So much has now been said and written about the life and career of Michael Jackson that it has become almost impossible to disentangle the man from the myth. Rumours abound; his own statements often fail to clarify controversial issues. The truth may be stranger than any fiction, such is the uniqueness of the world in which he lives, and his vision of the world. Recent revelations are of course only the latest instalments of a saga that began decades ago, and simply add more twists to an already-tangled family epic. This book is the fruit of over 30 years of research and intimate knowledge, and hundreds of interviews, including some with Jackson himself, provide access to the very closest circles of the Jackson family and their associates. Cutting through tabloid rumours and innuendo, J. Randy Taraborrelli traces the real story behind the Michael Jackson we see and hear today, from his drilling as a child star through the blooming of his talent to his ever-changing personal appearance and bizarre publicity stunts.

This is NOT Michael Jackson. This is more about who Taraborrelli is being than who Michael was being.
Michael didn't even remember him. MIchael was all for the love; Taraborrelli is all for the money. Sad.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS
This is a very comprehensive book about Michael Jackson's life from a well established source and journalist with an outstanding reputation who has known Jackson personally for many years. It covers Michael's life right up until after the trials he endured - and including his two marriages updated in 2003. It is easy to read and yet thoroughly researched and factual. I do not think this is just tacky made up text to sell books. If you want a good appraisal of what made Michael tick, an appreciation of his talent and the sadness that fame and fortune brought him without any histrionics this is the book for you.
