Length: 9 hrs and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

More than seven years after his death, Michael Jackson continues to fascinate the world. Shana Mangatal was one of Jackson's only constant and true rocks of stability for nearly two decades. Their relationship was quiet and sweet and real - a closely guarded secret, known only to a few trusted employees and friends. Shana is now coming forward to tell their love story. Her story is rich with every little detail. She witnessed the scandals, lawsuits, the release of groundbreaking albums and subsequent world tours, big-budget short films, and addictions. Michael and Me entertains and inspires, but above all, Shana continues to treat Michael (and his legacy) with respect. This is not an exploitative tell-all, but rather a book that shows the side of Michael people never knew. In it, Shana paints a more intimate picture of this beloved, yet very misunderstood man.

GREAT!!!

Took me a long time to decide to listen to this book by Shana. But once I did I loved it! She was a good friend to him and I throughly enjoyed listening to it.

Fell in Love with this Book

At first, even being taken into the story well, I found myself with different emotions throughout this book. I had feelings of skepticism which led me to further investigate truths to this book in which I found she was telling legit stories. In the end I am completely left satisfied and think Shana is a beautiful woman.

Interesting perspective

Girlfriend from his work relationship, inside story, not exactly normal and not so good for her

I liked it very much

It was a really interesting book and I think, well written. I felt for her and could relate to her emotions.

Pleasant

This book was interesting but I felt sad that the author wasted so many years waiting for Michael Jackson to pay attention to her. He maybe cared for her but was not in love with her. She waited a long time hoping that things would happen for them. I have to say that I enjoyed the books by Frank Casio and Michael’s bodyguards much more because they had much closer relationships with Michael and were with him day in and day out at times

Not well written

I thought that it had potential from the title and the fact that the author and I have the same name so thought it could be cool hearing my name in the story.
The writing is mediocre at best. The performance sounded as if a junior high student was reading it with “young” intonation. And the story of an inexperienced girl being taken advantage of and strung on for decades does not seem like it should be something to boast about…. If it is even true. Sounds like the story of a groupie and name dropper. I wasn’t impressed.

Michael and me

As began listening to the first 13 chapters it was hard to hear, it seemed like she had disdain in her voice and judgement in her words so I stopped , two weeks later I went back and found the most sad love story ever written , there was laughter and joy and sadness in it I began to feel how the author felt as she read. I give her five stars and a thumbs up for her courage in being able to tell her story. I recommend all Jackson fans to read this and not Judge a book by its cover. May god bless you Shana. Rip Michael

best book ever

I love your book Shana and this is the best book I have ever read.

LOVE IS FOREVER

SHANA MADE SO REAL IT WAS HONEST AND REAL I JUST LOVED IT! IT WAS SAD THAT THE LAST TIME THEY TALKED TO EACH OTHER WAS A DAVID COPPERFILDS SHOW!

This was a different look in the life of Michael Jackson. I feel like I got a better understanding of the man.
