OF COURSE Amazon would rank it as a best seller ... it's about MICHAEL JACKSON. That is the ONLY reason it would get such a rating, because, if you look at the bibliography, you will see that almost all the entries are TABLOID-derived sources. Sadly, most people don't know who the people Sullivan spoke to are... If they did, they'd know that most were disgruntled former employees, ex-friends, people who were sued or countersued by Michael, people who were proven liars in a court of Law, people on the fringe of ever having really known MJ at all, etc.
Sullivan writes like a fiction writer... Fictional books are often books of the year... Not much thinking involved.
Just because Sullivan thinks MJ wasn't a child molester in 2005 doesn't make him sympathetic. The REASON he says MJ wasn't a molester is that he believes MJ was asexual... actually, his words were "pre-sexual"! He stated that he believed MJ died a VIRGIN!! I'm sure Lisa Marie Presley would beg to differ!! In an internet interview today with Marc Lamont Hill on HuffPostLIVE, Sullivan showed his true colors by saying that he believed Jordie Chandler may have been MJ's lover! Well, Sullivan, which is it? Did MJ have sex with a child or was he a virgin? You can't have it both ways!!
I am so sick of all these opportunists, coming on like they actually KNEW Michael Jackson! Sullivan writes and talks like he was part of his inner circle, when in actuality, he never even MET the man, and admitted today on air, that after Thriller, he wasn't even interested in his music! He called him a freak and bizarre and called his fans a derogatory name, suggesting we're all a bit "wacko"!
Well, THIS fan will NOT spend a dime of this book. He will get no richer from me on lies about Michael! Bad enough that I read it for free online!
