This book was so poorly written I actually felt embarrassed for the author while I was reading it. As another reviewer pointed out, the idea of a conspiracy that Sony "fixed" things to bring down MJ is poorly thought out, illogical, and crackpot (his constant attacks on the Japanese are borderline racist as well). I suppose he'll be doing a sequel now saying Sony arranged to have MJ murdered. He was not persuasive at all re MJ's "innocence." At least I got this from the library and didn't waste my money.

The theory of the Sony Corporation trying to destroy Michael Jackson's carrier in order to buy him out of the ATV catalogue seems far fetched and exagerated. This book is more about Sony than the Pop star so if you want to have a more accurate version of the story, read J. R. Taraborrelli's book.

Incredible. That's the only word I can use to describe this book. I spoke with Thomas Mesereau (Michael Jackson's lead defense attorney for his trial) and he had recommended I get this book. I'm so glad I did. If you want to know why it's wonderful, BUY IT!!! It's definitely worth the money!!
And one last thing... MICHAEL JACKSON IS 100% INNOCENT!
By J. Coyle (Lancaster, UK)
Read this book in one go and currently re-reading it to really take in all the facts. This is a thorough, well-researched book written by a man with respectable journalistic credentials.
There are long asides and explanations to work through before you get to much information about Michael Jackson himself. However, this approach is better than wild conjecture. Guest maintains a cool head when talking about Jackson. He is certainly no fawning lap dog, mentioning several times that during the 1990s the star was overtaken by his own ego, yet he conveys sympathy for Jackson's plight.
Guest's analysis of the main players in the case is interesting. He makes some pertinent points about the (in my opinion)dastardly Martin Bashir and his role in 'cornering' Michael Jackson - and the fact that Bashir has never really been been taken to task over this. The details he provides about Sony, and the entertainment business in general, certainly hammer home the fact that showbusiness, pop, rock, whatever you want to call it, is no bubblegum business. Perhaps not a book for the fervent fan as Michael Jackson is not at the centre of it - Sony is - but a good read for anyone who wants to know about the machinations of the music industry.

At long last, to all the naysayers and michael-bashers that would not believe the innocence of this highly gifted icon. Lynton Guest, the inside man of the evil corporation of Phony... I mean Sony, lays out the evidence that Michael and his fans have long proclaimed. Here, in solid print, is the burden of proof of how highly vulnerable a mega-star like Mike can become. The conspiracy, behind the trail, that no one saw and how calculated the media hunted for negative headlines to destroy not only a man but honest journalism as a whole. If only this book can be submitted as evidence to wipe out the label of guilt, given by public opinion, from a truly innocent man and superstar. Here is your burden of proof!
