrays himselfin a very different light & openly exposes his secret past. He takes us back to his childhood of rural Australia & his desperate actions to get him out of a miserable childhood. Taking the reader on a wonderful & colorful journey to how Craig became the judge we all love to hate.
It has gossip, truth, scandal, sex & love everything you wantin a good Barbara Cartland !! But this is Craigs real life & is no fictional story ! A wonderful addictive read.
It appeals to everybody, & highly recommend this book its certainly not DULL DULL DULL !!
