Elvis And Me

I couldn't put this book down. I have been an ardent fan of Elvis since the age of 15 in 1958. Like many others I heard the stories about Elvis, but only half believed what I heard because we all know much of what we read is not truthfull. It was so touching to read about Elvis from one who loved him so much and wanted us to know how truly special he was. Knowing about his fears and trials just made him seem more like one of the rest of us, which is what he was in a lot of ways. I was moved to tears by the heartbreak of two people who loved each other but couldn't work it out. I think if he had lived there would have been a happy ending to this story, one that Pricilla alluded to of a reuniting between Elvis and her. I truly believe that Pricilla was the love of his life. I pray that Pricilla and Lisa will be happy in their memories and thank you for sharing with us.

If you've seen my review on SHE'S COME UNDONE, Wally Lamb, you know I like a book that can hold your emotions in its hands. The way Priscilla wrote this book made me believe I knew Elvis for myself. Elvis is way before my time yet I feel a connection. Even though he was somewhat of a control freak, I loved the way he saved her for marriage. If your a romantic like me, you will have almost no trouble looking past his outragous temper and only see his gentle, romantic side. This is a book for when you have no hope for love and want to cry. Its romantic and sad and upsetting and cute and everything else a book could be. I have so much interest in Elvis now and his life. I see him in a different light now after reading this book.
