After having the pleasure of attending the Tribute Concert in Cardiff, this book has taken on a particular poignancy for me. I had the privilege of seeing Gladys Knight and Smokey Robinson perform live after reading how The Jacksons had met and idolised them in their early years! Anyway, enough of that(:-))- Jermaine's descriptions of their tiny home, their emotions, the hardwork and dedication required before being spotted and an explaination of how these experiences shaped theirs and Michael Jackson's lives is wonderful and a pleasure to read.
Having now finished the book, I would thoroughly recommend it to fans and those who have an interest in the life of Michael Jackson.
Jermaine Jackson's memory and detail provide an insight into how Michael's life was shaped and an understanding of the turmoils and distrust that he had to endure. The description of his last days preparing for the "This is it" tour is particularly poignant given that we are currently in the middle of the trial of Dr Conrad Murray. The book also gives you the feeling that Jermaine had a feeling of bewilderment once Michael Jackson left the Jacksons to pursue a solo career and they stopped performing regularly.

To summarise - if you are a fan read it, if you are not a fan read it anyway as it will dispell some of the myths surrounding his life.
