Elvis in the Morning is about the King of Rock and Roll public life through the eyes of Orson Killere, a fan and friend who was the one who supposedly presented Elvis to his future wife Priscilla. This book mixes the history of Orson in the 60s, his short university life, his socialist activism and his professional and personal life with the hectic artistic life of the King, until his death in 1977. Even after so many years and knowing in advance how this story will end, the book has left me with the same sensation of the day when the world lost Lady Di, coincidentally also in August. |
This is a reasonable story that although fiction, reads as though it may have happened. |
I like Elvis, I like hearing about his struggling childhood and his rise to fame, but this book really did not capture my heart. It seemed to be more one dimensional and there was a message that was not attached to my heart. It was interesting, but I can not really say I enjoyed reading it very much. I had higher hopes for it. I found it too dry for my tastes. |
