Quote from: "MJonmind"Could you list the title, authors, and whether nice or nasty to MJ? Maybe other readers could comment on different ones. I've only read 3/4 of my MJ the magic and the madness book. From learning on these sites, I now don't accept as true tons of details I read. He was after all a reporter who knew MJ very distantly through others mostly. Have you read MJ's autobiography Moonwalker, it's so different from the others and so beautiful!
Yep, I read that first because I wanted to hear from Michael before I heard from everyone else. I didn't think it was beautiful really, I thought it was boring..lol..but not because I didn't want to read that book. It was because all that he talked about was just life as he knew it (go to a concert, lull time, business, go to a concert..lol). Poor thing was so young still in his saga. The thing I did like about that book as you got to see him like he would put it, that is most important. I would read it again.
I think it interesting to note here (about the The Final Years) that Ian Halperin doesn't interject his opinion MUCH, except in the beginning when he says he was going to expose Jackson as a molester.( his mind changes as he investigates) It was good work he did and a lot of it shone a great light on Michael. Some of the other stuff that might make fans uncomfortable, looks like came from sources close to Jackson and seemed very credible. Ian didn't seem to judge him on this things but just stated that the sources said this.
I start reading the book you are reading today.
