Customer Reviews

An example of true friendship

Marian J Cocke was a true friend to Elvis Presley and it's evident in her book. She asked for nothing from him but his friendship. I received this book from my mother and read it the same day. I just couldn't put it down. I heard Marian speak at the 30th Anniversary Memorial service for Elvis that George Klein hosted at Memphis State University. I had heard of Marian and the fact that she was a private nurse to Elvis in later years. After hearing her speak so fondly of him and tell a couple of funny stories, I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about her. My mother who is a life long Elvis fan looked through her expansive collection of books and found that she had a copy of Marian's book and gave it to me. What a great story that is certainly a must read for the true Elvis fan.

A Great Book about Elvis

This book is NOT for the intellectuals out there, but it IS for folks who are interested in a beautiful story about 2 friends. It was refreshing to read this book and it touched my heart deeply. Mrs. Cocke has continued to honor her dear friend Elvis with her annual dinner during Elvis week in August and she is truly a sweet person. I would love to meet her someday! I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves Elvis and who is interested in his final years.

a very good one

I loved the book thought it was really good and an easy read but did think the nurse did a lot of bragging about the fact she was close to Elvis. but it was a good book.

My heart is full

I recieved my book on Thursday and finished it on Sunday, I could not put it down. It is amazing to me how this book touched me. I laughed and cried, in this book I seen a side of Elvis that I never knew exisisted. and it helped change some negitive thoughts I had. this is one of the BEST books Ive read in a long time. thank you Marian j Cocke.
