You are Not Alone: Michael: Through a Brother's Eyes by Jermaine Jackson
4.0
You will learn a whole lot about who Michael Jackson was. This book will fill in the same blanks the media filled, only with the truth. I have become extremely heartbroken with the way the media industry made Michael Jacksons life. To know and study who he really was is to fall in love, L-O-V-E, with a man who gave so much of himself to the world, through insane rumors and headlines, he kept his chin up and fought back by not changing and keeping the love first in his heart. He's the top-dog under-dog and though he's gone, his music, love, message and influence live on. We should all learn to be more like Michael Jackson.
Jermaine goes into many if not most of all the headlines and rumors and gives you the real story and the reactions. We see MJ through his brothers eyes. Filled with love but not excluding the bad side. The side of MJ that could cause hurt, like distancing himself from his brothers or his impulses that would lead to others including Jermaine having to pick up the pieces. With such distance between them you get the whole story of the closeness before and then during their parting of ways to pursuit their own artistic careers and then the solo years. No one is a total saint, not even Michael but he was not the man in the headlines.
I recommend doing research while reading this book because there was one point where I was thrown. Totally irrelevant but I have one question: did Dean Martin really own a pet bear?
4 out of 5 stars just because some points get repetitive to the point of useless. That's about it!
