Book Reviews of Michael Jackson Conspiracy
Book Review: "...Ms. Jones meticulously dissects the Michael Jackson trial penning a novel that is destined to mesmerize readers..."
Summary: 5 Stars
"In the pursuit of justice Aphrodite Jones courageously presents the facts on the trial of the century in the eye opening read the Michael Jackson Conspiracy."
"Leaving sensationalism, rumors and innuendo behind, the author documents in black and white the details everyone wanted to know about this trial...the truth and nothing but the truth. Did this case have merit, was justice being sought, or was a vendetta in full effect? These questions will haunt readers as this case unwinds."
"During the course of the trial accusations seem to change depending on the day it was told or in which direction the wind blew. Uncooperative witnesses chose not to answer questions and evaded them like they were avoiding the plague. Yet, they had no problem seeking council and telling their stories when a payday was seen on the horizon."
"Could it be that an innocent man was being accused of a crime or was the crime a case built on shady witnesses, shady evidence and a shady prosecution team? Perhaps it was too much to expect an accurate account from media outlets. It should force us to ponder exactly what can be trusted from the media. In the end it appears the media couldn't handle the truth and took it upon themselves to spoon-feed the world their truth."
"In essence, Ms. Jones meticulously dissects the Michael Jackson trial penning a novel that is destined to mesmerize readers as she dares to expose the travesty of the century, which was ultimately the attempt to destroy Michael Jackson the man, the entertainer, the icon."
Book Review: a Vendetta to take down a Powerful Black Man
Summary: 5 Stars
this Book is the truth and long overdue. Michael Jackson was being frammed and this was a rail-roaded case to try to take him down at alll costs. the family that pressed those trumped up charges against MJ were shady and up to no good from the word jump. the DA Sneddon wanted MJ at all costs and it wasn't about Justice but about Just icing Michael Jackson at any costs. Aphrodite Jones deserves Props for telling the truth since the Mass Media hasn't done what it is suppose to do. the truth came out and Michael Jackson never hide or ran from nothing despite all the daily hate and the fact that the Media was calling him out of his name,etc... they Owe the Brother a Big Apology and this Book sets the record straight. it's long overdue that Michael Jackson got some fiar balance. very detailed book. Props to Mezz for doing his job as a Lawyer in the case. Book Review: FINALLY unbiased reporting!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who is anyone should read this book! It clearly describes all the details that were left out of the popular news media during the trial of Michael Jackson. It also shows how people conspire together for their own profit, even if it means destroying someone else. So many people stood to make so much money if this man had been convicted, so they convicted him in the court of public oopinion. As a nation, we have become obsessed with celebrity gossip and propaganda, and more and more that is what is being reported, NOT THE FACTS! What happened to true journalism, showing all the necessary information so that we could decide for ourselves? I for one find it offensive, it is as if they are saying that the general public are not intelligent enough to decide for themselves, and that we are dumb enough to believe whatever they tell us! Also, with this trial the media is publicly implying that they feel our justice system FAILED! If you believe that, why wouldnt you fight to do something about it? If I truly believed that a jury was wrong, or paid off, or had some benefit in making a certian decision, I would call it a mistrial! Aphrodite, who was once reporting negative news during the trial, has seen the error of her ways. She reviewed all the court transcripts and documents and realized she was wrong. In this book she gives all the facts you never heard anywhere else. No one even wanted to publish it because they said people would only read smut, not something like this that was to the point and fair. Which, led her to publish it all on her own. She felt it was important that people hear all the facts, not only the smut that they have heard a million times. She took the high road and didnt even mention the many things such as race that others had previously mentioned. I think if you are interested in facts and true journalism, this book is for you. And if not, I think you should read it to prepare and protect yourself from the world we really live in where greed, money and lies are often in control! If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone!Book Review: Brave book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fascinating read, not just because of its subject matter but because the author herself was, like most other members of the media, predisposed to think that Jackson was guilty of at least some of the charges brought against him. She admits to being prejudiced and reveals just how she came to realise that this time the media got it very wrong indeed.
Ms Jones has thoroughly researched the book examining witnesses' testimonies, court transcripts, etc, and she reveals how the jury, onlookers and Jackson himself reacted throughout. Yes, you do feel that you are in the courtroom.
The disparity between what actually went on in there and what the media reported is astonishing. And there's some interesting information about British journalist/interviewer Martin Bashir too.
The background information about Neverland itself was all new to me. For example, it is only through reading this book that I realised that Michael Jackson's bedroom was not at all like the type of bedroom most of us have, i.e, just one room. Jackson's was a huge two storey, mezzanine construction - more like a flat than a room. I'm not saying Jackson was wise to have boys staying in his room (nor in his bed) but once you realise just how big this space was it kind puts a different perspective on these sleepovers.
Aphrodite Jones also reveals that Jackson himself was not at Neverland for much of the time; it was his home but it was more a social experiment, an escape for children who were sick or poor. It's such a shame it didn't work out. If he had lived elsewhere but just run the place as a separate entity/charity things might have turned out differently. Or if only he'd only have stuck to surrounding himself with animals rather than other peoples' children he'd be viewed by the majority as eccentric rather than potentially dangerous or evil.
I found the photographs of Neverland are startling. Everywhere is so cluttered - like a teenage boy's room. In fact, Jackson comes across as naive, vulnerable, lonely, somewhat deluded and while extraordianrily generous, lacking in emotional intelligence and 'street' savvy when it came to handling people who had their own agendas.
My only criticisms of the book are that Ms Jones' text concentrates on peoples' appearances a little too much; I felt she almost implied that when it xcame to witnesses beauty equals truth. I'd have welcomed more indepth analysis by Aphrodite Jones on the whole affair and its aftermath.
But a brave book. Buy it!
