There is a readership for the life story of any public figure. Not always a large one, but a readership, nonetheless. That public figure's life story may well be fascinating (as, for all his various faults, the rise of Prezza is), but the public figure cannot, for whatever reason, get it down on tape or paper. In Prescott's case, he's a very busy man, and his struggles with the English language are well-documented. So, it makes sense to use a good ghost-writer, and 'oonter is just about the best you can get. <BR/><BR/>In contrast, why should anyone give a tinker's cuss for a story that Kerry Katona made up between rehab stints and Iceland ads, but couldn't be bothered to write up herself? With her autobiography, there was a reason for the story to be told. With her 'novel', there is no such reason, apart from the desperation of the publishing industry.Louis Barfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500085182214151483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-68978955340649881842007-10-26T13:57:00.000+01:002007-10-26T13:57:00.000+01:00Whatever you do, don't get me started on Kerry.
