About this listen

More than seven years after his death, Michael Jackson continues to fascinate the world. Shana Mangatal was one of Jackson's only constant and true rocks of stability for nearly two decades. Their relationship was quiet and sweet and real - a closely guarded secret, known only to a few trusted employees and friends. Shana is now coming forward to tell their love story. Her story is rich with every little detail. She witnessed the scandals, lawsuits, the release of groundbreaking albums and subsequent world tours, big-budget short films, and addictions. Michael and Me entertains and inspires, but above all, Shana continues to treat Michael (and his legacy) with respect. This is not an exploitative tell-all, but rather a book that shows the side of Michael people never knew. In it, Shana paints a more intimate picture of this beloved, yet very misunderstood man.

I found this audio book very interesting. Not only for the Michael Jackson link, but also for the sneak peak into the music industry. I honestly think this even a non Michael Jackson fan would enjoy this book.
Some may doubt what Shana may claim. but I found her words quite factual and very informative. she describes in depth her relationship with Michael Jackson. it's not always great views on him. But always polite and respectful.

Hearing Shana read her own words does add alot to this book. She draws you in, her voice comes over strong, emotional yet quite calming.

As I said earlier the book though obviously about Michael Jackson. it is also an insight into show business. I liked how other famous people are woven in. Dolly Parton, Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Brad Pitt etc.

This book for me is a must read/listen . you get backstage stories, behind the scenes stories from Jackson's music videos, stories on his TV appearances and Michael Jackson in everyday life stories .

Some bits are dark and very sad . She covers the child abuse allegations, Michael's insecurities and his untimely passing.

overall Shana does come across as respectful, honest, caring, funny and at times strong and determined woman. plus obviously a very attractive woman I could see how most men would fall for her, so why not MJ?

At times she did lose her way, but did give herself a talking to and bucked herself out of those moment's.

I for one hope we get a follow up. A book about her time working in the showbiz industry around the 90s surely would be an interesting, honest, eye opening account.
