Summary: If only.....
Comment: If only the story line of Elvis - The Novel was true.... the world would be a better place. This is just a great book. Roy (who wrote the review before me) needs to get a sense of humour transplant. Yes, it's a parody, but it is written with such obvious affection for the subject - witness the way it finishes... Every page has several laughs, from the first (Elvis' birth and his twin) to the last (the Bibliography parodying all the cash ins - "Elvis, Me, 3 Orange-Utangs & 7 Different Adhesives, Fay Vest (Restless Urges, 1981)"). I cannot recommend this book enough!

Summary: Elvis The Novel - Off the Mark
Comment: On the whole, a less than satisfactory book. Intended to be funny, this story contains humor that is difficult to appreciate. Still, there are a few funny passages. The story line strays well beyond a plausible connection to the real Elvis and his actual life. Central figures in his real life are not included, and there are many fictional characters. Elvis himself appears to be mocked. Character development is lacking, and the story rambles on to an uneventful conclusion.
Rating: 5
Summary: Extremely amusing and affectionate book on 'the King'
Comment: If Elvis is still alive and living beside a burger bar in small town America he may pick up and read this 'cult classic'. He will laugh, thinking: 'this is how it could have been, this is how it should have been, and thank God it was never like that'. Buy this book now! Rumours have it that one of the authors is writing a less gentle lampooning of Walt Disney. I await this with anticipation.
