Kurzbeschreibung
The nation has commented on and devoured Paul Gascoigne for years. They read his story. But not until now has anyone ever known what it is really like to wake every morning and be Gazza. What lies behind the cheeky grin, jokes and tears? Here Gascoigne, in the company of his therapist, confronts his demons and takes the reader into the recesses of his mind. The triggers that created explosive genius on the pitch, outrageous antics off it and at times plunged Gascoigne into dark despair are revealed together with the critical moments that influenced his alcoholism, depression, drug abuse, gambling, eating disorders and compulsive behaviour. This is more than the story of one man. It applies to people who face turmoil every day. Recognising a problem and seeking help is the hardest step. Through self-assessment forms and expert advice, any reader who sees a mirror of themselves will be offered help and a way forward. There has never been a book like this. Because there has never been a man like Paul Gascoigne.

Slaying the Demons
20. Oktober 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
I am still unsure as to the value of this book and as to why it was actually written. Gazza, Englands most talented soccer player of his generation tells an honest account of the demons that he lives with on a daily basis. The extent of his addictions, the daily struggles and the complexities of being Gazza are all here in brutal honesty. The book reads like a series of letters both from Gazza and from his councellor to the reader and acts something like a diary. It's more coffee-table literature (that demands very little of the reader), than an autobiography. The benefit being that you can 'dip' in and out of the book at your leisure and the down-side being that it lacks consistency. I learned a little about Gazza here but not enough to recommend the book to anyone. Reading the book did not affect me positively or negatively, nor did it give me anything to occupy my mind. If you like Gazza, buy his autobiography 'Gazza.My Story'. If you are obsessed with Gazza, then you could consider buying this.

Honest Reflection.
12. Juli 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Being Gazza is an honest look back at his life by Gascoigne. Before this book I was just familiar with the media image of him as, basically, a clown who threw away his talent by too much partying. Now I understand the medical problems underlying his behavior. The book reveals just how much suffering he has gone through and demonstrates how celebrity helps worsen serious medical problems. Takes a lot of courage to be this frank and the book is an easy read for anyone interested in the person rather than just his football career.
Amazing

I don't know anything about soccer players, but wanted to read about bipolar disorder. I love his conversational writing style and all his English-isms throughout the book. I was saddened at how much Paul Gascoigne had to deal with...besides bipolar disorder, as if that's not enough. Yet, it's really heart-warming to see how much he accomplished and continues to accomplish...a great deal more than many who don't have his afflictions.
I don't think anyone would be disappointed reading this book.
