Making Michael: Inside the Career of Michael Jackson

Great book on Michael Jackson

This book is written very well, albeit a couple of things were repeated it nonetheless offers an insight into the creation of songs and albums that no other book has ever touched upon. Interviews with those who worked so closely with Michael Jackson are informative and having read many books on MJ I discovered so much that's new. This book has you hooked right from the very start as you follow the superstar's career from start right through to his tragic early death with no stone unturned. A must read for any MJ fan and for those who have an admiration for a man so complex through his genius and perfectionism. Not so many photos and with such a detailed book there doesn't need to be. Great front cover image and the book has a great feel to it, good choice of stock.

This book is brilliant. Its so insightful and very detailed. Finally a book talking about the magic that was Michael Jacksons music and not his personal life. I've waited so long for a book talking about ONLY his music and how everything was created. From Off The Wall right up until Invincible, work on every album is extremely detailed & also detailed on songs that never made it onto any albums. highly recommend this book to any and every Michael Jackson fan! RIP Michael Jackson!

as an mj and music fan really liked this book. deals mostly with music making without being too technical and has lots of facts u may not know. maybe with editing cud have been tightened up a bit but for non fiction no prob.

This is an amazing book for fans of Michael's MUSIC. Focusing on how the albums are made and all the technical aspects surrounding them. Incredible detail on sound design, how different versions of songs on the BAD album emerged etc. A couple of curious ommissions surrounding the Remixes and MJ's attitude towards them, but otherwise all the other allegations and gossip surrounding MJ takes a back seat and is only mentioned to establish his mindframe for when he made, say, the HIStory album. Amazing detail for anyone interested in the actual music.

Brilliant book. Im a huge fan but this book contained a lot of new material that even I didnt know as a 25+ year fan. Reading the details about the Thriller sessions - the mixing and mastering process especially - had my palms sweaty and my heart racing. I almost felt I was there! Beautifully written and an amazing read. Exactly what it says - a journey through MIchael's career. Fantastic and would recommend it to all.

Was hoping for a different kind of content. These were most recollections of Michael's life by others and I was hoping for more content from MJ himself.

I am a massive of Michael Jackson since I was 7, and I definitely recommend this book to any MJ fan. The book is so interesting, and focuses on music rather than scandals. I could read it over and over again and still discover new things. The author has done a huge work, you can tell, and I absolutely loved this book. Forever, Michael... <3
