I am a collector of most things Jerry Lee Lewis, including biographies of the man (which now number over 1/2 dozen). This one, "Great Balls of Fire", is written by Myra Brown, better known as Myra Gail Lewis, the thirteen year old cousin bride of Jerry Lee, so there's more intimate knowledge of the topic present than most biographies.

Any coverage of the Killer tends to include Old Testament references, which seems to fit Jerry Lee like a glove. Mixed in as well are the many wives of the Killer and the countless pitfalls he faced, many self-inflicted, as well as Myra's recollection of her own pre-teen sexual assault.

Not the best Jerry Lee Lewis biography out there but certainly not the worst.

I just could not finish this. The author is so self indulgent, so misguided. Everything becomes about him as he tries to create a career on the accomplishments or stories of other people. If meeting the Dalai Lama had converted Silver to an intensely spiritual person, as he implies, he would not have published a book based on the hopeless failures, self deceptions and ruined lives of other people.
