If I Can Dream: Elvis' Own Story

I didn't care for this as it seemed much of the book was more about the author. I can't say I would recommend it.

AN "AVID" FAN

IF I HAD TO READ ONLY ONE BOOK ABOUT ELVIS, THIS WOULD BE THE ONE!

I Have Learned Most of What I Know...

Okay, I will admit, I am a teenager, but I can still tell a good book from a great book. And this is definately a great book in my opinion. I went to the library on a school project and I happened to pluck this one off the shelf. Once I started reading the first 13 pages, I was hooked. I never knew how emotional his life was, but the opening had me in tears. I think that this book is a great starter or even an update for any devoted Elvis fan. It covers every where from his teen years, to his last breaths- from his everyday frustrations to his immediate concerns about his love life and his daughter. I really was in love with the way Larry Gellar put in bits and pieces of conversations he had remembered and written down, and random quotes (from Elvis) that fit in with the messages he was trying to send you. After I had completed the biography for my school project, I honestly felt like I knew Elvis, not the image or random "everybody-knows-them" facts. I felt like I knew him, and I still do. Once you read this touching book, you've created a bond with Elvis you'll never get from someone who's never met him, but decided to write a book from their own research. I was touched by this book, and I will be forever. I highly suggest this book to anyone who wants the feelings that I have described above. Believe me, those are just a few of them.

FINALLY A LOVING PERSON WHO ELVIS COULD TRUST

I FOUND THIS BOOK AT A YARD SALE FOR 25 CENTS. THIS WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL STORY ABOUT ELVIS. IT MADE ME SO SAD OF THE TRAGIC LIFE AND LOSS THAT ELVIS HAD IN HIS LIFE. HE WAS SURROUNDED BY "USERS". IN THIS BOOK LARRY GELLAR TALKS ABOUT THE BOOKS ELVIS ENJOYED READING, AND THE PEACE HE SEARCHED FOR. THANK YOU LARRY FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL BOOK ON A WONDERFUL HUMAN.

This book makes me cry

I have now read Larry Gellers book at least 25 times - and I love it. Mr. Gellers love for Elvis is so deep and honest. There are passages in this book that makes my heart bleed for Elvis and just makes me cry. It's good to know that Elvis had at least one person he could always trust and with whom he could share his religious thoughts which meant so much to him. I cant wait to read the new book on Elvis by Mr. Geller.
