Book Reviews of Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case
Book Review: Better than I expected
Summary: 4 Stars
Having followed the Jackson trial and reading the transcripts, I really expected this book to be a biased rehash of the Jackson trial. Insted I discovered it had a great narrative and less bias than I expected.
The story of the first Michael Jackson case (1993) took almost half the book, which is why I graded Be Careful Who You Love a 4. One of her primary sources was Ray Chandler, and I had already read his book. These chapters seemed like an abreviated version of All That Glitters, which I also have on my bookshelf. However, if you have not read this book, you will be glad she included the detail in these chapters.
When she discussed the witnesses on both sides during the recent trial, she gives them all a fair shake. She will admit when prosecution witnesses fell short, including the alleged victim's mother.
Of all books on this trial, I would recommend this one above all the others I have read.
Book Review: If I could only give it -4 million stars...
Summary: 1 Stars
I cry for the poor trees whose wood was used to print copies of this lowly piece of trash. I refer you to Mr. Larry Landers' review of this book. For all those reasons, Diane Diamond is not a reliable source of information on this subject. An individual who, under the guise of journalism, makes one false and ludicrous claim after the other and reports them as facts from "credible sources" without repentance should not be looked upon as a source for anything except as a good example of the depths of shamelessness people will go to in order to line their own pockets. Diamond in my opinion is the true epitome of a parasite. If there was no Michael Jackson trial either in 1993 or 2003, then no one would give Diamond a second glance after she served them their Bavarian Creme at Dunkin' Donuts. Regardless about how one may feel about Michael Jackson, a journalist's job is to impartially report the unbiased facts. Yellow journalism is not journalism despite it's very unfortunate name.
She was on Hard Copy. Need anyone say more?
Book Review: Diane Dimond is really on the money
Summary: 4 Stars
Diane Dimond is really on the money with her new book, "Be Careful Who You Love: Inside The Michael Jackson Case." I have read many books about Michael Jackson and this one of the best, if not the very best book. Because the information that Diane Dimond provides is accurate, detailed, interesting, and informative.
Dimond also does not make outrageous claims without backing up what she says with facts. For example, Diane Dimond was the FIRST journalist to report on the 1993 allegations (is that why Jackson fans hate her so much?), but she did not report the story until after she reviewed documents from her source that had inside information.
This book describes both of Jackson's 1993 and 2003 child-sex abuse scandals in specificality. Diane Dimond's portrayal of Jackson is not flattering. But she does not personally attack him or belittle him (like much of the press does). Instead, she simply states the facts and then lets the reader form their own opinion.
Perhaps the facts about Jackson are even more unflattering than the lies and mean-spirited innuendo that is usually written about him? For example Diane Dimond writes that Jackson slept with one of his "special little friends" for more than one-hundred nights in a row.
I have never been a Michael Jackson fan. I think he is a sad excuse of a man. Not because of the way he looks or the way he speaks. But, for all of the reasons described in this book!
Book Review: Love Hurts
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives a whole different view of the Jackson case...the people, circumstances, and even the legal teams. Anyone who has followed the case will see things they've not heard of yet. I highly recommend this book--and I'm a big Michael Jackson fan!!Book Review: dirty diana strikes again!!
