Media Reviews
A wonderful book...Guralnick gives us an Elvis of real flesh and blood...the richest and most detailed protrait of Presely we have ever had. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
Unrivalled...Elvis steps out of these pages, you can feel him breathe, this book cancels out all others - BOB DYLAN * Wonderful...Guralnick deserves to live in Graceland - RODDY DOYLE *

Guralnick is a scrupulous biographer, now established as the definitive chronicler of the strange life and turbulent times of Elvis Presley; better still, his enthusiasm for Elvi s' music shines through on every page of the text. And in the end, after all * Patrick Humphries, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW *
