Customer Reviews

Boertlein IS Elvis!

I'm joking. But the trivial detail here is superb. The research is excellent and the tone remains objective from a writer who is obviously a complete Elvis freak. I found no minuses with this book. It is what it says. Light fun. I read the whole thing on my deathbed. (My diagnosis was wrong, hence this review. Hurray!)

Great book for Elvis fans

Elvis - one day at a time. This is a fun, light read, with both well known and little known bits about the King. Read it day-by-day, or skip around, it's all good. Great price, too. I recommend it!
