The Book MJ Himself Would Have Wanted Written

I was in Budapest when I met Michael Jackson (he was filming a video and was still married to Lisa Marie). The Michael Jackson I spent some time with would have approved of this book. The author has gone to great lengths to portray things from MJ's point of view. It is balanced and fair in describing Michael's downward spiral. There are extensive notes and a multitude of well documented sources. The story is not pretty but then again it never was. Michael would want his fans to read this book.
