Best book out there for The King Of Pop Louisa I have read all of the books and mags out there- This book was a good tribute to his life-It was more real than the rest. It did not try to make him a saint or a sinner-just a human being, just a man. His talent and his love are truly awsome and he gave all of his heart and soul to making others life better.. marlee p. said same book different cover. This is another book written about Michael Jackson with a different cover but the same story that several other authors have written. Where is the money going for this book? Right into your pocket. Why don't you try giving it to charity just like Michael Jackson would have. Shame on you for riding on the coa. "Good Reading, But Too Many Factual Errors" according to No Zombies. This book contains virtually all information that is available elsewhere; however, I found the writing style and flow to be more engaging than most I've read. I would like to have given it 5 stars, but there were way too many factual errors.
