Críticas:
Oh she is maddening! But maddeningly compulsive too (Daily Telegraph)
Witty and extrovert, ruthlessly ambitious and unforgiving, Street-Porter would, on the evidence of this book, make a horrible enemy but a great friend. (Independent on Sunday)
A gripping narrative, concisely told... a whole lifetime went into the material. And that in itself makes it remarkable (Observer)
Hers is a bracingly honest account of social climbing which perversely fires our admiration. It's the boldness (Sunday Times)
Baggage is a tremendously well-researched book. As a portrait of lower-middle-class life in London in the 1950s or of the glamorous arterati of the London of the 1960s and early 1970s it is second to none. It is also a pretty extraordinary tale of a ferocious ambition and the lengths to which one had to be prepared to go in order to clamber a little way up the greasy pole of the English class system before Thatcherism arrived and changed all that. And there are some hilarious moments, intentional and otherwise (Evening Standard)
When she's engaging in one of her extensive repertoire of strops, she can be very funny, as well as oddly engaging (Sunday Telegraph)
There is some suggestion that her megawatt persona is the result of a poor and fractious background, but I don't buy it: our Janet seems to have emerged from the womb carping abut the decor and demanding a VIP pass (Lesley White, Sunday Times)

Opinionated, driven, ruthless, eccentric - how do you become Janet Street-Porter?
In this fearless and compelling memoir of a truly bizarre childhood, Janet Street-Porter amuses as much as she shocks - brutally honest, brilliantly written, just as you would expect from a bestselling writer and media queen.
