Elvis: Precious Memories Reviews:
Memories of Elvis 
2004-11-23 - I really liked this book. it was one of the more honest books written about Elvis. and written by the people that knew him best his family. i really liked the part about the ghost of Gladys and Elvis still walking around at graceland. and the music that you hear coming from Elvis bedroom when no one is in there that gave me chills! a good Elvis book for all fans.
Elvis:Precious Memories 
2001-05-05 - I take issue that this Elvis (maternal) cousin has taken on the name, Presley. Her mother was a Presley by birth... so where does Donna's father feature in all this name changing?
As for the book Donna claims as her own it is in fact just a reworking of her mother's original book. However, the original & this re-works does offer some precious gems... Nuff said from this Elvisbuff.
Elvis:Precious Memories
2000-06-04 - I have read this awesome book more times then any other. What a wonderful insight from a family member. No phoniness here, just straight talk and no nonsense! I would recommend it to all Elvis fans!
The best book ever written about Elvis
1998-12-08 - I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to all of Elvis' fans. It was written from the heart and also showed what a real family man Elvis was. I had the chance to meet Donna Presley and what a breath of fresh air she is. I also had this book send to Eurpoe to one of my sisters whom also is a huge Elvis fan. She really enjoyed the book also.
A great view of the personal Elvis by members of his family.
1998-10-21 - So many books have been written about Elvis Presley that you almost can predict what the next sentence will be. Not so with this one. The beauty of this book is that it truly gives you the sense of perspective from a family member's point of view... an "insider's point of view". I felt as if I were listening to an old family friend telling me about "great uncle so and so" (who just happens to be Elvis Presley)! The book does a good job of tying a lot of the family members together, reminding us that, in addition to being a Superstar, Elvis was also a man with a family that he loved and was devoted to. Some great never-before published photos lend an air of personal closeness to the Presley family and homeplace, drawing the reader into a better understanding of the dynamics that helped shape the man and the image. From their perspectives, his two cousins do a good job of blending their "precious memories" together with their love and appreciation for their famous relative. I would highly recommend this to true Elvis fans as well as anyone who wants to get another view of a very famous man.
