Elvis and Me

Rating:
Summary: Does not scratch the surface of the truth.
Review: Priscilla's account of her years with Elvis from the time they met in Germany up until the divorce is gappy, and full of self-pity. This reader would like to know, for one, more about her true feelings. I got the impression from reading this book that Priscilla was writing about the reactions around her instead of delving into herself and providing the insight that only the wife of the King of Rock'n'Roll could tell. She is good when it comes to funny stories about her life with Elvis, but spare when it comes to the deep feelings of rejection and sadness that she must have felt. It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that I did not feel justified in rating this book with more than two stars.

Summary: Presenting The Priscilla Myth
Review: Simplistic in its writing style, Priscilla tells about her life and her relationship with The King. The truth is heavily embellished and "Priscilla-tized", making for a great romance novel but not for an accurate account of how she met Elvis and their relationship. If you do read this book, you ABSOLUTELY MUST read "Child Bride" by Suzanne Finstad along with it, and judge for yourself if Miss Priscilla is being completely honest with herself and with her readers. I could not help but feel a strong underlying resentment and jealousy towards Elvis that seeps through her narration. Priscilla's book has many interesting revelations and anecdotes, but after you read "Child Bride", it's more intriguing to see what Priscilla didn't include in her autobiography than what she did.

Summary: Recommend as a basic Elvis book
Review: Somehow I feel this is just the surface and not the total story I know that will never come out because Elvis is gone, we will never know that only her side. The book had a lot of information in it about her life with him on a basic level.

Rating:
Summary: "Poor Little Me"
Review: 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.

Summary: Elvis and Me and the clothes we wore
Review: That would of been a more appropriate title. I could not believe how fixated Priscilla is on her and Elvis's clothes. Grant it they were show-biz people and Elvis certainly liked clothes and obviously dressing Priscilla, but it seems every event she recalls is tied into their clothing apparel. Still it is quite enjoyable to see a side of Elvis form his one true love. The Elvis insights are great but the remembrances about herself are very weak, even though she was very young through the story she comes across as a very shallow person or maybe she just doesn't want to tell.

Rating:
Summary: I LOVE this book!
Review: The book Elvis and Me was the best book I ever read! I am only thirteen years old but I still enjoyed this book. The book goes through when Priscilla first met Elvis to there last days together. I have probably read this book at least ten times. Although the book is very sad at the end you will be hanging on to every word.

Summary: One star is too many!
Review: The old saying goes, "If you are going to get involved with a musician, be prepared". It's not a normal life and no musician ever pretended it was. They have greater temptations and problems than someone with a 9 to 5 job. Priscilla knew what she was getting into, before she got into it, so I have no sympathy for her. Understanding musicians is the key to a happy life with them. Apparently, she was too selfish to care about anyone else but Priscilla and how SHE could benefit. Elvis was no saint, but who among us is? I think Priscilla's bubble was burst when she found out that Elvis was a real human being! How childish can you get?

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This book is absolutley amazing and the best part is you know it's fact and not something made up. Ms. Presley did a great job and I know it had to be hard for her. I love Elvis now more than ever because she gave me an insight on how he was not just an icon but most importantly a good, decent man.

Summary: ELVIS,THE ALLTIME KING LIVES THANKS TO CILLA!!!
Review: This book is amazing. Priscilla talks about her life, with the only man she ever loved. Anyone, like i am, who is an elvis fan,surley had to love this book, it is so straight forward and tells everything you could wish to know. And how much she truly loved him and evrything she did for him and he for her. And to all of you who have written horrible reviews, priscilla wasn't trying to get your sympathy, she was just trying to and succeeded in writing the story of the greatest man that ever lived. The story that could have only been told so wonderfully by the woman he loved. This book is Amazing!!
