"I read Guralnick's second volume prior to buying this one. Both are must-reads for any Elvis fan or for someone wanting to know how his life developed. It's thorough without being boring. I devoured it."
"Another book I picked up after last fall's trips to visit my friends Heather and Clay in the wonderful city of Memphis. Great book, couldn't put it down. Reviewers say it's the best book on Elvis around. Haven't read much about Elvis, but I can't imagine it getting much better than this. A very sympathetic account, it keeps an eye on what is important about Elvis - his astonishing talents - and not the sordid stuff (although the sordid stuff is mentioned). To my delight, Elvis's Army buddy Rex Mansfield is mentioned several times (and quoted) towards the end of the book - I met Rex in the course of my career in utility equipment sales. Rex was a rep for American equipment in Germany, and visited us several times at the factory. He told us Elvis stories, which pretty much thrilled me. Lots of girls over in Germany when you hung out with Elvis. Lots of girls... Pretty cool to say I know a guy who knew Elvis. Which is about as cool as I'm ever going to get."
"This is just an amazing book that details the early years of Elvis Presley. This book shows just what an awesome talent he was and how his genius was formed in spite, or maybe because, of coming from such an impoverished background."
"I laughed and cheered all the way through this book. It is wonderful to read about a poor boy hitting it big because he has an extraordinary talent that seems to be God given. Wouldn't we all love to have a gift like this and live a life of success and extreme popularity? It is a treat to recognize so many names from Tennessee and the country music industry."
