Summary: This is THE book on Elvis
Comment: "Elvis Aaron Presley: Revelations from the Memphis Mafia" is one of the best books that I have ever read. The book is based on in-depth interviews with three of Elvis' closest friends; Billy Smith, Marty Lacker, and Lamar Fike. Together, this three tells the most complete story about The Artist of the Century ever written. What's makes this book so unique is that the three individuals actually was there when it all happened. Not always all three at the same time, but at least one was present at (almost) all time. It's a honest book. It's three men, talking directly to the reader, about their friend. That's what makes this book so much more than an ordinary biography. And it's all put together in a brilliant way by the author, Alanna Nash. This is THE book on Elvis.

Summary: All you need to know about Elvis
Comment: WOW! What I have been yearning for years to learn about the personal side of Elvis, I learned in this book. This is one of those rare books that you pick up and can not put down until you finish. Although it is over 900 pages, I read it in just four days because each page was a new adventure. After reading this book, you will discover that there is a very unique bond between the Memphis Mafia and Elvis. I think it was a friendship that we all want to have at one time throughout our life. The only downfall to this book is that it makes you want to have MORE of it! Hopefully they will write another book and tell more stories.

Summary: The Court Jesters behead the King
Comment: Why any author would take the time to commit the moronic insights of these men about the most complex of people onto paper, is beyond me. Hey guess what everyone, Elvis abused drugs. I have now encapsulated this novel in one sentence. Why did it take Nash nearly 1000 pages? Every story is as boring as it could be and then it ends in Elvis using drugs. For those of you who have never walked past a checkout stand in the last 25 years I guess this is sensational. It is some kind of endless diary more than a novel. *Elvis went to the movies, ate a whole pizza then went home and did drugs.* Elvis lost his temper because the lowlifes around him were stealing everything they could get their hands on.* Elvis cheated on his wife with every foxy star and starlet that could get their hands on him . . . Other than Bily Smith, who should've never associated himself with this book considering how good Elvis was to him and his whole dirt scratching family, the contributors of this book were the people Elvis abused the most. Marty Lacker was the class bafoon at Humes and Lamar was Elvis' human toilet for 20 years. They never miss an opportunity to pay "The Boss" back with tales from the toilet. Without Elvis these guys are a bunch of dung shovelers and this book is nothing but road kill. Fortunately the real Elvis has finally been chronicled this year in the novel AROUND ELVIS by fan club president Thorne Peters.
