Story
Un ragazzino cicciottello e un po' tarchiato, un adolescente problematico con gli occhiali spessi, un adulto inquieto che paga a caro prezzo il successo, la fama, il denaro, ma soprattutto un grande autore con una voce stupenda. Questo e molto altro è stato George Michael, un artista spesso incompreso e altrettanto frequentemente inserito a forza in categorie che gli stavano strette come un laccio al collo.

Amazing Life, Awesome Book!
I have always loved George Michael and so I knew I would enjoy this after I saw it. This biography did not disappoint! I learned so much more about this legend, his success, but also his struggles. Even as a super fan there was a lot I did not know, highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan.

Boring .....
George michael was a great man with a fantastic musical gift. This is a boring story that reads through bland facts in a bland way by a bland story teller. Not recommended .

I should have paid attention...
This "book" is half an hour long!! I blame myself for not paying attention and seeing this ahead of time... I absolutely adore George Michael and was so disappointed that this Biography was nothing more than a list of facts that anyone could learn from a quick look on Wikipedia...
