 We Remember Elvis Mar 29, 2008
It was an excellent account of the author and Elvis. Not well written as some books are. Not as easy to comprehend.

 We Remember, Elvis Mar 03, 2008
I do not recommend this book to serious Elvis fans. Some of the stories seem to be fabricated from what is generally known about Elvis. Wanda Hill and many of the others who contributed to the book gloss over way too many facts about Elvis's life and end up distorting the truth. There are so many contradictions and inconsistencies. Some of the stories are believeable, but most seem exaggerated or idealized.

A Lot Of BS Feb 02, 2008
I purchased this book after reading all of the rave reviews on it. Man was I dissapointed. I found out recently that all the possitive reviews came from Wandas friends and buddies who are trying to help her sell the book.When I got to the phone calls making out he supposedly did with 15 and 16 year old girls,that was too much.She has him panting after everything in skirts on one hand then he's soo spiritual on the other reading the bible and getting into eastern mysticism, I know he was doing some studying on a lot of different beliefs and myths ,more or less tryin to find answers.He doesn't know how to make love to women so he has to go to blond actress aka. Monroe prob. she nevers gives names, to show him how,duhhh. any facts here comes from exerpts from other people's books and what is public knowedge and records. I my oppionion this is mostly fabrication. If you want to read somethign possitive about Elvis try Larry Geller's 1st book, 2nd one Leaves of Elvis is ok but a repeat of the 1st with a lot of his own religion thrown in, which got a bit boring.Where is Wanda's book that I just puchased ? ,uhhh, in the trash, wouldn't give it to anyone I know to read.This is one reviewer that has no connections to the writer.

 Wanda Knows Elvis, and Lets You Know Him Too! Jan 24, 2008
I have been studying Elvis for 37 years and have read a lot of books about him. Wanda June Hill's first-hand account answers the questions that nagged me for decades that I could not find anywhere. She, in her warm and intimate style, lets the reader know just what it was like to be near Elvis, and what he thought on occasion, and how he said it. The window in, is priceless....It is a magical read that sits you down right next to him and her, as she talks with Elvis. You can almost smell his cologne...feel his touch... I laughed, I cried, It will remain a most treasured book of mine for the rest of my life.

For The Truth About Elvis Read This Book!!!!!!! Nov 08, 2007
I was never an Elvis fan, but always admired him. I recently had a vivid dream about him and started to re-discover this wonderful human man again. I was so dicouraged with the info I was finding until I found Mrs. Hill's book. I thought it would be a good book to take on my upcoming trip to Hawaii so I had the book sent by expidited shipping. Oh my goodness! What a beautiful job Mrs. Hill did writing this book. She awestruck me with sharing her knowledge of this extraordinary man.
With all the other books I had been reading I had been feeling so sorry for Elvis because of what the parasites he surrounded himself with were saying about him. Wanda June Hill finally made me feel better with her honesty and first hand accounts with her friend named Elvis Presley. Thank God she knew him and chose to share what she knows about this lovely human man because she took all the confusion I felt and as if she was personally answering all my questions, put my mind at rest.
I now feel that I know the REAL Elvis because of her. To anyone wondering whether to purchase this book or not, have no qualms about it. Throw out all the books filled with lies, inuendos and jealously that you now own and replace them all with this one, wonderful book.
Mrs. Hill, I want to thank you heart and soul for writing this book. The style in which you write makes me feel as though I am sitting at your kitchen table with you having coffee and you are telling me personally about Elvis. Even though I have never even met you, I feel as though I have known you for years because of the easy way you convey your words. I devoured this book and pray that you will also write more about our beloved Elvis. This book will go into a very special spot on my bookshelf. Thank you ever so much for this wonderful gift you have written for all of us who have a desire to know the "REAL" Elvis.
Warmest Regards,
Laura From Boston, MA
