Reviews

YA-- Jackson makes some shocking allegations about her family. She goes into great detail about the physical and psychological abuse she and her eight siblings suffered at the hands of their parents, the bitter jealousies amongfamily members, and the foiled attempts to kidnap her after she left home. She also writes about her in-name-only marriage to her manager, Jack Gordon, and the reasons she posed for a Playboy centerfold. The book is full of titillating bits of information meant to astound; it is comparable to an episode from television's ``A Current Affair'' in print. It will be popular with fans of the Jacksons.
