Book Review

Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley

The book I will be reviewing for this month’s article is Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley. Presley wrote about her experience dating the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. The memoir follows Priscilla as a young, fourteen-year-old girl who has to move to Germany due to her dad being in the army. Unbeknownst to her, Elvis Presley was drafted and in Germany at the same time. Priscilla found herself wrapped up in Elvis when she was scouted by his manager and was asked to meet him. She said yes with a little hesitation from her parents. They met and hit it off. Priscilla felt attached to Elvis. She would think about him every hour of every day. It became so bad that she was failing most of her classes due to not being able to study. The book then continues with her getting into a relationship with him. As his fame rises, Priscilla suspects he is being unfaithful. This book really shows the ups and downs of a seemingly, great relationship. Priscilla does a great job of describing a heartfelt, complicated relationship. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in reading autobiographies or to just get into reading because it’s such a fast paced book!
