Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley by Peter Guralnick

3.0

I started reading this book when I was trapped inside a Spirit Airline airplane. I thought that a little bit of the king of rock n roll would distract my cramped body and sore behind. Peter Guralnick is clearly a music fan and analyses all of Elvis' recordings. I was more interested in Presley's life story. Guarlnick gives a lot of detail about that as well but I definitely got the feeling that the music was Guralnick's main interest.

The author is surprisingly supportive to Colonel Parker. This is the first book I've read that portrays him positively. There is a lot of interesting information about Elvis' time in the army.
