Rating: Summary: My heart beats like a drum for this literary masterpiece! Review: Oh the tragedy! That poor woman and the wretched life she had to overcome due to her sweet husband's fame. I wept and laughted as I turned every page of this tantalizing and wonderful story. I need a tissue just thinking of it! Seriously, my eyes are watering! Pricilla should have been a novelist - her talent for the display of human emotion through the written word is like a beacon of hope in a world of calamity! BRAVO Pricilla!!!
Rating: Summary: So first of all best book Review: Ok so this is such an interseting book for any true elvis fan.I can not believe how gay some of you people are.I think its cool how this bookgoes into as you people call 'a darker side' even thought its not,because shes letting his fans know another side of him,and you get to know more about elvis.Priscilla loved him with all her heart,anbd she isnot negative at all towards him.Maybe you people are just used to'are ytou lonseome tonight' well as far as im concerned that book is complete and total fiction.She doesnbt sayd anything bad about elvis,because its her fantasyu and she tries to make it like everything went well for them,excpet thqt they coulkdnt be together.First of all EVERY relationship hasd problmes.There is not certain thing as a problem free relationship,that author needs a fducking reality check,.Priscilla knows what really went on seeing as she was his wife,and with him for numeral amounts of yeatrs so stop being homos.
Rating: Summary: Autobiography of a goddess Review: Or, more accurately, Priscilla Presley's first-hand account of her life with her husband. Priscilla is one of the most amazing businesswomen of the USA, as well as a fine actress and the most beautiful lady to ever walk the planet. Sadly, none of this was ever allowed to develop in this marvelous creature by the bullying of the man she loved. His erratic treatment of the fragile young Priscilla is sometimes more than sad; you FEEL for her. Her need for other men was due to her husband's sexual ineptitude and cheating: Priscilla had every right to seek satisfaction elsewhere. Her true self emerged in the liberating years following her marriage. If she was not the most attentive mother to her daughter in those years, it was because Priscilla needed to find HERSELF. The beautiful butterfly had to learn to break free from the cocoon before she could fly free into the limitless future. Let us hope that Priscilla has found the truest happiness that could ever be bestowed upon a mere human being, for she truly deserves it.
Rating: Summary: poor little priscilla-not- Review: priscilla acts like she was the inasent one. she wwrite's abouthow Elvis cheated on her, she also cheated on him right after she hadLisa marie. She writes about that in her book. She knew what she was getting into when she married Elvis. She had lived with him before for a numerous of years before they married, so i don't pitty her one bit. as far as her keeping the Presley name i think she kept it for her acting coureer. That didn't go to far. I believe she took the easy way out, she left him when he was down. she didn't stand by her man.and for someone that want's to know the real priscilla read the child bride- great book.
Rating: Summary: This book is compasionate and filled with love. Review: Priscilla Beaulieu has wriiten a book that shares her life with the king. It is a love story that takes place in a fantacy world of their own. Elvis fans and romance lovers should read this remarkable book.
Rating: Summary: Just Imagine Being Married to The King! Review: Priscilla generiously takes us into her home and marriage to reveal what it was like livin' large with The King himself! I always thought she was a bit too young to be hooked up with Elvis -- but they really had a love-thing going on. I read this book in preparation for a visit to Graceland myself several years ago, and I could actually feel Elvis' presence in the mansion. It's eerie. I'm just really glad to see that Priscilla has emerged from being a child-bride to a successful actress and businesswoman. Elvis' legacy lives on thanks to this magnificent woman!
Rating: Summary: Her Way Review: Priscilla has always polished her image more than Elvis'. She makes Graceland employees sign loyalty oaths and sues anyone that says something against her. You can trash Elvis all you want, but she goes on the warpath over stories reveal her drug use and promiscuity. She sued the special services guy, Curry Grant, that introduced her to Elvis, when he claimed to have been her first lover. I can't imagine how she won that suit. She plays herself up as this great entreprenurial wizard that turned Graceland into a gold mine, when all she really did was open the front door and 15,000,000 people have come by. We love Elvis not Priscilla. In all the other books, Priscilla is minor figure in Elvis' life, making her entrances and exits and driving Elvis away with her tantrums and attitudes. Elvis usually managed to stay a house away from her throughout their years together so that he'd be free to pursue his many loves and flings. When he'd be in Hollywood, she'd be in Memphis. When she moved to LA, Elvis got a place in Palm Springs. The book is written in a childlike narrative that is as annoying as her interviews, where she presents herself as this coquettish blushing giggling 60 year old teen. Remember what Elvis told you; don't bob your hair red and wear prints, checks and stripes . . . especially in the same outfit. Read CHILD BRIDE for the real skinny on Ms. Beaulieu!
Rating: Summary: How do I hate this book; let me count the ways . . . Review: Priscilla portrays herself as a victim; a poor waif that was manipulated into a lifestyle not of her choosing. Elvis forced her to use drugs, dabble in bisexuality, and finally drove her into the arms of her dance instructor, her karate instructor and others. Then why long after Elvis passed away, was she still using recreational drugs, dabbling in bisexuality and engaging in rampant promiscuity? Her cheating ways continued when she was with Mike Stone, then Mike Edwards and her current man servant Marco Garabaldi. She took Elvis to task about being a terrible father and even filed suit to take Lisa Marie away from him until he gave her more money and jewelery, yet exposed her to her footloose lifestyle of partying with gigolos. Mike Edwards even wrote a book detailing his lust for the pre-pubescent Lisa Msarie while they were living under the same roof. I don't deny what she says about Elvis, it is the intent that bothers me. She leaves out how she drove him away with her constant braying about his life and career and how she thought that she was his boss. She thought nothing of degrading Elvis to her friends and his, she brazenly talked about her sexual dissatisfaction and carried on her affairs openly daring his Memphis Mafia guys to tell The Boss. Today she runs the enterprise without consideration for the fans. She rents out the land around the mansion to low rent businesses and has remade Graceland in her image, by doing away with Elvis' renovations in favor of her own questionable taste. Today Graceland is one of the worst tourist traps on the planet and that would make Elvis very sad, because his love and care for the fans that put him on that hill was as exemplary as his career. The telling moment in this book/movie, is where she depicts herself at the airport in Germany, weeping hysterically and crying out his name . . . however newsreels show her frosty countenance with no more than a momentary pout. Elvis called her the coldest woman he had ever known . . . that is her epitaph . . .
