I like Michael Jackson. But man, this book was weak. You can learn almost anything in it from any documentary based on him/his life. It was not very in depth. He does mention he likes to be private and he took "writing" this book as a chance to explain some things, but still, not much to it. Plus, it felt like it was written by a 16 year old, not someone in their late 20s. However, I did find out he didn't even write this book; he had a "ghost writer" do it for him. Is this worth the read? If you're a huge MJ fan, sure, if you're just curious of him, no.
