Not really 'cooking with gas' - By: Bookwormjo, 31 Mar 2008 
Having watched Ramsayin his 'Kitchen Nightmares' series & various other stuff, I thought I'd give this autobiography a go. It's pretty pedestrian & doesn't really offer a great degree of insight into his private life & career. Overall, it's bland & inoffensive, somehow you get the idea that the author is scared of upsetting the volcanic chef.
Awful - By: W. F. HUGHES, 29 Dec 2007 
I thought this book was awful. I had to read it really quickly just to get it over & done with & read something better, such as the back of a cereal box.
The author repeats himself a lot, which is boring, I don't need to be told the same thing over & over thanks !
It was interesting to get the basic facts on Gordon Ramsay's climb to the top, but too grueling to put up with the bland style of writing & frequent cliches.
I might read Humble Pie next, I hope that is better. Could not be worse.
E Pearce - By: Mrs. E. pearce, 30 Nov 2006 
A light read for a biography. This book will take you through Gordan's back ground, hard work & motives to get to where he is now (it has not been an easy climb) . A bit of humourin there too. If you are looking for any tips or hints on cooking- you will not find it here. I enjoyed it
Fantastic. - By: S. L. John, 16 Aug 2006 
I thought Gordon Ramsay was born with a silver spoon - man I couldnt have been more wrong!!! This is a brilliant read from his footballing days to when he had his first Michellin star. For me the most interseting part was reading about his family background including why he has never changed a nappy!!! An essential read - especially for fans.
Great Reading - By: G. Nichol, 27 May 2006 
This book has been the best biography i have read. To read about from the very beginning to where he is now, is just a remarkable journey & is of complete credit to him, with no backing from one of the people he wanted recognition from the most, his father. This is a definite must read for anyone who loves or hates Gordon Ramsey. I would definitely read it again.
