The author repeats himself to make the book seem longer than it is. Im so disappointed in myself for paying the ridiculous price of $14.95. Spare yourself the suffering of buying this book.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Believable. Well-Researched. Well-WrittenBy Crafty ChicaMy interest in this book was medical perspective of MJs death. If you want to read about MJs life. this may not be what youre looking for.Weve all heard the axiom that the cover-up is worse than the crime. but never is that more apparent than in this account of the last hours of Michael Jacksons life. Endless excuses and revised timelines by the doctor in the house are examined carefully and contrasted with evidence in the form of records showing that Dr. Cs story as told by him (in multiple versions and reversions) fell far from meeting the evidence that showed he was not at the bedside. and not in attendance at the times claimed.Its a pretty sad commentary on all the people and agencies who stood to benefit from MJs death. MJ was bankrupt and said himself that he was worth more dead than alive. The multiple doctors treating him apparently didnt communicate with one another. Anyone whos worked in the medical field knows propofol is strictly an inpatient therapy. but the quantities and purchases of this and many other drugs by Dr. C to treat MJ are startling.Polypharmacy to the extreme. mixed with a doctor who would only be paid if his patient performed (in a scheduled tour). Not defending anybody as there are no winners in this sad situation. but 83 Minutes makes a convincing case that this particular death was entirely predictable and totally preventable.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Neutral good bookBy GalileoI have read a lot about Michael and his surroundings. background and career. This book is one of the neutral ones of which you think: yes. this can be. There is no air of garbage about it. The author doesnt take anyones side but simply writes what could be. Im very closely following anything about Michael. Im no fan but I knew him.
