Lovely to find out more about the supremely talented and sometimes criminally underrated George Michael, especially to see extensive acknowledgment of his private but astounding generosity. Unfortunately this offering, which was churned out in the months following George’s death, is not especially well-written and often lacks depth, which is a crying shame considering the depth, complexity and talent of the person being examined.

The main part of the book closed on what seemed like a perfectly apt note - and was then immediately spoiled by the bizarre inclusion of the astrology chapter, which (after the first few lines) I didn’t bother reading. The timeline at the end also seemed a waste of space, taking the reader out of the mood built up in the final (main) chapter. The book had already covered these events so it felt quite redundant. 2.5 stars.… (plus d'informations)
