Members Reviews:

Boring and repetitive

I was expecting more about Sphenoid Curry early life instead the autor is very repetitive with numbers and and porcentajes.

Terrible - like reading his wiki

What disappointed you about Stephen Curry?

There was no real insight into who he was or how he got to where he is. It is a mind-numbing regurgitation of stats and game outcomes. Totally devoid of true storytelling.

What was most disappointing about Clayton Geoffreyss story?

The entire read. To be fair, I quit listening about 25% into it - I couldn't take it any longer.

Would you be willing to try another one of David L. Stanleys performances?

Nope.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Stephen Curry?

I would remove the narrator's reading of every statistic.

Phonebook is interesting reading compared to this.

What disappointed you about Stephen Curry?

Clayton Geoffreys should not write anything. It's numbing statistics only:

"...February 3rd 2007 he scored 29 points, including 7/13 behind the 3-point line to help them win their 20th game. Streak continues with Curry hitting 24 points, 7 out of 12 from the field and 6/6 from the foul line to help lead the Wildcats 87-57 win over Stanford on February 6th 2007. That was followed by another 22 points on 75-63 win out of Charleston on February 12th 2007..."

Only the exact minutes of everything is missing.

Has Stephen Curry put you off other books in this genre?

Yes, Roland Lazenby is almost as bad as this, and they all are really long books.

What didnt you like about David L. Stanleys performance?

It's like listening three hour news - or weather forecast.

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It was cheap, but not cheap enough.

Any additional comments?

I keep this as a reminder: "Do not buy anything without reading reviews first."

Title: Michael Jackson, Inc.

Subtitle: The Rise, Fall and Rebirth of a Billion-Dollar Empire

Author: Zack O'Malley Greenburg

Narrator: Kaleo Griffith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-23-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 29 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Celebrity Bios

Publisher's Summary:

The surprising rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story of how Michael Jackson grew a billion-dollar business.

Michael Jackson is known by many as the greatest entertainer of all time, but he was also a revolutionary when it came to business. In addition to famously buying the Beatles' publishing catalogue, Jackson was one of the first pop stars to launch his own clothing line, record label, sneakers, and video games - creating a fundamental shift in the monetization of fame and paving the way for entertainer-entrepreneurs like Jay Z and Diddy. All told, Jackson earned more than $1.1 billion in his solo career, and the assets he built in life have earned more than $700 million in the five years since his death - more than any other solo music act over that time.

Michael Jackson, Inc. reveals the incredible rise, fall, and rise again of Michael Jackson's fortune - driven by the unmatched perfectionism of the King of Pop. Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg uncovers never-before-told stories from interviews with more than 100 people, including music industry veterans Berry Gordy, John Branca, and Walter Yetnikoff; artists 50 Cent, Sheryl Crow, and Jon Bon Jovi; and members of the Jackson family. Other insights come from court documents and Jackson's private notes, some of them previously unpublished. Through Greenburg's novelistic telling, a clear picture emerges of Jackson's early years, his rise to international superstardom, his decline - fueled by demons internal and external, as well as the dissolution of the team that helped him execute his best business moves - and, finally, his financial life after death.

Underlying Jackson's unique history is the complex but universal tale of the effects of wealth and fame on the human psyche. A valuable case study for generations of entertainers to come and for anyone interested in show business, Michael Jackson, Inc. tells the story of a man whose financial feats, once obscured by his late-life travails, have become an enduring legacy.

The King Lives...Life,Legacy and Love

We true fans are so used to hearing the lies and filth written about MJ that somehow we forgot his was only human, with a vision of a better world for all mankind. This inside story of MJ's business Is fascinating. I've been a Michael Jackson Fan & Follower since 1972 and highly recommend this book to each and every person that wanted to know the making of the Worlds Best Entertainer and what a true treasure we lost.

Solid listen for MJ fans.

If you haven't read a proper autobiography of MJ, this does a good job of addressing most of his major milestones and adds insight on his perspectives about them. However, if you were reading this hoping for a detailed explanation of the business machinations that drove his financial empire, this book only does that about half of the time, and only to highlight the outcomes of his career choices.

was not very good

I kept reading this book thinking it would get better, but it did not.

It was rather booring

Very informative

Offers a great insight into the business mind of Michael Jackson and reaffirms his genius as an artist and entertainer.

Members Reviews:

Great Broadway book!

Would you listen to The Untold Stories of Broadway again? Why?

Listened to Untold Stories on my long flight to New York City. I landed feeling like I had a new appreciation for the great white way. If you are heading to New York or just a fan of Broadway this is the book for you.

Have you listened to any of John David Farrell and Rebecca Surmont s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I liked how there were two narrators. The book is a compilation of hundreds of interviews and two readers made it easy to keep track of who was telling the story.

Made My Trip to NYC More Fun!

I listened to this book on the drive to NYC and knowing about everything that had happened in these historic places gave me an even greater appreciation for them. While the rest of my family was focusing on the stores in Times Square, I just wanted to walk down the side streets!

The book was written based on a lot of interviews so it is very conversational. It's very accessible but I imagine that it could occasionally be easy to stumble over some of the more colloquial phrases while reading. I liked the audiobook because hearing the narrators (one male and one female) read those sections made it just sound natural.
