review 1: In his book 'The Magic, The Madness, The whole story'' by Randy Taraborrelli about Michael Jackson, there is a part of the book where he talks about the first time Michael Jackson met Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears at a hotel. In his book he mentioned another man in the room but not his name. I'm reading a different book right now called 'The Michael Jackson Tapes'. It's not a biography but transcripts of conversations Michael had with Rabbi Smuley Boteach about life, god, and how being a star had affected him. I've reached a part of the book where The Rabbi made an annotation about how he had just met N'sync and Britney with Michael at the time of one of the conversations. And I just found that kinda funny both books sort of meet into each other with that part. I'... morem gonna make an educated guess and say it was Rabbi Shumley Boteach as the unnamed guy in the room. Those kinds of 'aha' moments are fun to me. If you overlook the commentary annotations by the author, this book is really good. I learned a few new things about Michael that were never mentioned in other books. Like he didn't believe in Karma and he had a crush on Katie Couric. And other interesting bits. Its definitely worth a read if you are interested in Michael Jackson. I really want to reread this book to see if I missed anything. 5 stars.
review 2: I read this book as a library loan. I refused to put money into the hands of Shmuley, who clearly sold out his friend. After skimming the Rabbi's initial purports, I entirely skipped all further commentary from Shmuley, and read only MJ's words.When I thought it was impossible to love Michael more, I discovered yet more love and admiration for the man. There is a wealth of spiritual revelation in the book. The reader is allowed into Michael's theology. MJ is ever the gentle spirit, exploring love and connectivity, questioning dogma, honoring traditions. What a gift he gave in revealing this corner of his inner world to the ungrateful and judgemental Shmuley. Shame on the Rabbi for all his ugly words.In a sense, the book stands as an example to us all. Unintentionally, Shmuley sets himself up as the shallow soul, a shining example of what to avoid in how we ourselves behave. Michael, as always, provides a loving and reflective contrast to the evils of the world. less
