Elvis and His Blue Suede Shoes

Dead Famous

by Michael Cox

Everybody's heard of Elvis Presley. He is horribly famous for being the King of Rock 'n' Roll, having trouble fitting into his spangly white jumpsuits and causing a riot with a wiggle of his pelvis. But not everyone knows that Elvis escaped from tornadoes by hiding in a cave, flew halfway across America for 22 giant sandwiches and had a tooth stuck in his lung...Everything you ever wanted to know about the man with the pelvis.

I picked this up second-hand last year on holiday in Cornwall - although it's aimed at young adults I enjoyed learning about the life and times of Elvis in this light-hearted fashion and learned a lot!

Entertaining but didn't seem to have quite as much info as some of the series.

The DEAD FAMOUS WRITERS book was more enjoyable.

A truly great read. Very informative and hard to put down. A must read for anyone. Even non Elvis fans.

I learned that Elvis visited the president.
Kind of a boring book.
Took a while to read.
