Product Description
<>The explosive definitive account of the Michael Jackson saga, chronicling the King of Pop's battles against child molestation charges from 1993 to 2005, from award-winning journalistDiane Dimond, who broke the story first, over twelve years ago
Michael Jackson has long captured the world's attention, first as the dynamic lead singer of the Jackson Five, then during his highly successful breakout solo career. But somewhere along the line Jackson transformed himself into something hardly recognizable and was investigated -- not once, but twice -- for crimes we could hardly imagine.
Even now, after his unexpected acquittal on multiple charges of child molestation, there is a sense that the real truth behind the allegations is not known. The character of Michael Jackson -- from his humble beginnings to his rich career and the birth of Neverland Ranch -- is destined for great debate among fans, journalists, historians, and psychiatrists for years to come. In the meantime, there is Diane Dimond, the journalist of record on the Jackson case.
In November 2003, when the Santa Barbara county sheriff's department conducted another raid on Neverland Ranch, Diane Dimond and her camera crews were the only ones there to capture the moment and report the news to the world. Now, for the first time, Dimond recounts the multifaceted details of the Jackson case, utilizing her extensive notes and sources. What she tells us is a shocking story.
Be Careful Who You Love will take you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade, while giving readers a dramatic glimpse of one reporter's vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.

I had to make myself read this book, which I did not purchase (thank God),to the end. I borrowed it from the Library. It was so obviously biased against Micheal Jackson, and so pro-prosecution that it was disgusting. She started the book by relating what had to have been the most humiliating experience Micheal Jackson had ever had - the strip search. It was done with such glee on her part. She seemed really happy to talk about how angry, uncooperative (wouldn't you be?) and hostile he was. She spoke of it with relish that it really made me sick. I felt for him having strangers looking at and photographing his nude body and genitals. What happened to the objectivity that should have been displayed by this self proclaimed professional journalist?
Another issue I had was her ability to gain access to confidential documents through inappropriate means, such as the case record on Jordan Chandler, including the psychiatrists notes, which she quotes. What??? And nothing was ever done/said about that. That was not supposed to happen. The people involved in allowing her access should have lost their jobs, gone to jail and she should have too. What was done was against the law.
I think that she thought that her use of one of Micheal's own lyrics as the title of the book was clever. I thought it was sad just like everything else about this book.
She had direct contact with Sneddon and the DA's office. That was so inappropriate. Oh well, that was/is so Diane Dimond. What a waste of time.

This book is just awful. Full of bias and lies. Don't waste your money on it. Even .26 is too much to pay for something like this trash. But, perhaps could come in handy if you run out of t.p.

Firs off, for people who actually think that Dian Demon is a real journalist, Think again. She has been after Michael Jackson for about 16 years now. Even After his passing, She has no shame at all.
Second of all, All that is in this book is NOT the reality. She got most of her info. from a NON-credible source! One writes a book about another person, when YOU KNOW THE OTHER PERSON! But I guess Money is More important than Honesty in Demons case right? This Book the funniest and most ridiculous book i've ever seen. Even after Michael was acquitted, DEMON says he still is guilty! Well Demon, let me ask you this, Were you there when those alleged incidents happen? Wasnt she the one who conformed that Michael was FRAMED on a TV Show after 1993? I mean Damn, How much $$$ Does it take to destroy a Man's life? HE has done SO MUCH to help the world and its people (Literally) and what has DEMON done, Destroy people's lives! I dont know why she's soo jealous of Michael. Is it because he's black? I mean DANG woman, get a life!
And for y'all who gave this book 5*, You're more dense than i thought! Ofcourse you'd believe what DEMON has said cuz you dont want the reality! Y'all are one of the most racist ppl. i've ever come across. and MICHAEL WAS/IS LOVED in the Middle east, AFRICA, EUROPE, ASIA and here in the U.S./ Well some ppl. are ignorant enough not to admit it! He will live Forever unlike Diane DEMON! Nobody is gonna glace at her when she dies...and thats for sure. She is one of the contributors to Michael's Death. Thankyou Diane for showing your true self. It is very refreshing to see that. God help you in your life cuz really what goes around comes around! And you better believe that what you have done to Michael, is gonna come and bite you in the @$$!!!

Diane Dimond is a fired Inside Edition and Court TV reporter who desperately tried to do something to salvage her, ahem, career.
A two minute google of information on both the Jordie Chandler lawsuit and the Arvizo trial makes this book nothing more than mullet wrapper. The Michal Jackson employees; fired, disgruntled, given money the tabloids to weave a tale.
Every lie by this woman can be refuted by research. She needs to hang her head in shame.
The sad issue is that now that Michael has passed, the witch hunt has stopped. But, for the longest time, the media, the unsated, immoral, money at all cost frenzy tortured Jackson. To hell with his reputation.
Bashir, all the tabloids, Dimond, TV, and newsprint all had a hand in the worst lynching of a black man that I have seen.
All for the God forsaken dollar.

Man, after reading the book, i had a feeling that it was a novel/a fiction book. (for example, the author's description of the scene Dr Chandler walking through the lobby of his office building,... and so much more redundant details...)
This book contains so many imaginary stories, which are, of course, against Jackson ridiculously. If Dimond wants her book to be taken seriously, she shouldn't convert it into a novel. So, we just read it for fun, i think - no credibility.
