I wouldn't mind people like this being interviewed by someone like a Joe Vogel for an in depth biography of Michael. Someone with intelligence that can separate the fact from the fiction. I'd love for someone to do for Michael like Peter Guralnick did for Elvis with his books and basically go back and interview everyone in his life from the beginning and piece together an honest telling of his life story. I'm sure there are some people with great stories to tell about Michael from every chapter in his life. A truly well done biography need not be exploitive and full of scandal to sell books. I'd love something to show the world who Michael truly was instead of the caricature that most see him as. Something that leaves no stone unturned. It's an important story to tell. I don't know who the correct person is for the job, but hopefully someone will emerge. Book wise, there is nothing much out there about Michael that is worthwhile at the moment unfortunately.
Something like this book though is obviously tacky and amateur. This guy may have some stories and information of value but who knows what kind of rubbish you'd have to read through to get to it. The addiction part for example. Obviously it will be something like candy or something else mundane and innocent, but the way it's brought up is just unnecassary and tacky. That's why I'd rather people like this be interviewed for a book rather than trying to fill out a book of their own with whatever memories they have.
Now you are talking about Michael being addicted to pills as a 5 year old, when the author did not say that. He just said "addiction" and I'm sure he meant to hype up some silly and banal thing like "addiction to candy" or "addiction to KFC" - just trying to get attention by using the word addiction. But this is exactly what using certain words will do to people's minds. When you use the word "addiction" people will automatically think of pill or drug addiction.
