In order to win the wealthy Portias hand in marriage; Bassanio thinks he needs money to impress her. He goes to his friend Antonio for help; but Antonios money is tied up in ships. Antonio brings him to Shylock; a Jewish moneylender. Shylock despises Antonio but agrees to lend Bassanio 3;000 ducats without interest...on one condition: that Antonio surrender a pound of flesh if Bassanio cant repay the loan. Set in Venice; this play addresses the problems that come from acting for ones own benefit; instead of out of love for others. This is an unabridged version of playwright William Shakespeares dark comedy; first published in England in 1600.

What a tragic life he led; and his betrayal by so many of his closest family members; will blow your mind. Is it 100 percent true? We will probably never know as with many things about Jackson. But the author does a commendable job of documenting every point he makes. Profusely. RIP; MJJ.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book!By Kathy B BrysonThis was a very good read. It is very detailed and covers until the end of Michaels life. The author is compassionate toward MJ. Im glad I purchased this book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just okay.By My Humble OpinionThe delivery was prompt. The book is a disappointment -- tabloidesque; not much about MJ as an artist.
