Excerpt: Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone; August 16, 1958) is an American recording artist, actress and entrepreneur. Born in Bay City, Michigan, she moved to New York City in 1977 to pursue a career in modern dance. After performing in pop groups, she released her debut album in 1983. She followed it with a series of albums in which she found immense popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV. Throughout her nearly three-decade career, most of her songs have hit number one on the record charts, including "Like a Virgin", "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Music", "Hung Up", and "4 Minutes". Madonna has been praised by critics for her diverse musical productions while at the same time serving as a lightning rod for religious-related controversy. Her popularity was further enhanced by a film career that began in 1985, but has received mixed commentary. She won critical acclaim and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her role in Evita (1996), but has received harsh feedback for other film roles. Madonna's other ventures include being a fashion designer, children's book author, film director and producer, and owner of her own recording company Maverick corporation, as...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=142056 ...

Horrible
I think Leo is cute and all that, but to actually devote an entire picture book to this higly arrogant and pretentious star is sinful. More importantly, its boring.

This book is rather comprehensive, of course, except that its pre-'The Beach'. So we get to see lots of Leo in his Titanic hey-day, looking as swollen as a goose. Thankfully, there are no nude shots of this actor. Anyone whos seen 'The Beach' knows the body that Leo has and not many people are interested in it, I understand. I for one, am not.

In any case, if Leo is your cup of tea, visit a bookstore and flick through this, but for heaven's sake don't buy it! Not at all recommended.

Maturity of a very elegant young man
I am not a heart-throb teen-ager, in fact it has been many years since I was a teen-ager.I speak for a lot of us who watched this young man as a child actor and somehow always knew in the back of our minds that thepotential was there for one great actor. I think this book certainlyreflects some of the roles that he played which I believe he feels were nothis best but it was all a learning experience which has set the precedentfor the great actor that he is today. The book gives a great review fromthe beginning of his career to the present.The only negative comment thatI possible may have is the fact I would have liked to read a little moreabout his latest movie which of course was The Beach.Otherwise, it was agreat book with a lot of coverage.I will look forward in the future toother books about this young man,s career. ...
