More About the Author
Product Description
Jann Wenner, founder and editor of Rolling Stone
'The Elvis bookshelf is crowded now, but don't let that put you off. This thoroughly revised and updated version of Hopkins' two classic books deserves a shelf of its own.'
Peter Guralnick, author of Last Train to Memphis
'With a rare combination of seat-of-the-pants reporting and thoughtful portraiture, Hopkins creates a richly nuanced picture of a world in flux.'

Ronrig Dundee,
By Ron Dundee (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elvis: A Biography (Hardcover)
I was given the original publication of this book in 1972. It writes about Elvis Presley as the world new him then. There is none of the critical revelations that abounded after his death. It was first and probably the best biography book I've read about Elvis.

Even handed look at the King,
By ElvisFan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elvis: The Biography (Paperback)
Jerry Hopkins has updated his classic biographies of Elvis and put them together in one outstanding book. It is terrific in that it shows the King in all of his glory, as well as showing some of his faults (Don't we all have 'em). Hopkins shares entertaining stories, and also concentrates on Elvis' music. Music that was so important it changed the world. So if you are looking just for lurid stories, most of which have been proven to be false, this probably isn't the book for you. If you are looking for an even-handed book that shows Elvis as the greatest entertainer ever, but still as human as the rest of us, I highly recommend this one. The price is also a plus!!

Even though I'm young I know a good book when I see one!!!,
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elvis: The Biography (Paperback)
I am a huge Elvis Presley fan and I have read alot of Biographies on him. My favorite is The book- Elvis by the Presley's, and the book- me and a guy named Elvis by Jerry Schilling. Those 2 are my favorites that I have read so far but this one I just added to my fav list. This book tells you so much about his life and you get to know Elvis just by reading this book.
