Is Elvis Alive? Losing Graceland Book Review

For the life of me, I cannot explain exactly why I read Losing Graceland: A Novel. I know why I picked it up -- because it is a fictional story about what Elvis might be like if he had faked his death and was still alive and because I have always been interested in Elvis Presley -- but otherwise, there was some content in this book that I was not comfortable with. That's your warning. This book has sexual content that might make you uncomfortable. It did me. And did I mention violence? There is a bit of that, too.

But still, I read it right through to the end. There was something compelling me to keep reading, wanting to know what would happen to the aging Elvis impersonator (who might really be Elvis) and the young man he hired to help him find his granddaughter. The adventures were entertaining -- along the road they fight with biker gangs (and befriend them), visit an oracle and save a hooker from her pimp -- and at first glance, this book is a light read but it also deals with two interesting lives -- that of an old man whose body is unwell, who has an addiction to pain killers and who lives with an incredible legacy and that of a young man who is heart broken and unemployed.
