Review: FASCINATING - I was absolutely spellbound by Ms. Jefferson’s take on Michael’s life of pathos and injury, and her brilliant use of word and metaphor alike. As an amateur writer, I love her lyrical style of writing and it was a lesson for me. As a human being, I was hugely engaged, saddened and enlightened by her account of what was the oh-so-tormented genius of Michael Jackson. The book was so good, I was actually saddened when it ended, it was that good! Regina G DOWNING, author of “ Summer’s Rain,”(Margaret D Regan).
Review: A good read - I’m a terrible reviewer of books. I was interested in learning more about Michael Jackson after watching the documentary Leaving Neverland, and this is a very good place to start. It’s not a definitive book on the pop star, but it’s not meant to be, it’s more of an essay. It’s also not a puff piece, meant to sell records or tickets to shows. As it’s a short book, I will probably read it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They Only MJ book you should read
*by H***1 on April 28, 2013*

Ignore the one star reviews of this book! Margo Jefferson is on target when scrutinizing the inner workings of Michael's life and mind. "On Michael Jackson" is written through the perspective of academics and investigative journalists, or what I refer to as the "eyes in the sky". This book is not a tribute to an idol by a love sick fan! So if that's what you're looking for, be gone! This is adult reading for sentient minds and for some reason MJ's most ardent fans can't handle the truth. Mostly a thesis with biographical snippets sewn in, Jefferson's work discusses the controversial points of Michael's childhood, stardom, and sexual disorders. More importantly, it comments on America's obsession with the negative aspects of celebrity culture and the entertainment industry's exploitation of child stars. It's also telling of Jackson's paradoxical nature. I was shocked to learn that Jackson, a man who was constantly reaffirming his compassion for children and humanity, never cried once after seeing David Lynch's "The Elephant Man" over twenty times. While this little manuscript was written before his death, I believe the work is more about us than him. What kind of a society are we that we allow spectacles such as the disintegration of a troubled, aging star to feed our need for entertainment. In defense of Margo Jefferson, she must be one formidable writer if she has managed to set off so many people with only 150 pgs.
