'Michael's journey is mapped out respectfully by a writer with a clear appreciation of his subject's worth.' RECORD COLLECTOR

Product Description

George Michael is an enigma. While he is one of the most open and vocal pop superstars on the planet, he also fiercely protective of his privacy. From the formation of Wham! In 1981 he immediately found fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams. His music formed the soundtrack to the 1980s and he achieved all of this despite growing up in a dysfunctional family where his father openly proclaimed that George had no talent. Wham! Split in 1986 but Michael went on to greater things as a solo artist. Along the way he has been embroiled in several controversies, but in a refreshing change to other superstars, he has been happy to address his issues head-on in the media. A court case with Sony; an arrest in a Los Angeles public toilet; minor run-ins over class-C drugs; and traffic offences in London. Rob Jovanovic's new biography of George Michael tackles the issues that formed the superstar today and his place as a cultural icon. It also for the first time analyses Michael's musical output and groundbreaking videos, right up to his triumphant 2006 tour, the first in 15 years as Michael returned from the music wilderness.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Disappointing, 10 Feb 2008

By	Ms. A. K. Stephens "Alejandrita" (Spain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think George Michael is great and love his music. I'm not an obsessive fan though, certainly not enough to read everything there is to read about him and swot up on little details of his life - even so there was precious little written in this book which I didn't already know.

I'm not sure if this is because there isn't really that much to write about him, or because he likes to lead such a private life, or because the book was poorly researched. There seemed to have been little or no actual contact with George Michael in order to write the book. It was as if it had been compiled exclusively by reading back issues of music magazines/press and watching videos.

Whatever the reason, I think it was poorly written, jumping around chronol ogically for no apparant reason, and padded out with far too many detailed descriptions of video clips, exactly how many weeks each single was in the UK and US charts...

A biography should present the reader with something other than this. The reader expects to learn something about the person, taking a glimpse behind the scenes.

Don't bother buying this book, it's a complete waste of money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nearly The full story, 23 Jul 2009

By	J. Linehan (Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: George Michael: The Biography (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping to learn something new about this amazing Performer and did remember most of what happened in his career but was left feeling a little disappointed by the fact that I could not help but wonder if we were not told the full story of the events of the last 2 - 3 years which was a little rushed I felt.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Gotta Have Faith, 8 April 2008

By	Mr Presley "Elvis London" (England) - See all my reviews

From the ashes of Wham came the superstar George Michael.
This book is a fantastic tribute to the best white soul singer in the world.
A star who has never forgotten his roots and says "I owe it all to Frankie Flame"
Francis Marshall ( Frankie Flame ) is the piano legend who insired Sir Elton John and George to work together and praised the former Wham star in his classic
