An interesting and different look at MJ.He was quite savvy when it came to the business side of music and understood early on where its true value existed.
I thought it might be a dry, business-y read,but it wasn't. And it was nice for a change to read about Michael Jackson as a real person and not an eccentric oddity.
Because he's from Gary,Indiana,and that's where the book starts and ends it works for #Indiana #BooksByState2023 8/50 @AsYouWish

Well the story didn't even come close to living up to such a great title. The story was actually all over the damn place; like a rough draft that's just fleshing out ideas. And yet I didn't bail, go figure 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't hate it. I might even have liked it enough to be interested in the sequel...maybe.

Loved it just as much as I did (cough,cough,choke) 40+ years ago!

All the memories of my BFF and her horse, and the pony she said was mine☺️☺️ Riding every day in the fields behind her house @TheBookHippie we were on own deserted island.

Thank you @TheBookHippie for making this the March book #ChildrensClassicRead2023

Also, 5th state for #BooksByState2023 #NewYork @AsYouWish

I'm not a fan of military/war strategy history books, but I'm huge fan of Malcolm Gladwell's writing and genius of showing the relationship between seemingly unrelated things. And this was a most fascinating read.

Even though the book doesn't take place in Alabama, the Bomber Mafia was based at Maxwell Field in Montgomery, so, yay #Alabama for #BooksByState2023 😁

Not a bad story except that it was trying to do too much, but the characters were fun. And for some reason the antique picking really caught my attention 🤷🏻‍♀️
