Good Information

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I have read a lot of Michael Jackson biographies since his death, some of which were re-hashes of things others had already published. This one is quite different and I was very pleased with it. This book covers the 1970s and early 1980s, up to approximately the time of Thriller. There is a lot of information here about Michael's early days that I hadn't read before. It is mainly culled from magazine interviews and articles -- so if you happen to have read all those early-days articles, you may not get as much from this as I did. But if you're more familiar with Michael since Thriller onward, you'd probably really enjoy this book for a glimpse into the early Michael.

The Michael Jackson Story

Thank you, Nelson George for such a fabulous book. I am a little late in reading as I was unaware of its existence until recently. I enjoyed every single word written; the only regret I have is that the stories were too short!!! I am aware that the author has a new book (that is now out) called Thriller and I can hardly wait to get my ordered copy and begin delving in the pages. I only hope the new book will be a little longer. Mr. George, you are a great writer and I am going to check out your memoir and other books you have written.

good debut book by Nelson George

I remember back in 83 buying this book. this was Nelson George's first Book. it was a quick cool read on MJ from his Jackson five days through "Thriller". it had some random things about MJ's favorite artists & things which was cool. i remember lending this book to a Chick I was digging back in the day. about 8-9 years ago I went into a Used Book store & Found this Book again. I got it again. Huge MJ fan & always will be. Huge Respect & Props to Nelson George as well.
