My Family, the Jacksons

I enjoyed this book alot i read it to myself and my mon, it's excellent. Katherine tells an honest heartwrenching story about her family, this comes from the person who knows them the best.She really let's you know that her family is just as much as normal human beings as everyone else.She breaks down the families personalities in the books so you will understand them better, why Michael is so sensitive and talented, to Randy's being independent. This is a really great book.

I found it so refreshing to read a book about the first family of Pop Music without all the tabloid garbage. Katherine tells the story from her POV which is the truth. After all she experienced everything first hand as the Matriarch of the Jacksons. She starts off with her own childhood to the infamous to do with Latoya in 1989 struggling all the while to keep the family together. It is a heartwarming and straight forward story that only a mother can tell and Katherine does an excellent job on it. My wish is that she would write a sequel so that she can up to date us all on what the family is up to now and share with us her thoughts on two of her newest and most famous grandbabies of them all, namely Prince Michael(PJ) Jackson and Paris Katherine Michael,. A very good book which I highly urge everyone to read.

Katherine Jackson does a thorough job telling the story of the Jackson family through the years. Beginning in Gary, Indiana, with family singalongs, to school talent shows, to local clubs, to Motown and beyond, she saw it all. The book ends in 1989, with the "LaToya troubles", but gives ample coverage to all of the children individually and together, personally and professionally. All the children (except LaToya) cooperated, and most add their own recollections along the way.
