Unsettling

This book I couldn't put down. It really gets into the relationship that Priscilla had with Michael Edwards but also the love she still had and still has for Elvis. I find this also unsettling about the relationship with Lisa Marie. A must read for any fan.

Intimate view of Priscilla...

This book is written by Michael Edwards- a former top male model and actor - who was Priscilla Presley's live in lover from 1978 to 1984. It is the story from his perspective of their romance and his life with Priscilla. It is written with unflinching honesty and it flows easily with its smooth, unpolished prose. He blames the stress and problems they had in their relationship to the strain of living under the Presley name and legend, but after reading the book, it seems to me that their issues were caused more by a constant stream of drinking and fast living in Elvis's shadow. I'm sure that Priscilla must have been enraged by this book as it holds back almost nothing, and after reading it, I can't say I blame her. The most controversial part of the book and what I'm sure must have caused a small uproar when it came out back in 1988 , was Edwards own admission that he had romantic and sexual feelings for Lisa Marie when she was in her early teens. I'm shocked that Mr.Edwards actually came out and admitted that. He must have been raked over the coals about that when doing the inevitable publicity that one does for a book like this. As an interesting footnote,I did an internet search using Michael Edwards name and came across a couple of interviews with Lisa Marie from 2003 and his name was brought up and she had an angry reaction, called Mr. Edwards a few choice names and said that she had hated him when he was with her Mother , which is a different picture than is painted in the book. Of course this is a one sided view of events, but I'd recommend this book to anyone, who would like a glimpse into Priscilla's life in the immediate years following Elvis's death.

Elvis Gets Sweet Revenge!

Great book! Pretty much sums up what "Child Bride" by Suzanne Finstad was trying to tell people. Priscilla Presley besmirched Elvis in her book, "Elvis & Me." Now Elvis gets his sweet revenge through Mike Edwards tell-all. Great pictures included in the book and Ms. Presley appears to be quite happy. No signs of grief over the loss of Elvis here. What some people seem to forget is that Elvis is a very powerful man - in life and death!
