addicted is the word! - Rated 
Fabulously readable, very droll too in parts, serves the supermodel well who thought she would get something written this classy? I felt got to know her from the inside through this, so much better than all that tabloid rubbish that seems just made up. Only I wish there was more about Pete Doherty he is somwat more, ahem ,deep than she is. Still the book got the real story before anyone else, they are STILL an item despite all the press bollocks, addicted to love says it all!
A rarity - Rated 
A rarity among books of this kind on two counts. Firstly, it doesn't
mince words or fudge the sometimes truly scandalous scenes, secondly,
it ranges further than an account of a supermodel with all kinds of
controversial and intriguing suggestions about the modelling world and
the power and place of fashion. I like best of all that it has a mockingly
salacious tone and runaway pace, like Jean Baudrillard on acid meets
an oversexed Hello! magazine reporter in a sauna. Would all fashion biographies were like this.
revealing and candid - Rated
This sure blows the probverbial lid of the mysteries of Moss. It was a puzzle as to where she really came from what she is about and how she got to be so everywhere. but this book unpicks the Moss machine because that it what it is and shows who is hiding behind the scenes and why. I was also amazed at how candid it is blowing the gaff on all that sex n drugs n frocks n roll, from charlie to ketamine to sex orgies in her weird chapel like barn. The story powers on like a novel through Kates highs and lows, I really felt for Kate when Johnny Depp decides that she is not the sharpest needle in the pack and turns to Vanessa Paradis. A biography that is also a pleasure to read as being sometimes hilarious plus Vermorel is not scared to poke fun at himself as well, or that is how I read the notorious episode when he gets dna samples out of her "Glastonbury pants" because surely there must be a law against that! Read this and the rag trade will never look the same and nor will the beautiful Kate Moss.
All too human!! - Rated
I was always curious about this model since years ago and here really is the whole story, gory and strange bits and all, the writer doesn't let her off the hook and is a welcome relief from all the gushy stuff you get about her. But then you end up liking her more as she is after all that more human. Plus I personally identify with her all the more as I am no saint and a single mum too. The book is a real page turner too with some great laughs like when Kate and Jefferson Hack turn up to Lila's village christaning with a weird looking crowd that are definitely off their trollies with substances. And tons of great stories about Pete D and Marianne Faithfull and all. Reading between the lines was it all some weirdness between Kate and her leisure loving mum that made Kate go a wee bit off the rails??? Hmm, made me think about my own mum...
stunning - Rated
Quite amazing. Witty and acerbic. Fascinatingly voyeuristic. I particularly loved the reference to the author having extracted ancestral DNA information from the skidmarks on the supermodel's panties. Whatever next?
