Customer Reviews

One of the best

"This book follows Elvis through the years as observed by people who knew him. It is very well organized and put together, never boring. Great stories for you to enjoy. All those who were interviewed obviously loved Elvis, but in their very individual ways. The author did not attempt to manipulate the reader and you will find yourself sometimes in agreement, sometimes in astonishment and sometimes upset. You will also get to know the man behind the legend a little bit better. He was a very unique human being. From his wonderful sense of humor and caring ways to his painful end - through this book you can imagine what if would have been like to enjoy his company. I have read quite a few books about Elvis. In my opinion this is one of the best."
