Be Careful Who You Love

Inside the Michael Jackson Case

By: Diane Dimond

Narrated by: Diane Dimond

The explosive, definitive account of Michael Jackson’s fall from grace has now been updated with four new fascinating chapters. Award-winning journalist Diane Dimond, who first broke the story of the King of Pop’s battles against child molestation charges from 1993 to 2005, takes you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade. This audio version gives listeners a dramatic glimpse of one reporter’s vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.

Michael Jackson has long captured the world’s attention, first as the dynamic lead singer of the Jackson Five, then during his highly successful breakout solo career. But somewhere along the line, Jackson transformed himself into something hardly recognizable and was investigated - not once, but twice - for crimes we could hardly imagine. Even now, after his unexpected acquittal on multiple charges of child molestation, there is a sense that the real truth behind the allegations is not known.

The character of Michael Jackson - from his humble beginnings to his rich career and the birth of Neverland Ranch - is destined for great debate among fans, journalists, historians, and psychiatrists for years to come. In the meantime, there is Diane Dimond, the journalist of record on the Jackson case. In November 2003, when the Santa Barbara county sheriff’s department conducted another raid on Neverland Ranch, Diane Dimond and her camera crews were the only ones there to capture the moment and report the news to the world. Now, for the first time, Dimond recounts the multifaceted details of the Jackson case, utilizing her extensive notes and sources. What she tells us is a shocking story.

Be Careful Who You Love will take you behind the scenes and into the courtroom of one of the most controversial cases of the decade, while giving listeners a dramatic glimpse of one reporter’s vigilance and unending quest to uncover the truth.

Much more than expected

Eye opening. I was a fan until realizing how wrong I was to believe the pretense of Michael's life was all about being a good person. My eyes were opened, and this famous man, who's musical talent was remarkable, needs to be seen by others.

Bring’s you back . .

I enjoyed the book as it bring’s you back to the trial and how shocking it was to have someone SO famous accused of such a shocking crime. AND with so many boy’s!
I remember watching Ms. Dimond during those day’s and I always like her professionalism. This book is chalked full of details and court papers, and lot’s a direct quotes from those involved.
As much as I love Michael Jackson, (paid $100 to go see him in Irvine) it left me feeling queasy about him. And felt he should have gone to jail!

OUTSTANDING!

Great listen whether you're a Jackson fan or not! Highly recommend. Great narration by the author, always the best!

Great deep dive

Really enjoyed this book. I don’t give many books 5 stars but I feel this one deserves it. I’ve never been on Michael Jackson fan but I don’t dislike him either. This is a really good in-depth explanation of the case yet it’s not so technical to turn you off. Really enjoyed it and would recommend

This book was very fair to both sides.

I really enjoyed this book, it's so hard to find anything about mj that is fair and just addresses the facts. highly recommend it.
