Amazon.co.uk Review
Sex, thighs and videotapes; all this and much more can be found in Debbi Voller's Madonna: The Style Book, which takes us from the boyish Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone of 1978 to the mother of Lourdes, twenty years later. Proudly advertising itself as an unofficial and unauthorised account of Madonna, Voller's book is glamorous and gushing. It breaks the diva and her myth down into digestible sections--The Look, Sex and Religion, Fame and Power, Into the Nineties, Evita, and Earth Mother-- imaginatively peppered with sound bites on Madonna from the likes of Martin Amis, Julie Burchill and Vogue.
The book treads a wonderfully gossipy line between bitchiness--"Madonna seemed to have a weight problem when she first emerged in the New York discos"--and adulation--"Once again, Madonna had become an inspiring role model for women". The sections on how to achieve that 'Madonna Night-and-Day Look' were particularly funny (apparently you need to be blonde for the evening and brunette for the day), but Voller is good on following the twists and turns in Madonna's look as well as her views. For a glitzy book on a glamorous rock star, this is pretty good. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
This work attempts to analyze the style and look that has made Madonna one of the most successful female pop artists in history. Concentrating on her fashion sense, it traces her clothes from the cheap but colourful look of her early career to the more sophisticated haute couture of today.

Format:Paperback
This book is a true Style Book. It features articles on Madonna's style, how to look like Madonna, the clothes she wears and an insight into her personality. Beautiful colour pictures feature, rare pictures covering eras; from the beautiful and majestic poses of the True Blue years, to the Brunette queen of religious erotiscism, from the Virginial Boy Toy to the Marylin Monroe look-alike, from the 'Spressed Up Power Woman to the Subdued and Spiritualised Earth Mother. It's all here. So buy this book NOW.

This book contains some of the best photos from all stages of Madonna's life. It includes photos from her childhood to mother-hood and all of the ups and downs inbetween. Personally, for me, this is one of the best Madonna books I have had the pleasure of reading. Its an extensive biography into the style of Madonna, and boy...what style she has!!! For any Madonna fans out there...this is a must have. I recommend it to all...Superb

Key To My Heart
2 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
The one and only regret of purchasing this book is that I should have purchase it the time when it first came out. If I'm ever given a chance I would have rated it 10 STARS **********. It's not that I do not know everything about Madge after years of being a fan(I believe I'm not just 'some' fan), but after reading this book it gives me a revision of insightful aspect of what she has been doing to the(my) world and the kind of impact that she has had on me. All in all, it's an eye-opener only that it opens up my heart as well. (...)
