I think Moonwalker was a pretty bland, non-fulfilling autobiography. I bet you my bottom dollar most of it wasn't written by Michael. I did read the book some years ago, but I remember more from the Smallcombe biography Making Michael than from Moonwalk.

I agree. It also doesn't make sense for him to have written it (in entirety) since he was wrapping up the Bad Tour and was probably really tired.

Jackson was a consummate musician and entertainer: of that there is no doubt. He created some of the finest pop music of the late twentieth century. However, his skill lay in music; he was not a writer, and it really shows here. Despite the fact that the original material was worked on by a professional writer and two editors (one of whom was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, no less!), it really disappoints. The language is overly simplistic, as if it were the musings of a twelve-year-old boy, not the life of a thirty-year-old adult man (his age when it was completed).
