When I decided to purchase this book i did so because I have seen the author on numerous television shows talking about michael and thought that he would give a fairly accurate account of michael's life, and it turns out that I was right. instead of portraying michael as a weird child molester he portrays him as a caring, somewhat eccentric musical genius. I know that michael has his faults but who does'nt? he chronicles everything from the victory tour to michael's marriage with lisa marie to the hyperbaric chamber.
