The author obviously despises Madonna.

Mark Bego bows to the fame again - he seems to be genuinely awed by stars - however, this time his book is actually more interesting than his usual work for the simple reason that subject is so fascinating. I was there in the early 1980s and I remember - Cindy Lauper was the first and we all assumed Madonna was just a cheap, gum-chewing copy who wouldn't last. To our biggest surprise, Lauper fizzled away and Madonna was the one who continued to grow, change and metamorphosed into perhaps the most famous (notorious?) female pop star of the 20 century. I have managed to live three decades without buying into Madonna cult and only grudgingly came to admit she is successful on every level - which in my eyes still don't make her any more likable, however the book was very interesting.

I enjoyed this one a lot. Only one inaccuracy which was the listing of Madonna as backing vocals on Michael Jackson's 'In The Closet.' She was SUPPOSED to be on that track but isn't.
