Every one knows how much I really like Geri Halliwell. I am actually begining to enjoy her more as an author than as a singer/performer. Especially since, her last recording was only one song from the soundtrack to the Hugh Grant film "Love Actually" and not that of a whole entire solo record.

Well, in her great second book entitled "Just For The Record", Geri honestly explaind why. The pure honesty of this book is what is the catcher. Geri states that she is unsure if she will EVER release another solo recording. Aptly put, she is at a crossroads in her career. She just doesn't know what she wants to do. Still battling Bulimia, a condition that my own mother has recently confessed to having been victim to for the past 12 years of her life, and Geri also citing being afraid of career disappointment as being her two main reason's for this cross road of indecisiveness. All of Geri's solo recordings have not been less than that of top 10 hits. Not just including her two solo albums but also every solo track/record released from them. The music sene has changed, R & B is becoming more popular now in The U.K. and that is a direction she is not interested in. That is also one of the reasons she left the Spice Girls. The other girls wanted to go down that route with music and Geri did not feel that it was right. Her heart has always been in Pop. She cares more for pop's known melody's instead of Tracks which is what R & B mainly is. Stealing a hook from here and there and adding some spoken words in the midst.

I highly recommend this book to ANY woman or man who feels they have had to battle their weight for the majority of their life. Geri speaks in such honesty and frankness about her ordeal with it in the past and even now. Its a day to day fight for her and she knows she will have the demons that come with an eating disorder for the rest of her life. When you read this book, you will forget about the pop star persona and find a real woman with real issues and most of all who has found away to put the once pop phenom of Ginger Spice behind the stage and allow the reader to soley concentrate and relate to the human being behind it all.
