Synopsis

At the age of forty-three, with a career that spans two decades and ranges from the scandalous to the transcendent, Madonna is a bigger phenomenon than ever. But who is the private woman behind the public image? Andrew Morton, whose #1 New York Times bestsellers about Princess Diana and Monica Lewinsky have proved his ability to gain access to insiders who won't talk to anyone else, answers that question in this decidedly unauthorized biography. Morton's extensive, in-depth interviews with members of Madonna's inner circle - lovers, friends (even as far back as school friends), and business connections, many of whom have never spoken before now - allow him to go behind the carefully constructed myths to unmask the real Madonna. Andrew Morton is able to make startling revelations, among them the real story of Madonna's family background; the events behind the violent attack that changed her views on sex and men; her relationships with Michael Jackson, Prince, John F. Kennedy Jr., Vanilla Ice, and other rock and Hollywood stars; the mystery man she wanted to marry; and the darkest days of her career when she threatened to quit show business. From motherless child to wife and mother, from "boy toy" to fiercely independent diva, Madonna is one of the most remarkable women of our time.

Goodreads review by Kitt-e-kat on September 04, 2010

The beginning few chapters are slow cause it talks about her italian family ancestors and how her parents met. When Madonna was born the chapters were most interesting. This is written by hear-say and by people she knew so not sure how much is really true. From all the documentaries I've read about......more

Goodreads review by Mandy on May 17, 2015

An in-depth look at the carefully constructed making of an icon, what drove her outrageous behavior and her insatiable hunger for fame. No surprise at her rumored illuminati affiliations because her need for adulation and love seemed to have broken her moral/ethical compass, but I do give her tremen......more

Goodreads review by Becky on May 08, 2019

It was a good book, lots of stuff I'd never heard before. Unfortunately, I've never been a big Madonna fan. I'd hoped maybe this audiobook would change my mind, but it didn't. She just seems so slutty and finding out more about how she'd do just about anything to become famous and stay there only co......more
