A review by sailorsappho
Moonwalk by Michael Jackson

informative sad fast-paced

5.0

I give this a 5/5 because I truly cannot fully "rate" an autobiography. I can't tell someone that they didn't tell their own life story well because I wasn't there. However, I will say that this is the only publication out there that is from Michael's perspective, not influenced by any alterior motives or bias (negative or positive). I was glad to know that Michael wrote this as I wanted to learn more about him without this air of controversy or secrets being "unlocked". Since he is dead, it doesn't feel right. 

As far as the content is concerned, there is a lot of images and the way Michael writes is unlike most books. He writes as if he is talking to you, as if you are with him, speaking his own thoughts and that's what I found most charming and endearing about this book. I feel bad that there wasn't any updates after the book was put out. However, given the sensitivity towards the end of his life, I do understand.
