Read this book in one sitting only taking breaks to bawl my eyes out. Definitely one of the most insightful, interesting, eye opening things I've read on THE MAN in 32 years. It is not sugary sweet but it very respectfully shows exactly why MJ was the way he was.
If I ruled the world I'd make everyone read it.
I wish Michael had more people with this amount of integrity in his life.
If you thought you knew just how crazy his life was in terms of lack of privacy and how he has been constantly used and abused by everyone around him... believe me this book will still surprise you.
I am sure I will come back to this book and reread it several times because it was a lot to take in in one day.

I started reading this in 2014 and just managed to finish the last three chapters today to complete finish a few more books for my goal before the year ends. It was surprisingly very nice to read about his last few days and quite satisfying knowing the thoughts of those who genuinely cared for him not out of greed or ambition. Holds a special place in my heart because it is about Michael Jackson and it was sort of bittersweet reaching the ending and having to accept again that wonderful person is really gone.

Wow. Excellent. The two guards seem to have SO much empathy. I remain skeptical and take it all with a grain of salt, but it was very persuasive. It seemed genuine, honest, and balanced. There are several parts that might make you cry, especially the end. I loved reading this book. Now I want to read Michael's autobio.
