Life With My Sister Madonna

By: Christopher Ciccone

Narrated by: Christopher Ciccone

Now in paperback, Christopher Ciccone’s “breathless tell-all” (Time) based on his fortyseven years of growing up with, working with, and understanding one of the most famous women of our time—Madonna.

Only Christopher can tell the full scale, riveting untold story behind the woman who has intrigued, scandalized, and entertained millions for half a century. In Life with My Sister, Christopher reveals the real woman behind Madonna’s carefully constructed mythology and glittering façade. From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended to whisk Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eighties—Christopher was with her every step of the way, experiencing all her incarnations firsthand. 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. 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. The mirror image of his legendary sister, with his acid Ciccone tongue, Christopher pulls no punches as he tells his astonishing story.©2008 Christopher Ciccone; (P)2008 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

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.

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.

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.

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.
