Real Insight!!!

What did you love best about Life with My Sister Madonna?

Learning how Madonna thinks. Finding out that much of what she wants you (the public) is a fraud. This is more than something coming from her brother. This is coming from a brother that she trusted in and confided in and really lets the facts be known.

Real emotions

I liked the book and felt it was easy to follow. Listening to her brother's presentation it felt quite real and emotional. The perfect length.

Very Enttertaining

I loved this audiobook. It was filled with all kinds of fun facts about Madonna and was an interesting perspective. The narration is a little boring and monotone, but the stories keep you going.

From one point of view

I enjoyed the boom to hear the different perspective. I wish Christopher wasn’t upset when writing this as I’m sure
It caused family strain. Interesting info to just sit with and pondering whats the truth. I believe we all have our own perspectives and feelings and that’s what you get. The added bonus additional info on their childhood.

Interesting and good narration

I found this to be a touching story about siblings.
I hadn't realized how much he worked with her for years.

Juicy, Revealing, full of Suprises

This as a quick listen that I really enjoyed. I've LOVED Madonna for years but this book comes as no suprise. IT's always interesting to get the "inside scoop" on the life of a famous person. I can understand why this book was at once painful and cathartic for Christopher to write. Here's to a job well done!

Interesting book

I was expecting a rather nasty tell-all book but feel that Christopher Ciccone gave a very balanced and fair portrayal of Madonna and his relationship with her. I was even surprised at how he seemed to defend some of her actions. Christopher narrates the book himself which makes it more interesting although his delivery is quite monotone. Overall, it's an interesting book but if you are looking for any gossip like details, you won't find it here. It's a mature read and one which is good for passing a quiet afternoon.

Honest Credible and Heartbreaking

narration was solid and conversational.
very intimate and personal, fair and balanced.

overall great read full of personal relatable life lessons.

bless his heart.

Great Book

This was a really good book. I don't know why there was so much criticism about this book...as if he stabbed Madonna in the back. I don't think he did at all. I think he was fair but it's not like he revealed a bunch of "deep dark secrets". It was well told and quite honest. And, as is the case with ALL the varieties of biographies, it was definitely made better by the fact that HE narrates!

Finally Free

I was not quiet sure what I was going to learn about a woman, an icon who shaped most of my youth. no one like to meet their heroes in person for fear they may fall short of the pedestal you have made for them. Hearing her brothers pov put things in a more real setting and really Cleary showed the reader just how human she really is and how dysfunctional they really are/were. I guess they really are just people after all.
