This year, I want to read biographies from different book publishers to compare their writing and comprehension of any given subject. This is my second book on Michael Jackson. This book has more photos and a more comprehensive explanation of a complex character -- Michael Jackson.

Long ago, Michael Jackson talked about rumors he created about himself. Unfortunately, this ebook shows that his sense of humor came back to bite him. After the stories got wackier, they snowballed into a persona of Michael being way too weird. By the time of his last court case, all of the noble things he'd done were nothing compared to his weirdness.

I like the quotes from Michael. They showed how he was affected by his early life. However, I was surprised by Stephen King's selection. When did he become an authority on Michael Jackson?
