The 1 star reviews of this book from people who never read it, are undeserved. As a true fan of Mac, I wanted to read about his life and career, not how his music affected an author. Dozens upon dozens of his day ones and musical collaborators went on the record to contribute to this well researched book. They offer true & honest first hand experiences of being part of the inner circle. Other information is taken from interviews, all painstakingly cited throughout.
For me, the most interesting revelation in the book was finding out Mac's first girlfriend was the one who ended their relationship for good in June of 2016. Shocking, since she angrily implied on her blog for 2 years that it was the other way around.
However, the main focus of the book is what an outstanding human, son, friend and brother Mac was. How he always confronted his detractors and critics with kindness and grace, winning them over with charm instead of revenge. I'm sure much more was shared with the author that he chose not to publish, out of an abundance of respect for Mac and his family.
If you want facts about Mac and his legacy, this is the book for you. If you want to cling to the hive mindset that some of his fans have invented since his passing, then I suppose the other book would be your best choice.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews!
As a fan of Mac Miller and an avid reader this has been an extraordinary read & well worth it. I purchased both books the one endorsed by mac’s family & this one. And the read by Paul C. 100 percent throws the other book out. This was so well researched & written. I didn’t want to put it down! I recommend 100 percent. He did not deserve the hate he got for this, the amount of time, effort, & research it must have took to write this book astounds me. If you want to pick one, id say this. It saddens me that Mac’s family would send hate too this author simply because they weren’t making profit off this book. I would also like to mention that Paul states at the beginning of this book that he was not working with Mac’s family. So there was no hidden agenda or anything, just a well written book.
