• Eh!
  Well, it's not horrible but I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't pay for it.
  Mr Ciccone claims that one of the two precepts by which both he and his sister try to live their lives is keeping their word...this, no more than a few pages after Madonna cajoles him to move to New York and live with her (she reneges) and asks him to be one of her dancers (she hires someone else).
  Both Mister Ciccone and Madonna seems to be permanently scarred by the early death of their mother.....y'know... more info

• Life with My Sister Madonna Book
  If I disliked her before reading the book (and I did), I detested her after reading. I would guess she makes life pretty miserable for everyone around her, including her children.

• Not Exactly a Madonna Bio
  This was an ok light read. It is a memoir of Christopher Ciccone, not strictly a Madonna bio. Madonna is part of the story only because Chris spent a good part of his life working for her.
  It reads kind of like a day diary. It chronicles his life and his feelings. It's not really that deep and doesn't spend a lot of time on when they were children.
  Chris is constantly being manipulated by Madonna into a client-customer relationship where he is being taken advantage of both as to being underpaid... more info

• Fun, but perhaps defeated the purpose?
  I admit that this book captured and maintained my interest. However, I can't help but feel that he had other motives (money)for creating this book. I believe 70% of what he says, but would have loved to hear Madonna's side of his story. As for Christopher, I don't understand how someone with so much talent (interior design, furniture etc.) and with so many powerful connections, can be broke ALL THE TIME. I am tempted to believe Madonna's accusations that Christopher is a drug addict after all.more info
