About this audiobook
Elvis Presley is the famous singer who caused so much controversy that he was hated and loved among most of the American people. His sexual moves, his novel way of putting songs together… there was just something about him that attracted the ladies and the media attention at the same time.
Elvis didn’t grow up with wealth and fame. In a way, you could say he was living the American dream. However, he was kind of a bad boy as well, facing legal troubles, broken relationships and drug abuse. His death was lamented by many but his music lived on. Explore the era and methods of Elvis with us in this concise book/biography about his life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5By far, one of the greatest books in this niche. I do not believe the word "amazing" does this specific book justice. There has to be a much better word, and I will certainly keep looking, since it deserves something good to be said about it. The audiobook discusses several points of view very well. It also dives deeper into the content. My favorite chapters were actually the last chapters, in which the final thought became very clear.
