5.0 out of 5 stars Not at all disappointed
On the contrary to not so popular but very exploited tabloid coverage of the whole "Michael Jackson Scandel", Lisa Campbell comes out with the facts of the case in and out of itself and things that people do need to realize about the whole situation as a whole.

2.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED!
Ms. Campbell wrote this book as if she has a personal axe to grind. Instead of stating the facts about this unfortunate
conspiracy to discredit the intrigity of Michael Jackson.
She came across as being unnessasarily defensive. Although I
can appreciate her desire to come to the defense of Mr. Jackson,

This review is from: Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour (Hardcover)
On the contrary to not so popular but very exploited tabloid coverage of the whole "Michael Jackson Scandel", Lisa Campbell comes out with the facts of the case in and out of itself and things that people do need to realize about the whole situation as a whole. Michael's intense love for the children of the world because of his own inner personality of being a child-at-heart became a fault to everyone else through this extortion attempt.

Ms. Campbell presented the facts between the TWO trails that were occuring at the time, not just one, and shows Michaels undeniable innocence all the way. Her unwaning support of Michael is echoed throughout the world with the minds and voices of the fans that really care about Michael.

The story was intriguing and very sad as well. It's appalling to think that such a kind and shy person as Michael Jackson could be subjected to such harmful persecuting, and I have to admit that the story was compelling enough to make one not only feel for Michael, to sympathize, but to also feel his own pain and just begin to imagine what agony he could have felt at the time, and even to this very moment. It made me choke up, and I could not put down this book.

This is a wonderful biography on Michael's "Scandelous" moments, and it totally proves Michael Jackson, again and again, that he has always maintained his innocence, and will always. Magnificant!

5.0 out of 5 stars i enjoyed this book, January 2, 2000
This review is from: Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour (Hardcover)
the media found michael jackson guilty and still carries that over his head.i'm glad mrs.campbell comes out and gives a fair side of the story.journalism has gone down the toilet for me.they will write and say anything to sell a paper.michael maintained his innocence and should be allowed to continue with his life.i hope she writes another book on mj.the next one back on music.

This review is from: Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour (Hardcover)
I've read most books about Michael Jackson. Like many people, he absolutely fascinates me. This book was one of the best I've read about him. The author seems to be pleading for sympathy about the allegations against him for being a child molestor. She has written two books about him and I think if she continues, her next book will be even better. I think we all want details about this mysterious icon. It was a very good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars great read, April 22, 2010
This review is from: Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour (Hardcover)
It is quite curious to me why after the passing of MJ none is interested to read this great book of Campbell. Though the book cannot be bought, it is available in the internet. Maybe some fans did read but they chose not to share or share somewhere other than Amazon.

Different from the many books I have read, this is the only book that saw the 1993 case from the angle of a supporter of MJ. The book is foreword by Bob Jones, MJ's PR at that time. Campbell is, however, not totally biased towards her idol. She did point out some rumours in the book, like, Brook Shield was given $10000 each time accompanying MJ to shows, and MJ's grandfather received Public Assistance.

It is interesting to note that throughout the book the writer kept spelling out those names who supported MJ through the first trial. And it mentioned more than one time Diana Ross was very silent on the trial.

I tend to love very much those thing that is rare and scarce, just like this book. Fans should not miss this book.

This review is from: Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour (Hardcover)
Ms. Campbell wrote this book as if she has a personal axe to grind. Instead of stating the facts about this unfortunate
conspiracy to discredit the intrigity of Michael Jackson.
She came across as being unnessasarily defensive. Although I
can appreciate her desire to come to the defense of Mr. Jackson,
She wrote this book out of emotion instead of taking a more
professional approach to make her point. If you desire to know
Michael Jackson better I highly recommend J. Randy Taraborelli's

Michael Jackson-The Magic and the Madness. It's a great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Biased P.O.V, October 14, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour (Hardcover)
i totally agree with kimberly meredith! This book was clearly written from a one-sided p.o.v, with ms campbell portraying a one-sided argument, defending mj.

J Randy Taraborelli's book is much better, giving readers a more 3-D insight into the life of mj.
