Editorial Review:
From the time when, as an eight-year-old girl, she saw the movie Fame, Victoria wanted to be a star. There was a line from the title song that stayed with her-'I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to fly'. With this extraordinary book she gives us the chance to follow her on her journey from lonely teenager to international star; to fly alongside her.
Learning to Fly: The Autobiography Reviews:
Posh is as Posh does. 
2009-05-07 - First of all, let me state for the record that I was NEVER and never will be a spice girls fan. I actually loathed the group and pretty much wrote them off as untalented, over-paid tarts. I particularly hated the chubby blonde one and the skinny sour faced one - Posh. But a few years back, I happened to read an interview Posh did for a magazine. I was surprised at how honest she seemed to be. Then I kind of loosely followed her fashion career. Then I happened to get my hands on That Extra Half an Inch. I loved it. So, when I saw this book used for 10p, I thought Why not?
I read the whole thing in 3 days. I was amazed. I came from a place of total dislike for her group and specifically for her. But upon reading the book, I found that her whole "Posh" persona was not her doing. It was put upon her by the media. She was candid and brutally honest about her own short comings and talent. She says right from the beginning that she's never what one would consider a natural talent. She goes on to be even more brutally honest about her weight problems, being a pimply kid, being middle class (a distainful thing in England) and even her learning disabilities.
While I will never be a fan of her "music", I must say that I can certainly respect her new fashion career and the fact that underneath all that glamour, she's just your standard wife and mother that loves her family and acknowledges that she has been very blessed.
Never Knew 
2008-09-30 - After reading this book, you really know what she went though and you learn things about her that you never knew. I loved this book!!!!
The official proof Victoria Beckham is HILARIOUS!
2008-09-29 - Becks might have the looks and that will fade...
BUT Posh is HILARIOUS and she'll always be.
Often considered the second best Spice autobiography (Melanie B's is in the first place), it's really well written with delicious witty humor all over it...
Even VB haters will love it.
David fans will love it even more!
best autobiography
2007-09-04 - i first decided to get this book because i'm a fan of victoria beckham. when i read the book i was really pleased with it. it was well structured and it gives you a better idea of what victoria beckham is really like. supposedly there's all these speculations about her being a diva, but after reading this book i really don't believe those stories anymore. by reading the book, it seems as though your listening to a long time friend's life story. i really like this book and reccomend it. i seriously didn't want it to end and wish she came out with another autobiography.
Victoria Beckham
2007-08-12 - This book is great. Victoria is truly open about her life. It makes you see a different side of the person you see in all the tabloids. She allows you to peak into her world. It is heartbreakingly honest. She doesn't try to skip the hard parts of her life. We can see how the Spice Girls developed and how the girls got along. Victoria allows the reader to take a peak into a marriage (and romance) that has overcome many obstacles to raise 3 kids and lead a happy life. She even reveals how it felt when people accused David of cheating on her.
I didn't know what to expect when I started the book but I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in one night (staying up until 4:00 in the morning). I have a new respect for Victoria Beckham that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I have always admired her fashion sense but I have a new respect for the person behind all the photographs. It is a must read for anyone who wants to learn more about Victoria Beckham.
