Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This one is really good!! It covers all the way up to Celebration and the pics inside are very HQ and also it's super cheap!! The book big also http://www.amazon.com/Madonna-Daryl-Easlea/dp/1435125444 I don't like it, it has many mistakes (language) and inaccuracies.

george28 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The last Madonna book I read was Christopher's book and although it was interesting at the same time I am sure he did overexagerate quite a bit just to make the book even more interesting and for him to squeeze a few more dollars out of it. Like the part where his kimono caught on fire and Madonna showed no care or compassion about it and just told him to put it back on for some sort of event she was hosting at her house or something like that, in the Ray Of Light days. That part to me sounded fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I actually liked this one a lot. Unfortunately I have come to accept that almost all music books have a random careless error or two. It's very annoying. But I put the Daryl Easlea book second only to Caroline Sullivan's in terms of great analyses of Madonna's albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ah, and I'm so happy I FINALLY learned why EROTICA's Did You Do It was added to the album. Hah, that was a rather cool fact/story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part to me sounded fake. Is it true that he had to delete some stories because of legal issues? There was a blog a few years ago and it featured some weird stories, allegedely taken from Chris' book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madomination Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I like the books that delve into/analyze her work (of which there are many). Any specific ones that you can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madomination Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Plus, even if Chris was so underpaid, he still earned several hundred thousand dollars by his own admission. Most of which I think, he blew away on drugs (oh yeah, doing a key line with Jack Nicholson!) and from the book he wrote, he apparently signed away 100K to some ex-lover. Moron!

lautnerfied Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Mammoth Book of Madonna offers a one-of-a-kind look at the Queen of Pop’s phenomenally successful career, just in time for the 30th anniversary of her first major tour, The Virgin Tour. Unlike other biographies, this book will not focus on the scandals about botox and boy toys, but instead include reviews, interviews, commentary, and Madonna’s own reflections that highlight her incredible success. Including a specially designed cover and beautiful, full-color photography throughout, this must-have volume will shed new light on Madonna’s videos, books, tours, fashion, and charity work for her millions of fans around the world. http://www.amazon.com/Mammoth-Book-Madonna-Michelle-Morgan/dp/0762456213/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1424396666&sr=8-5&keywords=Michelle+Morgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloane Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Great timing w/ this thread bc I've been getting into musical bios lately. Just read ALL The Police autobios and unofficial stuff. Now onto M, who I've only read about maybe 2 books total all my life. Right now I'm reading, I think it's called, "M." There's a big M on the cover anyway. I think the author is Andrew Morton. It's okay.. it passes the time. It goes into a lot of her movies and marriages/relationships —the absolute least interesting things about Madonna to me. I mean he barely talks about LAP and never even hints that M went through her first drastic career change (reinvention) between LAV and True Blue. I got it used for 7 bucks. Whatever.

Sloane Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I hated Christopher's book. Not out of betrayal, but out of bad writing. His triumphant Thanksgiving moment of putting out the butter is the saddest thing I've ever read. Lucy O'Brien's "Like An Icon" has some good analysis of the albums and the recording processes. The Encyclopedia Madonnica is the greatest. I really hope the updated volume happens. I think about that passage every now and then. I always picture M storming off to get the butter wearing her Reinvention tour jacket and black shorts LOL idk why. I liked Christopher's book. Read it in 2 days.
