Baby, Let's Play House: Elvis Presley and the Women Who Loved Him

A compilation of the many women of Elvis's life, none more important than his mother Gladys. The superstars of any field much less entertainment often deal with the plague of excess. The lesson being, be careful what you wish for, you may not be able to handle it. Elvis certainly was not.

From his inability to commit to a relationship to surrounding himself with those that fueled his eventual destruction. Elvis is a textbook case in the struggles of super fame and celebrity. His early success seemed to be his happiest time especially with his mother still alive. But even then you could see what was to come. Though he died young it was almost merciful as the level of desperation he was at was truly sad.

This is a tell all book that covers the span of Elvis' relationships both romantic and family oriented. It delves deep into the psychology of his relationship with his mother and the effects of losing his twin brother at birth. As an avid Elvis fan this was a must read. Most of the book was enjoyable although at times it gave an impression of Elvis not at his best. I do highly recommend it for any fan.
