I loved Michael Jackson Treasures book. It has some rare pics I have never seen before. And reprinted items attached with the book - tickets, documents, adverts, booklets. I loved the book of the school Jackson 5 was attending. It has some pics I have never seen before like Michael sitting in the class together with his classmates. I also loved the Smooth Criminal lean patent. It has detailed drawings I haven't seen in the net before (in the net I've seen just few of them) and describing how does it work. I think they were the most interesting items to me.

I haven't read the text just few sentences but it seemed like they mostly describe Michael's career rather than his health or private business which I like.

I suggest for fans to get the book cause of those rare pics and items they have added in the book.

it's indeed a very nice book :)

I have it, and I've gone through the pics, but I've never read it :innocent

The photos and items in it are great, but I stopped reading it because the author puts his own personal ideas about Michael in there which seemed to come from nothing. He also hinted that Michael's English writing skills were poor because his education wasn't as regular as other children. He quoted someone as saying that and it doesn't make sense to me because some of the things Michael has written, whether it's his lyrics or something like the works in Dancing The Dream, are really good. To be honest I'd rather read DTD rather than a Stephen King book :read It might have been true when Michael was younger, but the idea that it was true all of his life wasn't right. I might finish reading it, I don't know.

what? what's a really stupid thing to say! :o And I agree, Dancing the Dream is very good book. He had good way of writing down in words what he was feeling. And I think he was more smarter that average ppl cause he used to read a lot of books.

I've got it from some time, but I remember I didn't like what the author has written... His personal interpretations I think are against MJ...
Ok, I write you some segments from the book (I've got it in Italian, so I translate in some way...):

Quote

"...by adult, Jackson has become a fix protagonist of the tabloids. A series of secret operations of aesthetic surgery and diseases undeclared (what?!? "Undeclared"?!?) transformed him little by little, arriving almost to make him lost his ethnic and sexual peculiarities. (!!!)

...

(Here he speak about the Era 2005-2009) Sales of his albums dropped, and from eight years he didn't introduce a new project. (and "What more can I give"? and the 2Seas Records??? Just for example)

...

(Here he speak about "This is it") But maybe he wasn't in physical conditions to affront those concerts. (MJ has been killed...)
It's taken from the prologue.

They are little allusions that shows a negative opinion of Jason King (the author) against MJ.
Some elements of the book are interesting, but I wouldn't support Jason King. >/
