Publisher Description
The only book Michael Jackson ever wrote about his life
It chronicles his humble beginnings in the Midwest, his early days with the Jackson 5, and his unprecedented solo success. Giving unrivalled insight into the King of Pop's life, it details his songwriting process for hits like Beat It, Rock With You, Billie Jean, and We Are the World; describes how he developed his signature dance style, including the Moon Walk; and opens the door to his very private personal relationships with his family, including sister Janet, and stars like Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, Marlon Brando, Quincy Jones, Paul McCartney, and Brooke Shields.
At the time of its original publication in 1988, MOONWALK broke the fiercely guarded barrier of silence that surrounded Michael Jackson. Candidly and courageously, Jackson talks openly about his wholly exceptional career and the crushing isolation of his fame.
MOONWALK is illustrated with rare photographs from Jackson family albums and Michael's personal photographic archives, as well as a drawing done by Michael exclusively for the book. It reveals and celebrates, as no other book can, the life of this exceptional and beloved musician.
Customer Reviews
Sugary sweet.
Moonwalk is a book that all Michael Jackson fans should read as it will give them an insight into how Michael saw his world and the world at large.
Keep in mind the book was originally written and released way before any of the scandals that rocked Michael's world in the 90s and don't expect any earth shattering revelations. This is a time before Neverland, Michael's marriages or his children.
It is very simply written and very easy to read. When originally released it served its purpose which was to satisfy the public's interest in a man who refused to be interviewed. It instantly became a number one best seller worldwide before vanishing from book stores. It probably would remain hidden if it wasn't for Michael's death in 2009.
This reissue contains additional foreword by Berry Gordy as well as a small chapter at the end added by the ghost writer, Shaye Areheart. Other than that it appears to be identical to the original release.
