Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of Madonna

Book Review: His research was mainly copying previous bios!!
Summary: 1 Stars

I class myself as a fan of her music who knows a little about her life story, but i was amazed even i could find SO many inaccuracies in this book that i found it frightening.

For example

a. Morton states at one point that Hollywood execs were nervous about letting James Foley direct Who's That Girl as his previous experience was only directing 'Papa don't preach', 'Live to tell' and 'Open your heart' ( p143 )

FACT- James Foley directed Sean Penn in 'At Close Range' prior to any of those vids.

ANYONE WHO HAS ACCESS TO THE INTERNET COULD FIND THIS INFO IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES FLAT.

Whats even more amazing is that in the Videography section in the rear the correct video directors are named ( J.B Mondino for 'Open').

b. Morton states that it was 18 months between Guy Ritchie and Madonna first meeting and their wedding ( p226).

Hello--so there are 18 months between summer 1998 and Dec 2000?

There are so many inaccuracies like this that are even beyond what a decent proofreader should pick up.

Also there are literally lines lifted from other bios that are not even acknowledged.

And as for his analysis of Madonna, well Mr Morton, don't give up the day job.

On second thought , please do.
