This was the best reading till now about MJ's life and kindness. Really clarified some off the real stuff that was going on with their lives, he and his children, and the way it was written its just amazing and exciting. Thanks to the authors for sharing this special experience. This was great! Read it in two days, couldn't stopped!

ام انهي قراءته لكن اشتريته بناء على ترشيحات كثيرة و لانه صادق، تغليفه جيد و وصل سليما و بسرعة

Ich finde es mega. Das hat mich zu ihm viel näher gebracht als ich eh schon bin. Und da sieht man auch das er eben ein ganz normaler Mensch war der mit Sachen kämpfen musste die echt traurig waren. Aber da sieht man auch wie er als Vater war und es sind halt echt süße Momente mit seinen Kindern drin. Ich dachte mir „Alter was für 4 süße Nudeln"😂Ich liebe diese family wirklich Michael mit Prince, Paris und Bigi... einfach cute. Ich habe es nicht fertig gelesen noch aber dabei. Love it❤️

The guys who wrote this book are great, it gives some insight into Michael Jackson’s life. They were good to have persevered when the going got tough and they did not receive regular pay cheques, some would have resigned. I felt Michael was insensitive at times and rubbed their noses in it, especially when he went on his spending sprees buying thousands of dollars worth of toys and flying on private jets and staying in top hotels, large suitcases of money, get this, get that, was he truly broke? On the one hand Michael was described as an angel but there appears to be another side to him that appeared unscrupulous. I do think people around Michael caused problems for him but Michael also caused problems for Michael. He would have known he did not have the stamina or strength to do 1 concert let alone 10 then 50. Where were the two women friend and flower when he might have needed a listening ear or words of wisdom? Could no one see this man was not well! The ‘This Is It’ footage shows there was no enthusiasm in his moves and he looked weak and fragile, you could she his mental anguish. He always seemed to be wearing layers of clothes or extremely baggy clothes almost to hide his thin frame. I still fail to understand why he did not sell the Sony catalogue pay his debts and move on to a more quieter, peaceful life out of the public gaze, with his children, which he craved so much and gave himself time heal from his 2005 trial and his other problems, maybe the odd concert for nostalgia. He might have still been with us today. It appeared some did not care for Michael to notice his failing health, what they forgot was that Michael was the money maker and when he died he took the cash machine with him. For all those who started to appear in Michael’s life once he announced his comeback tour, all those people who wanted to get there hands on his money, all those lawsuits, if he had succeeded at his marathon tour what money would have been left for Michael?

This book is to be cherished. This is the kind of book once you read it, you will go back and read it again and again.By sharing their experience and the way they perceived every moment they spent in protecting and serving Michael gives you the feeling of being part of those days of Michael's life. You can feel the love,loyalty, respect and honesty from the bodyguards along with their dedication to protect their "boss". I enjoyed the style that makes you laugh at some parts but cry at others. Reading this book and seeing Michael through the eyes of these guards just made me love Michael even more if that is possible. It gave a little window into his private life, how he was with his children, his relationship with his fans and the people around him, how much he cared and wanted to help people and also how isolated and trapped he was. I am grateful for this book, it is an authentic, honest and straight forward description of what these body guards lived and understood of that time they spent around him. I can recommend it for all who keep Michael in their heart. I read all the books that was worthy of reading about him and this book made the list.
