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. Recent revelations are only the latest instalments of a saga that began decades ago. This book is the fruit of over 30 years of research and hundreds of exclusive interviews with a remarkable level of access to the very closest circles of the Jackson family - including Michael himself. Cutting through tabloid rumours, 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 major biography includes the behind-the-scenes story to many of the landmarks in Jackson's life: his legal and commercial battles, his marriages to Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe, his passions and addictions, his children. Objective and revealing, it carries the hallmarks of all of Taraborrelli's best-sellers: impeccable research, brilliant storytelling and definitive documentation.

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.
