Customer Reviews

Even though I'm young I know a good book when I see one!!!

I am a huge Elvis Presley fan and I have read alot of Biographies on him. My favorite is The book- Elvis by the Presley's, and the book- me and a guy named Elvis by Jerry Schilling. Those 2 are my favorites that I have read so far but this one I just added to my fav list. This book tells you so much about his life and you get to know Elvis just by reading this book.

Even handed look at the King

Jerry Hopkins has updated his classic biographies of Elvis and put them together in one outstanding book. It is terrific in that it shows the King in all of his glory, as well as showing some of his faults (Don't we all have 'em). Hopkins shares entertaining stories, and also concentrates on Elvis' music. Music that was so important it changed the world. So if you are looking just for lurid stories, most of which have been proven to be false, this probably isn't the book for you. If you are looking for an even-handed book that shows Elvis as the greatest entertainer ever, but still as human as the rest of us, I highly recommend this one. The price is also a plus!!
