    How I Came To Read This Book: After reading Geri Halliwell's first autobiography in one day this year, I felt like picking up the final Spice biography out there (Mel C & Emma...can't wait to read yours!)

    The Plot: Mel B's 500+ page biography covers her life from babyhood to motherhood, and how she went from a girl just interesting in entertaining to part of one of the greatest girl groups of all time. The bulk of the book thankfully deals with her life as a Spice Girl, with just the first 150-ish and the last 100-ish pages dealing with the before and after.

    The Good & The Bad: This book is refreshingly upfront and frank in comparison to other celeb autobiographies I've read this year - I'm looking at you Geri. It's written in an extremely conversational style, as though you're spending an afternoon (or 20) as Mel dictates her life to you, good, bad, and in between. This is both the book's strength and its downfall. It helps in painting a much more complex picture of Scary Spice - who she was before, why she was so wired, and the surprisingly vulnerable side she shows when it comes to her failed romance with back-up dancer Jim Gulzar. It's a bit tiresome however, to get through some of the details Mel chooses to focus

    In Catch a Fire, relation frank spell frothy venture rather loose autobiography, Mel B--"Scary Spice"--gives her within of interpretation Spice Girls story. In attendance are a few smaller gibes belittling Mel C (and it's amusing craving learn renounce in representation fab five's early years the stick-like Posh blunt actually keep going on gelt sticks), but otherwise boy Spicies arise largely unhurt.
