Publisher's summary

This audiobook includes an introduction read by Sharon Osbourne.

Sharon Osbourne has lived - in her own words - 'fifty lives in fifty years'. As the daughter of notorious rock manager Don Arden, Sharon's childhood was a chaotic mix of glamour and violence, villains and diamonds. In rock star Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon found her soul mate, yet Ozzy's drug- and alcohol-fuelled excesses - which culminated in his attempt to strangle her - made their marriage a white-knuckle ride from the start; only her devotion to their three children gave her the will to survive.

From the highs of The Osbournes and The X Factor to the lows of Ozzy's near-fatal quad-bike accident and her own colon cancer, Sharon's tenacity, honesty and humour have triumphed again and again. In her long-awaited autobiography, Sharon Osbourne reveals the truth behind the headlines in her characteristically frank, intimate and articulate way.

Inspiring, heart-rending and full of love, Extreme is the astonishing story of a truly remarkable woman.

Critic reviews

"I have been kept awake for the past two nights, utterly gripped by Sharon's story.... She makes Keith Richards, Kurt Cobain et all look like kiddies at a tea party, overdosing on fizzy drinks...she is radiant, confident, assertive and glamorous. And enormously successful, having turned Ozzy's career into a multimillion-dollar global industry, having recovered from colon cancer herself, and having finally seen her husband do a year without a drink. She is totally phenomenal." (Sunday Independent - Ireland)

Amazing!!!

Her story and her honesty are both brutal and in heartbreaking. The narrator is so spot on that I forgot it wasn't Sharon herself talking.

Reflections of Life's Lessons

We've all had challenges - in childhood and later. Our response and it's outcome affects our values. We need to reflect to avoid being rigid in an ever-changing world. We may feel we would never have behaved like Sharon. We can't walk in other's shoes and judge, but I respect her ability to look honestly at herself and be the judge. Basically she's compassionate, accepting, forgiving ***unless you threaten one she loves, then watch out. She doesn't try to hide her faults or minimize her talents and that's central. We start out not sure of career, how to satisfy needs, or of the upcoming tests. Sharon describes an evolving person who knows and accepts their faults yet can look in the mirror and like themselves. They learned which solutions were more likely to work with the least amount of pain to others.

Love her unfiltered way of expressing

Open & frank, Sharon is not afraid of saying what she thinks & things that have gone on in her life. It is refreshing that a big star like Sharon is willing to share even the most painful memories which can help others, in the long run, from hearing about her experiences.

Great Read!

The reader is amazingly animated and relays the book in a way that provokes emotion all the way thru Ms Sharon's journey. This is a great book and offered a surprising insight into the life of Ms Sharon and her family. My only disappointment was when the epilogue was read because I wanted to hear more!

Amazing women!!

Brutally honest, and she leaves nothing out! It would be an amazing world if more women loved the way she does/did. Unconditionally! The narrator does such an amazing job telling her story! one of the best narrations I've ever heard!

Great book

I love this book. I've always loved Ozzy and Sharon. This has really opened up my eyes to their life. I'm so glad they have come out on the good side of things.
