Book Reviews of Elvis and Me
Book Review: "Poor Little Me"
Summary: 4 Stars
That should've been one of the first title ideas to pop in Priscilla's mind. The book gives great detail on how Elvis seemed to "mold" and ultimately discard her life, opinions, and desires. I would have preferred a little more detail on his positive traits and generosity, with less emphasis on the "poor victim" role she portrayed. All in all, the book gives a pretty good understanding on the KING and what it must have been like to be tied to such a legendary performer.Book Review: "Truth or Lies".....you decide....
Summary: 5 Stars
I started this book and I have to admitt, I read it in one day....It was very intersting however I don't think it was very factual....If you get this book be sure and get "Child Bride" as well, and compare....It is entertaining that's for sure! I love Elvis Presley...My mom was at his concert when she started having contractions with me...He is a heart throb and a very intersting man. This book I am sure has some truth to the legend, Elvis Presley's life and the things that went on during his time here, but lil Mrs. Priscilla is not as innocent as she tries to say in her book...Just look at her past reviews, the "seductive" pictures she has posed oh so many times in...She is a good story teller though. She tells it like she is a victim. You will see reading this book that in her own words she was very into Elvis, and VERY controlling and jealous....I say read this book...but get "Child Bride" as well...Book Review: (Beauty and the beast)
Summary: 4 Stars
When I first read this book I thought what a fairy tail princess life. As I got to the middle it made me feel sad that Priscilla left Elvis and so forth and that he had to go through what he went through which was eating too much and absorbing more drugs. She went through heaven and hell still in her teens and 20's. She then became the most successful woman in the world by opening Elvis Presley Enterprises and turning graceland into the top money making site seeing place. She was and still the most awsome and beautiful creature I have ever seen in my entire life. So read this book!Book Review: A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH
Summary: 1 Stars
Who among us would want to have our image and empire run by our cheating ex spouse? Elvis was no saint, and I don't blame Priscilla for getting out or straying when he wouldn't make love to her. The reasons why he shut her out is what she leaves out of the book. CHILD BRIDE tells a far more accurate version of how Elvis' little experiment with her backfired and he was forced into marriage by Priscilla's step father, who threatened to go public with the nature of their relationship if he didn't seal the deal with the marriage he promised. Elvis was still going to back out until the Colonel put his foot down and made Elvis get on one knee. Some guy that step father is; who would let their 15 year old daughter move in with a movie star? It's like those parents that send their kids to Neverland Ranch hoping for a big pay day. The Bealieu family's exploitation of Elvis has been a sin that continues, and she has seemingly passed her hard feelings along to Lisa Marie.Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great work of fiction. How can we deny or comply with the words written? It's for Priscilla Presley alone to know if the truth was written or not. But, once you start the book, it's very hard to put down. The material immediately grabs you and hangs on for the remainder of the story. If you are looking for a book that hints at a biography, includes history, shines as a love story, and reads like a best selling fictional book, then this book is for you.
Enjoy!
