“Drugs take you nowhere and leave you there.” (page 217)
(Pretty much sums it up! Avoid that crap. Live clean.) 😊

The stories about Elvis are quite interesting and I am glad that the book shows more than one perspective, however the writing style was not particularly to my liking. It seemed to not be organised at all and at times stories seemed to repeat themselves.

⭐⭐⭐½
I thought I would like this one more than I did. Interesting interviews at the end, but not one of my favorites. Had a negative tone in part 3. Overall was similar to Nash's Memphis Mafia book, but not as good imo.
A very sad focus on drugs at the end of the book, as usual 😭
