This is a well written book and is an add-on to Jerry Hopkins' first biography of Elvis published in 1971. This book was the first seriously researched biography written while Elvis was still alive and hence the need for this add-on which was published in 1981. Hopkins writes as an objective author and so his telling of the story avoids all the questions that arise when a biography is written by someone who was part of Elvis' life e.g the Memphis Mafia, and for this reason, it is worth reading. However, I note that Hopkins has written a new book called 'Elvis' which is soon to be released and it may be worth waiting for this. I assume it will be an up-dated version of the other two but I don't know this for sure.

Volum II of the classic pre-Guralnick Elvis bio
15 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
I summed it up in my title: Peter Guralnick's Elvis books are the standard serious biographies now, but before those, Hopkins' were the best of the dozens of Elvis books out there. He had the proper perspective on the greatness of Elvis's music, the sadness and weirdness of the final years, and who contributed what along the way.

My Review
30 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
I think the book was really boring. It didn't make much sense to me, but maybe the reason why is because I wasn't really interested in the book.
