Search - Life with My Sister Madonna

Christopher Ciccone loves his sister, but after this bitchy, poorly-written book, Madonna will not likely welcome him back into her life. Her brother comes off as arrogant, but Madonna doesn't fare much better-nor do several other high profile people in their lives including Demi Moore and Guy Ritchie. Madonna is portrayed as a controlling workaholic who tends to use her sexuality to achieve her personal and professional goals rather than actually enjoying sex. Christopher was a big part of Madonna's career and life for many years, and though they are now estranged, her brother knows her more intimately than most, and he gives delicious insight into this pop legend.

Ok, I always figured Madonna was a bitch. Now I KNOW she is! Seriously, though, this book really isn't a tell all. Bottom line, Christopher Ciccone still loves his sister and this book is really more about their relationship than her career. They are somewhat estranged now but this is not some trashy tabloid type book. A little bit of dishing but not much. One thing I did learn, fame didn't turn Madonna into who she is now, it seemed she was that way even as a kid. Even if you aren't a hard core Madonna fan, which I'm not this was a very good book about an American icon.

So far, it seems this book is very poorly written. The timeline and his stories jump around a lot, and it just doesn't flow well.

I enjoyed this book as it was easy and dished out about the Material Girl. It was sad as well considering the two no longer speak and spent much of their adult lives together. Recommended for fun, gossipy read.

I read this out of curiosity; I never could see Madonna as behaving like a normal person to anyone. I was not surprised about what I read..she's portrayed as a narcisstic bitch by her brother, whom she apparently treated like garbage. I about lost interest in finishing the book because he became a whiner about being treated so badly, yet continued to be at her every beck and call. I hope he has grown a spine since he wrote this!

this book was better than i thought it would be. yes- it reinforces what we believe madonna is- selfish, bitchy, manipulating, self righteous and and so not deserving. its just cool to hear it from her own brother who was with her from the start.

he's obviously very into fame and name drops constantly- half the time its not relevant, but its all he really has, other than his bitterness, so..can you blame him?

was this the best book ever? nope. was it a fast, juicy read- yep. worth the short time it took to read? yep.
