Perhaps the worst I've ever read, and I've read a lot of books!<br/><br/>I'll qualify this review by telling you that I chose this book at the airport because I wanted something simple and fun to read on my 14 hour flight to Tokyo.

    <body><![CDATA[My biggest beef with this book is how insanely delusional Christopher is. There really wasn't a point to this book at all besides Christopher cashing in on his sister's name.

    <body><![CDATA[God, Christopher Ciccone is whiny. And catty. There is really no new information about Madonna in this book, it’s just Christopher whining about how she’s mistreated him all these years. Basically, every time he works for her, she rips him off (doesn’t pay him fairly, replaces him at the last ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45418653">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I am giving this book two stars because it did manage to keep me focused and I read it very quickly. However, the grammar is atrocious and I don't recommend the book if you have no real interest in Madonna. I grew up listening to the diva, and so out of curiosity I engaged myself in what I thought w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78523892">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<strong>&lt;big&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;Madonna up close, by the brother who knows her better than anyone.</strong><p>Christopher Ciccone's extraordinary memoir is based on his forty-seven years of growing up with, working with, and understanding the most famous woman of our time, who has intrigued, scandalized, and entertained millions for half a century.<p>Through most of the iconic star's kaleidoscopic career, Christopher played an important role in her life: as her backup dancer, her personal assistant, her dresser, her decorator, her art director, her tour director.<p>If you think you know everything there is to know about Madonna, you are wrong.  Only Christopher can tell the full scale, riveting untold story behind Madonna's carefully constructed mythology, and the real woman behind the glittering façade.<p>From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended, then whisked Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eighties, where he slepton her roach-infested floor and danced with her in clubs all over town -- Christopher was with her every step of the way, experiencing her first hand in all her incarnations. The spoiled daddy's girl, the punk drummer, the raunchy Boy Toy, Material Girl, Mrs. Sean Penn, Warren Beatty's glamorous Hollywood paramour, loving mother, Mrs. Guy Ritchie, English grande dame -- Christopher witnessed and understood all of them, as his own life was inexorably entwined with that of his chameleon sister.<p>He tangled with a cast of characters from artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, to Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Demi Moore, and, of course, Guy Ritchie, whose advent in Madonna's life splintered the loving relationship Christopher once had with her.<p>The mirror image of his legendary sister, with his acid Ciccone tongue, Christopher pulls no punches as he tells his astonishing story.<p><em>Life with My Sister Madonna</em> is the juicy, can't-put-it-down story you've always wanted to hear, as told by Madonna's younger brother.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]>

I've been really into listening to celebrity memoirs while driving lately, and while some have been great (Steve Martin) others, not so much (Paula Poundstone).
