A Gift from One of the Greatest Icons of All Time

I love Dancing The Dream! This book combines two of my favorite things: great photography and poetry. Michael Jackson is one of my favorite icons of all time . This book is a wonderful addition to your collection. Micheal shows off his earthy side in his poetry while sharing his love of fantasy and costumes in the photos. What a nice follow-up to Moonwalk!

Proof that Michael Jackson Is Very Intelligent & Loving

This was the most wonderful book I have ever read. As soon as I heard about it I had to have it because I have always been a huge Michael Jackson fan, and always will be. However, though I expected it to be good. I did not expect this. The poems and essays are so well thought out and beautifully written. The man has a true gift. Every single work is filled with the joy of life and is a true inspiration. It has even inspired me to start writing poetry, but I am not nearly as good as this. They made me smile, laugh, and cry. Whenever I have a bad day I read either "The Heart Said No" or "Grew Wings Without Me" or "Trust" and they truly lift my spirit. There are also great essays and poems about nature and animals like "When the Elephants March" and "Look Again, Baby Seal." Also, there are poems about the love of God. Furthermore you will discover how Michael really feels about children in poems like "Children of the World," "On Children," "When Babies Smile," and "Wise Little Girl." This man is the last person in the world that I would worry about being with children. After reading this, I trust him not to hurt children more than I do myself! And I adore children! This book is truly beautiful and will show the path of love and righteousness to anyone who reads it. I would recommend this to someone whether or not they have ever bought a Michael Jackson record. If you want to be inspired beyond belief, read this. If you want to know who the REAL Michael Jackson is, don't watch the news, read this.

Michael Jackson wrote a wonderful book. It's great for anyone who needs a shove in the right direction. It's full of inspirational poetry, stories, and reflections, and they all have an excellent lesson to be learned.It is full of photos, paintings, and drawings from Michael's personal collection. This book is a must- read for everyone, whether they are fans or not!

Highly Recomended!!!

I always thought about Michael Jackson as a great singer, song/writer and dancer. This book shows that he is a great poet too. It also shows how gentle he is. I love this book! If you think that Michael is just a spoiled, creazy pop star, then this book will change your mind. My favorite poems are "But The Heart Said No" and "Love"

It is a living proof that the man is not only the greatest pop star that ever lived, he's the greatest artist that ever lived.The book is printed 100% on glossy paper and has tons of pictures. It contains Jackson's observation on life, humanity, god, the world and children. It takes you places only Michael Jackson can.So, in a word? Breathtaking. Get it right now!!!
