The well written book confirmed for me that George Michael is an honest and loving, giving being. Through EVERYTHING he has gone through an inspiration. A "gifted" man whom has blessed us with not only his voice and songwriting but also fighting for what he believes in. I wish him continued success and to keep the faith and strength. Thank you also to the author Robert Steele for a fascinating journey through his writing. Could not place the book down. Fantastic writing!"
