About this ebook

As fans of entertainers our voice is often overlooked. We are passed off as simple fans who really don't know to much. The media, with all their experts, reports, opinions, and speculations are often times not the truth. For the first time the fans of Michael Jackson will speak out. False reports and rumors are exposed in this book and the Author provides in indepth look at the media theories and speculations. The fans finally have a book that expresses what they know to be the truth about The Icon of Music Michael Jackson. The Author takes you through Michael Jackson life from the viewpoint of a fan. Backed by intense research and interview from noted film-maker and defense witness for Michael Jackson Larry Nimmer who also wrote this about the book.

"You've done excellent research and there were some things that I learned that I didn't know. It was interesting what you had to say about the accusers and about his dad, Joe Jackson. I liked your comparison that Americans will sleep with animals in their bed but they are not accused of bestailiaty... good comparison... You've presented a convincing story about people who fabricated stories for personal gain, including the media, at the expense of Michael Jackson... great job and very interesting." Larry Nimmer

Ratings and reviews

I get some of it but the majority is just ranting at the media, we all know their harsh, they've sparked rumours which were very stressful to Michael, but the fans dont want to hear a rant they want to know what the truth was and with very little evidence and a whole lot of speculation and in their opinion this has got it so wrong. I read just half of this book before binning it, in my opinion ill use this as the author so often does, this is just ranting from a fan who never met michael doesnt claim to have either, has not really been a huge fan until after his death an concentrates too much on speculation. Using evidence an sources from wikipedia the most unreliable source of evidence around it lacks somewhat a sence of realisum. The book has been badly written too, too many spelling mistakes, too many errors within the editing and has a very rushed 8th grade homework assignment feel. Save your money or read Jermaine Jackson's book about his brother.

In my personal opinion Mr Henning comes across in his book as not that of a fan of Michael, but of his music. A true Jackson fan is a fan of both. 5% of this book is speculation and the other 95% is what we have been reading for years. 'The book the media dosent want you to read', that's because you've already read it. I brought this book on paperback and it will stay in my collection, but I brought it in the hope of reading something differant, as the title told me it would.But I didn't, sorry.

Man MJ is so my idol he is the best entertainer i'll ever know and my only idol. #LOVEYOUMICHAEL
