Summary
""You were with him for a long time. You need to tell the story! You need to tell the real story about my son!" Inspired by these words from Michael Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, former manager, confidant, and personal friend Dieter Wiesner's book Michael Jackson: The Real Story does just that.
Influenced by a sense of obligation, Mr. Wiesner shares intimate information about Michael Jackson, the visionary business genius, the loving father, and family man. What sets this apart from the large amount of other Michael Jackson narratives available are the primary source documents, which include transcripts of over 15 voicemail messages that listeners will have access to for the first time.
The book's author Dieter Wiesner was inseparable from Michael during the 80-concert, five continent HIStory world tour. After the tour, Dieter lived with Michael and his children for several years at the legendary Neverland Ranch.
Listeners will get to know Michael Jackson the human being in a much deeper way - the Michael that few got to know and appreciate.

Good book with some MJ business insights
I enjoyed listening to the recordings of Michael. Whilst I know that he was very business minded I’m not sure the general public do. Hearing more about his plans to buy Marvel and buy out Disney is interesting, although I already knew somethings about. Hearing about how he helped with some of the landmarks in Las Vegas. My only critique would be that at one point when a recording is being played the narrator talks over it. Some records you cannot make out what he’s saying as it’s so crackly so it would be good to be told after what was said. Sometimes you can tell the narrator has had to go back later to re-record certain bits as they sound different. I would prefer more chronology as flitting between times was difficult to follow. But I would recommend this

Ok
The narrator was fine and I did find a few more dots to connect in the Enigma which is Michael! But I have an issue with Dieter Weisner in that he is a friend of Joseph Jackson; Michael's father and, bearing in mind, MJ's issues with Joseph, I don't know how little or much I can actually believe about this book!
