Elvis and Me Reviews:
I really enjoyed it. 
2009-11-27 - I found myself not able to put this book down. I admit that a lot of the information I had already heard before. It was still really good. A lot of reviewers on here say that it's made up lies, but how do they know, they weren't there. I know a lot of stuff was left out of the book and it even says so at the very end that she left out a lot. It could have went into more detail in some areas but it was still a good read.
The best part of the book is the pictures 
2009-09-29 - I read the first chapter in the bookstore before making the decision to purchase it. I told myself I wasn't going to give Priscilla one red cent if she was negative about Elvis. The first chapter was basically the ONLY chapter in the book where she wasn't painting a bad picture of Elvis. This book infuriated me - I finished it, but regretted purchasing it. The only reason I didn't throw the book away is because of the pictures. Would not recommend to an Elvis fan.
Very good, a hard book to put down! 
2009-06-26 - A lot of the reviews are negative. I wanted to say I found the book fascinating. Very difficult to put down or walk away from. It depects Elvis in a positive and negative light. All in all, as a normal guy, which he was! Told obviously by Priscilla, it's her point of view so perhaps it's skewed but I learned much I didn't know about the family and difficulties he faced. If you are a fan of Elvis, music, or old Hollywood this is a great book to read.
Entertaining story 
2009-05-31 - I bought this book on a whim, and found it to be an entertaining read concerning what life with Elvis may have been like. Over all I came away from this book with the feeling that perhaps about 10 percent of the story is based in fact, with a story built up around that base for self image protection or some sort of self image projection for the public.
It's not a bad read at all; it just has the feeling of being about as truthful and honest as a Washington politician. I suppose when it comes to the fantasy world of Hollywood, and Celebrities who are too far removed from the real world, attempting simple honest truth is too difficult of an obstacle to overcome and save face.
I would recommend this book for entertainment reading purposes for the most part. As far as an honest and factual story, perhaps that may come with a sequel to this book.
a weave of lies.... 
2009-04-08 - This book is a weave of lies. How Pisscilla wants fans to believe things. Maybe she is hoping people will forget how things really went. If you divorce him you ain't his widow hunny, much less one who ever really cared about him. Quit making the damn Barbies too! I gave my cat the Priscilla doll for a toy.... You want the real story on Priscilla read Child Bride.
