Couldn’t put it down
So none of that ever really happened….no, but to a devoted Elvis fan, I cling to every word. Imagining myself in a world where Elvis was still alive after my birth in ‘84.
A sweet story that will tug at your heart strings as a wish this may have been reality instead of his untimely death in ‘77, and the deaths of his other loved ones that have followed.

Superb
Loved this book.A fascinating and fictional story of what might have been if Elvis had changed his life & lived beyond age42. If you are a true Elvis fan you must read this book. I have read many many books about Elvis. ( true & sensational) . Those books, although good ,left me sad and melancholy; because we all truly know Elvis's fate. This book will leave the reader happy and smiling and wondering..... What If....... Highly recommend this book for an uplifting feeling.

I loved this novella. I'm an Elvis fan and I get so sad thinking of how his life was cut short. All the light and joy he brought to the world. So, reading this was almost a kind of 'Elvis Therapy' as I've pondered 'what if' so many times with him. What if he had lived? Anyway, I'm not going to give away anything but, if you're a fan (and if you're not, you should be) this book will probably make you happy and tingly and nostalgic and hopeful and bring you a little joy.

A Wonderful Dream!
I didn't dislike anything, except I wish it was true.
I recommend this book to all Elvis' fans who for a little while bin would like to experience what it would have been like for Elvis to have turned his life around and to have lived a long, happy life with his family and to have had the career that he wanted.
I gave it a, 5-star rating because it was well written, short and to the point, and it was a wonderful dream.

What Might Have Been
As an Elvis fan, I really enjoyed this story. The author’s attention to detail is what makes this story work. Elvis is portrayed as a person his many fans would recognize. It’s the small nuances that the author captures well. I love what if/time travel themes. This was a treat!

What a fun book .. and its what every Elvis fan dreams of. It's not long (I do wish it didn't end for obvious reasons) but its a tight story and for a moment or two, the world is perfect.
The time travel aspect is well done and simple. There is nothing too deep but does what it promises. Highly recommended

what If
What if this book was real accounts of changing Elvis’s life. This book is excellently written. He was a one of a kind entertainer and one gets the opportunity to envision a world where Elvis lived to be an old age and make more of an impact on the world through this book.

I’ve been a fan of Elvis fiction for sometime. This one is an amazing story that weaves in time travel with a heartfelt friendship. My mother would’ve loved this book.
