    <![CDATA[The pop singer Michael Jackson breaks the barrier of silence that has surrounded his private life. He recalls a childhood that was both harsh and joyful, the transformation of the Jackson Five into worldwide stardom, his sometimes difficult relationships with his family, and the inspiration and drive behind his music. He also talks about show-business friends such as Diana Ross, Paul McCartney, Fred Astaire and Marlon Brando, and about his decision to have extensive plastic surgery. The book is illustrated with family photographs.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This seemed like a very careful biography to me, with an obvious agenda to do a little damage control with the press.  Seeing as it was written in 1988, it's interesting to read it knowing what we know now about Michael Jackson.  I think it would be safe to say he was not entirely truthful about cer...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72689560">more...</a>]]></body>

He really does seem like a gentle soul.  I think it sounds like he was not yet addicted to painkillers when he wrote this.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this book. The most surprising thing to me was how driven M.J. was. It was insightful to see how his life was when he was young. I got bored when he went into so much detail about all the songs and people he knew. Still, I would recommend it to any MJ fan. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What can I say..a good book..but sad at the same time. I adored MJ and have been devistated by his death. Reading this brought back a TON of great memories about his songs and talent-and reminded me what a truly truly fantastic artist he was. I was glad to read it. And I was sad when it was done.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62455744">more...</a>]]></body>
