In the wrong category, Mar 8 2009

This review is from: Michael Jackson (Paperback)
This book is listed as a preschool book for ages 4 to 8. I was very excited to get an age-appropriate book to read to my preschool classroom for Black History Month. This book is actually for elementary school children. Perhaps they meant 4th grade to 8th grade? It's completely useless for my needs, and, in case you didn't notice, is from 1984. Darn thing is almost as old as I am. What a waste of money.

A Positive Read, Dec 2 2009

This review is from: Michael Jackson (Paperback)
When first released, this book was intended for the 80s youth of America. A time when pop culture was at the height of social decision-making. Yes, 80s had the BEST celebrities, TV Shows, & cultural phenomenons. And hey, I grew up mostly in 90s, & I know this. It's just a fact of life that CAN NOT be changed. Statistically & objectively speaking - 80s were the greatest decade in entertainment!In fact, almost EVERY successful movie franchise in the last couple of years, is a rehash of 80s tv or cinema. For example- Transformers, Indiana Jones, E.T., Friday the 13th, Nightmare On Elm St., etc;
Ok, sorry for the rant on how great the 80s were... but you have to know how the times were to understand how a book like this would effect millions of children. Kids that saw Michael EVERYWHERE on tv, in magazines. Kids whose siblings were always talking about the King of Pop. Reading a simple book like this is probably what spawned those millions of kids to become fans & get a deeper knowledge of MJ the person.
The book is what it is, but it was about the right person at the right time!

No grammy photos!, Sep 18 2009
By ALAL - Published on Amazon.com
I borrowed this book from library. The book is thin, but did have some simplfied details of MJ and his brothers in early eighties, that you cannot find in MJ's books published later on. But the book was written for youth. If you are grown up you will find this book a bit boring.The biggest problem is I cannot find any ' 8 pages of 1984 Grammy Award Photographs'inside!
Listmania!
