    Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world. This volume tracks the first 24 years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records, and the early RCA hits.

    Story
    If you could sum up Last Train to Memphis in three words, what would they be?

    Very informative and it held my attention for 22 hours.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Of coarse, Elvis. I was never crazy about him in general growing up, but I now have a new opinion of him as a very geniune person.


    What about Kevin Stillwell’s performance did you like?

    He made you believe he was actually there with the characters.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    What you never knew about Elvis, the person.

    If driving a piece-of-crap tow truck through the seediest part of town with a Smith & Wesson beside her means putting a roof over her son’s head, then Samantha Jones is going to be the best damn repo woman on the books. The streetwalkers, the drug pushers, the bands of looking-for-trouble punks haunting the mean streets at midnight don’t intimidate her. These are her people. The guy she finds bound and bloodied in the trunk of her latest conquest, a flashy new BMW, is a different breed entirely.

    What would have made Shiver better?

    To discriptive and wordy on non important story lines


    What could Karen Robards have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Not sure, maybe make me shiver.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Very dull performance.


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    disappointment
