Moonwalk: Autobiography, Memoir.

Author: Michael Jackson (1988)

This is a walk down memory lane with the undisputed king of pop, the greatest entertainer who ever lived, Michael Jackson. It is a breathtakingly beautiful journey with the legend in 238 pages where you learn, laugh, sing and cry with him as he opens up his very private life to you, his struggles, his failures, and his victories.

This gem was first published in 1988 and like old wine that is refined over time, it is a piece that you will read and re-read if you get your hand on it.

I will confidently tell you that this is a short sweet snack of life lessons beautifully packaged and practically shared through the pen of a legend. Even the dark chapters you walk with Michael Jackson on these hallowed pages that breathe pain, anguish, heartache, and disappointment have a light side as you journey along.

This is one honest memoir and autobiography by a famous person. It allows you to get behind the curtains to the dark backstage where the spotlight never shines and interact with Michael Jackson-the man and not the stage god. You have the rare opportunity to be intimate with the very best of an era of music geniuses that the universe blessed the modern world with.
