    <body><![CDATA[Christopher comes across as a spiteful, celebrity obsessed, hanger-on who is clearly suffering from a severe case of jealousy.  <br/><br/>Why is he always broke?  After reading for the 12th time that he has &quot;reluctantly&quot; taken another job offer from his sister, I starting thinking &quot;enough already!&quot;  If he hates working for her so much, than find another employer, or.....here's something he hasn't thought of.....SAVE some money instead of going to overpriced clubs with Naomi Campbell and living a lifestyle he clearly can't afford.  <br/><br/>He has the opportunity to fly around the world, and visit places most people only hope they can see, and he complains that she doesn't get him 1st class tickets, or hotel suites?  Pay for your own upgrade!!!!  <br/><br/>I really felt like all she was trying to teach him was to stand on his own two feet, instead of waiting around for her to hand him a life.  If he liked directing concerts so much, why couldn't he do it for other entertainers?  If he liked decorating so much, why couldn't he do it for other people?  He spent the last 25 years waiting in the wings for her next handout.  Just because she has money, shoudn't make her responsible for the other 10 adults in her family.  <br/><br/>Plus, the writing style was very juvenile, and littered with typos.  I don't know if the typos are his fault, or the publishers, but they're frequent, and annoying.  <br/><br/>Half way through this &quot;tell-all&quot; I was pretty frustrated with Christopher, but I kept reading, waiting for some juicy tid bit to be revealed, and it never was, much to my disappointment.  The book just got worse, and Christopher's whining just got louder.  <br/><br/>]]></body>
