I'm reading this at the moment- it's the first volume of a biography of Elvis Presley which charts his early years and the first tentative ateps he took in showbiz. And it's very well written too, it gives you insight into how he felt as well as the wheelings and dealings of Colonel Tom Parker and other notable figures in the Elvis story, from his family to the members of his band.

Then there's the second volume 'Careless Love- The Unmaking of Elvis Presley' which goes into his decline and well publicised death at Graceland. Although this is for research it's actually quite an enjoyable story!

Actually that does sound like a good read alright..I find his career interesting myself but not enough to actually read about it   thats what biography films are all about    Anyone see the Kurt Russell one?

I haven't read it but I bet it's a fascinating read! I bet it's great doing a course where you get to watch films and read bios all in the line of research!
