Ok well fair points well made Ruth.
The book I believe she had help from the woman that used to write the BB books (Jean Ritchie) not that it makes any difference but a bit of random trivia there.She did though dictate everything in there (if you think thats a good thing or not) and so it was 'her own words' she had help with the arrangement of the book which is more than can be said for many celebrities writing who have no input into theirs some of who don't even read their own books.
As for talent well yeah she has the same talent that any ex bb person has really but there is going to be interest in her as an ex bb person.She's not around as much now anyway and certainly isn't continuing to milk it in ways that some of them do.
The Ordinary Boys music well as you say thats down to opinion again but they had a pretty big following before BB and have had comtinued chart success including a recent top 10,but having said that it's not going to mean everyone has to like it.
