review 1: The following is a Firstreads Winner review:Elvis has left the building. And is now taking a road trip with a college student as his driver. Searching for his illegitimate granddaughter, who according to the tabloids has been kidnapped. A strange journey filled with some good humor this is an entertaining read. Is the old man in the story really Elvis? Well that seems to be the proverbial $20 question. I liked the book as it was an unusual piece of fiction that defied gravity and could not find space on any of my usual shelves. A short read that is sure to get some real Elvis fans a bit upset to see this fat old man that claims to be the real Elvis.
review 2: This book is a great read. Very nice flow and tempo. The characters are very well developed with plenty... more of strengths, weaknesses and personality. A wonderful book to keep with you to get in a chapter or two. I would recommend this as a weekend/beach book cause its an engaging book that becomes a quick read.Within the pages is a little bit of everything that is classic America with road trips, first loves, biker gangs, union strikes, and Elvis impersonators.It all starts out when a young college student answers a newspaper ad for a drug free, no record driver. Ben doesn't want to work in the mall, or see his current ex-girlfriend so he goes to the address. Ben then begins is road work as the driver for a gentleman trying to locate his granddaughter. The twist is the man looks like he trying to Elvis and thinks he is the King.The partnership begins a road trip of self discovery, resolve, true friendship and lost souls mixed with several colorful characters along the way. less
