Customer Reviews

Well presented details

Elvis may have sung songs like "It's a Wonderful World" and "Fairytale" but this book suggests that Elvis' personal life was all too real, plagued by his own excesses and outside forces apparently driven to exploit him, indeed to a tragic end. This subject matter is very disturbing and FBI file information seems to support such speculation.However, if we accept that Elvis actually had a terminal illness [reportedly bone cancer] and that his personal conversations foreshadowing his own impending death are true then one must think that his passing was not the result of foul play. Yes, it is reasonable to wonder about the described telephone calls to Washington close to the time of a Grand Jury hearing to address his victimization. But I must reiterate that Elvis Presley's health was possibly in rapid decline and this points to a much more common departure from this realm.
