A review by leucocrystal
Moonwalk by Michael Jackson

5.0

My rating of this one is clearly biased by (a) loving Michael Jackson, and (b) this being his one and only autobiography. Naturally it is, as the majority of high-profile celebrity memoirs are, partly ghost-written, but less so than you might expect (there are, in fact, audio recordings floating around out there on YouTube, of Michael dictating much of the content within this book to the author who compiled the material for it over the course of a few years, his friend Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis). Its worth and intrigue primarily lies in being one of the rarest glimpses (in the written form, anyway) into Michael's immediate thought process, as it pertains to his art, his family, his goals for the future, and his life in general. An all too brief, yet personal and illuminating, glimpse into the mind of an eccentric, lovable genius.
