Is Elvis Alive? par Gail Brewer-Giorgio
The Elvis Tape
"When a man didn't want to be a god anymore"
This book had languished on my "to read" pile for the thick end of 20 years, so I thought I'd better give it a try. I was intrigued by the premace - could a star hide in plain sight and return to a normal life?
Unfortunately, that's not the story this book tells - it is a tissue-thin biography of a fictional character not entirely unlike our very own Elvis Presley. I have no idea how accurate a portrayal of our King this may be, but as a fiction it is entertaining enough. It's just unfortunate that the tale I was hoping for is basically what comes after this book... there are a handful of pages at the end that suggest the conspiracy of Orion's faked death, but nothing of his life thereafter.… (plus d'informations)

I'm always torn between whether I like this book or not. The religious imagery and references annoy me, and it's so much a copy of Elvis' life that I'm surprised the author could get away with claiming it was a work of fiction and so were the characters.
I got this book for a quarter at a yard sale. It's totally nuts, but I can at least say that I got a quarter's worth of enjoyment out of it. I am slightly embarrassed that I still own it.
