 Regurgitated material don't waste your money June 17, 2008

This book is a let down for all the hype it got. Jerry is obviously Priscillas poodle and it shows blatantly in this book. This soft soaping "careful to not break any eggs" writing is getting old. I am not saying to speak ill or write dreck like what Marty Lacker does. Just saying that the fans might appreciate you acting like you got a pair like your friend Joe who is not afraid to say his mind. Take Elvis Straight Up for example, Joe says it like it happened covers the raquetball lawsuit ,drugs,divorce, col parker etc without throwing Elvis under a bus.
Is it too much to ask a representative of the Estate to acknowledge the intelligence of the fans?
Jerry, If you would have told the story the way it really happened, you might start doing some good by putting those other trash authors like Nash and the likes out of business.
Jerry, get back on the computer and put some kick bootie into this book. The fans will love you for it.
 Nice Book June 16, 2008
I have read this book awhile back and feel it's a nice story but alittle reserved for someone that was very close to Elvis. I like Jerry's honesty but prefer the reality packed Joe Esposito books like Remember Elvis and Elvis Straight UP. I have the sense that since Jerry is very close with the Estate , it might have had something to do with how careful he writes. At least he did not stoop down to the level of a Sonny West, Lamar Fike or that insane idiot Marty Lacker.

I ordered this product a MONTH AGO and still HAVEN'T RECIEVED IT. I contacted the seller and after a couple of dats finally got a response that told me to WAIT, stating that if I don't recieve in ANOTHER BUSINESS WEEK that I would either be shipped a replacement or given a refund. I paid fast, and have been patient, but this is ridiculous! I will NEVER buy from them again!
 Highly recommend this book to any Elvis fan! April 27, 2008
I recently became an Elvis fan and wanted to know more about the personal side of Elvis. If that is what you are looking for, then I highly, highly recommend this book. Jerry Schilling does a wonderful job of telling about the personal friendship and working relationship he had with 'The King'. I loved reading this book and came away from it an even bigger Elvis fan than before. Schilling does a fantastic job of making you feel as if you are there in the moment, in the story with him. It's obvious from this book that Jerry and Elvis had a close friendship and it's great to learn about the personal and human side of Elvis. It makes ME love him even more!! I'm very glad I bought this book and would certainly buy it again.
LOVED IT April 11, 2008
I absolutly loved this book. I don't read many books twice but I did with this one.
I first began reading this book christmas of '06. I didn't care much about Elvis at the time but I opened it up thinking I would read a page or two. Well, I ended up finishing it in a week. Four Elvis books later, this is still the best one I've ever read.
He got me so emotionally involved I couldn't put it down!
