Trade Review
As funny as it is moving, Gok's inspirational story is a fab read ***** * Closer *
It's the autobiography we've all been waiting for - the incredible story of how a 20st Chinese kid from a housing estate grew up to become a fashion guru ... this intimate memoir is full of insights about bullying, fashion and celebrity. Witty, honest and inspirational! ***** * Woman's Own *
A revealing and unglitzy autobiography, about being a podgy, spotty teenager in Leicester, feeling out of place and out of luck and without much hope for a better future ... honest and moving -- Susan Hill * Spectator *
Told with the wit and warmth we know and love him for * Best *
Immensely readable, touching and at times funny * Sunday Express *
