Dancing The Dream: The most personal thoughts of the world’s greatest entertainer

''I wrote a book called 'Dancing the Dream'. It was more autobiographical than 'Moonwalk', which I did with Mrs. Onassis. It wasn't full of gossip and scandal and all that trash that people write, so I don't think people paid much attention to it, but it came from my heart. It was esseys, thoughts and things that I've thought about while on tour'' (1992) Michael Jackson I don't feel I need to add anything else. Beautiful book, beautiful Michael and his spirit.

i like this book its made by the singen him self

Michael Jackson's prose and poetry offer life lessons in making change for the world's healing. Michael spent his entire life in humanitarian efforts, in speaking out for social justice and change. HIs ability to bring people together and inspire them to work toward a better world is captured in the stories and poems in this book. I have quoted passages often. You do not have to be a Michael Jackson fan to understand the truths offered here. Without exception, I will tell you this is the most important book I have ever read. It has changed my life and the lives of many. I encourage everyone to have this book in their collection, and, I also believe it should be in libraries and schools worldwide.

I've been a fan of MJ since i was little and this book is a real treat for the hardcore MJ fans who cared about him as a person rather than a celebrity, he writes from the soul and you get to see something really special in this book as he shares heartfelt words and works of art in the forms of stories and poems. A true creative genius, we have lost a real special man, there will never be another Michael Jackson.

What a beautiful book!! If you, like me, are a fan of Michael Jackson for his music, but also for his concern about the welfare of the earth and humankind, you need to get this book. It's a wonderful insight into his mind, ideas and thoughts, which I appreciate so much more after reading through Michael's poems and stories. It has large full colour photos, some of which are rare. You won't be disappointed if you're an MJ fan!!! It's a must!!

Great book but a little pricey.

You can't fail to be touched by this insight into the REAL Michael Jackson - not the media portrayal or should I say betrayal! Very deep,pure,sensitive,spiritual poetry and writings, written from the heart. Highlights for me include a poem dedicated to his beloved mother, also one that seems very autobiographical entitled Magical Child, both of which are so beautifully written you will have a tear in your eye! There seems to be a tinge of sadness coming through in this book which makes it all the more poignant now he is no longer with us. If you interested in this then you MUST also read Conspiracy by Aphrodite Jones, can't rate it highly enough.

After buying this book for my neice who is mad on Michael Jackson, i couldnt help but take a peep inside. As i am an avid fan too i was hooked, such beautiful touching poems and pictures. I felt that you got to know who Michael Jackson was and how he felt about life. So Moving! Its the sort of book that no matter how many times you read it, it touches your heart and soul and really makes you think about our world we live in. A must have book for any avid Michael Jackson fan. Luckily my family got the hint and i also got the book for christmas.

Michael Jackson was a genius, an incredible man of many talents, from artist, dancer, choreographer, composer, singer, writer, and poet, as he shows so commandingly in this beautiful hardback book. I have bought it (and read it several times) to donate it to libraries, schools and hospitals to spread the knowledge about this amazing man, who was also Dr.Jackson with an IQ of 160, apparently to rival that of Albert Einstein! He was awarded an honorary degree for his humanitarian efforts in 1988 from the Fisk University in New York. Not only was he good to look at, so were his mind's creations to read. This becomes instantly obvious from his deep spiritual philosophies in his forty-six essays and stories interspersed with over ninety such attractive photographs of him in action, and drawings. Many cleverly constructed phrases included are well known now which come from some of his song lyrics and poetry, like 'Heal the World', 'Planet Earth' and 'Will You Be There?' He wrote this in 1992 when he was only 34, yet bravely explored concepts like Trust, Innocence, Courage, Love and God. I particularly loved 'When Babies Smile', 'Ecstasy' and 'Quantum Leap' with his brilliant use of language and rhyme; also 'Magical Child', 'Once We Were There;, and 'Are You Listening?' which lift me up and take me to another place. One person who had a very high regard for him was the late famous Elizabeth Taylor who called him The King of Pop, Rock and Soul' in the Introduction.. The only criticisms I have are in the Introduction where a sentence is printed wrongly, split onto two lines, and a misprint in ''Magical Child' Part 2' where a line ends in the word 'play' when I think it should be 'ploy' to rhyme with 'destroy'. Otherwise the work is breathtakingly inspirational, a perfect possession for anyone, fan or not.

It's a poetry book, Michael Jackson said it was more revealing than his autobiography moonwalk. I think the estate needs to reprint/reissure it so it's accessible again to everybody. I was lucky to get a copy of this for $17 4 years ago and now it's in the hundreds thousands or completely unavailable

Cosa posso dire? Da fan di Michael posso solo dire che non so come non facevo ancora a non averlo. Il pacco è arrivato nei termini stabiliti ed è arrivato integro senza nessuna usura, anche perché il libro di suo è spesso e in un formato maggiore rispetto ai normali libri. Il libro in questione raccoglie pensieri e poesie di Michael ed è tutto in inglese. Un oggetto che non può assolutamente mancare ai fan del Re del Pop!

Magnifique livre, écrit par Michael lui-même. Des photos magnifiques, ses réflexions sur la vie et le monde, ses poésies, dessins, etc. Si vous ne devez acheter qu'un ouvrage sur Michael, sans aucune hésitation, choisissez celui là! Un must have pour les vrais fans et pour tous ceux qui veulent vraiment découvrir qui était Michael Jackson en prenant les infos à la source! Un artiste phénoménal, flamboyant, plein de paradoxes. Un être humain exceptionnel, de détermination, de travail, de gentillesse, générosité, soucis de l'autre, humilité malgré une ascension fulgurante et une renommée planétaire. Une perte immense et un héritage artistique qui a tout révolutionné. Une étoile qui a illuminé nos vies, un ange qui est parti. RIP MJ.
