Product Description
Dazed by grief over the sudden death of her famous father, the young girl is whisked from her life in America to the obscurity of a comfortable exile in Scandinavia. It is for her own safety that she must assume a new identity until she comes of age to take her rightful place as the sole heir of a huge estate. I, Lisa Marie is the intimate and personal account of a young woman's quest to reclaim her name and heritage, while being blocked at every turn. For years, mystery surrounded Elvis Presley's young daughter and sole heir-who seemed to disappear from public view following the famous singer's death. Then gradually, pictures began to appear of a young woman claiming to be Lisa Marie. Her questionable antics, and a circus-like marriage to controversial entertainment legend and paparazzi favorite, Michael Jackson, led millions of loyal fans of the late Elvis to question that this person could be his real daughter. Finally, for the first time in her own words, the truth is revealed in this story of the strange odyssey of the real Lisa Marie. She shares the poignant memories of her early childhood years as the center of her famous father's affection. In this book, Lisa Marie answers many of the vexing questions that have troubled Elvis fans for years. She candidly faces the rumors that Elvis is still alive, and that the famed music icon actually fathered other children, offspring who would be her siblings. The real Lisa Marie wants only a simple outcome, and the chance to introduce herself and her children to what is left of the circle of friends and family and the millions of devoted Elvis Presley Fans. ...

Rip Off
Buyer Beware:

This book is NOT written by Lisa Marie Presley. It's a rip-off!

Cindy

This book was awesome
I only saw this book offered once for sale. It was in a full-page ad in a tabloid during 1998. I was heartbroken I didn't have the money to purchase the book back then, and I finally obtained it recently -- thanks to Amazon.com. It is an easy read - a book you simply cannot put down.

I don't understand why people are so disbelieving about this young woman and her plight to be reinstated back into her own family. With Elvis' vast wealth, how is it not even remotely possible that Lisa Marie was transported to Sweden?Elvis had withstood all sorts of threats, and no doubt, he received many threats with regard to the potential kidnapping and harming of his beloved daughter. Of course he would wish to tuck her away, out of sight, in order to keep her from danger. It doesn't sound very far-fetched to me.

Lisa Johansen knows way too much, in terms of tiny, minute details, for her book not to be based upon fact. While everybody is entitled to their own opinions, I cannot imagine anybody would go to such lengths to want to go to the bother of writing such a book, let alone being able to compile such a manuscript.

I HIGHLY recommend this book and I have Amazon.com to thank.

complete bewilderment
i am a serious elvis fan read most of the books elvis but this one is upsetting to a fan i will not except that there is any truth in this book and cannot understand where this girl is comimg from

This book is crap
Its amazing the nutjobs out their as this author is. The fbi arrested her can't really remember the exact charges but I assume it was for identity theft or something similar. Just look at this mental case's website (I think by now it has been taken down) but the person that you see in that website looks nothing like Elvis Presley or Priscilla Presley, just has a nutty tale that is so out there how on earth could it be true?? Maybe Lisa Johansen should get together with that doctor that claimed in 2003 that he was treating Elvis, saying he was alive and living in Missouri. That doctor was also arrested for fraud. This book isnt worth the paper its printed on don't be fooled ... Read more

Product Description
Biographical profile of Elvis Aaron Presley. Presley is the highest-paid dead celebrity, generating $49 million in 2007 from the sale, licensing and distribution of his trademark, image, and music catalogue, and from tours of Graceland, one of American’s most famous historic homes. Yet the King has been dead for more than 30 years! Long live the King! Elvis is an iconic American fixture; other than one impromptu show in Paris while he was on leave from the Army, he never performed outside of North America. Yet his name, not to mention his music and likeness, is better known worldwide than most o ftoday’s most well-known performers and political leaders. “He was called the “King of Rock and Roll” or simply “the King.” Award-winning author and syndicated columnist Daniel Alef, who has written more than 300 biographical profiles of America’s greatest tycoons, brings out the story of Presley and his remarkable life of ups, downs and achievements.

Product Description
This book is the defintive story of what has happened to the estate Elvis left behind, the abysmal condition it was in, how it came to grow into a huge success, and how it works tirelessly to promote the Elvis image and defend its control of that image. As Lisa Marie's massive inheritance approaches, everyone wants to know what really goes on behind the closed doors at Elvis, Inc. Photos.Amazon.com Review
Just as the King of Rock n' Roll will never really die, sowill his financial empire continue to fascinate. Part way between abiography of the musical icon and a business book, Elvis Inc.recounts the fiscal rise of the legend and details the problems andpossibilities that later developed with the massive estate he leftbehind. Penned with the sensitivity of a fan and the perception of abusiness writer, Sean O'Neal recounts how Presley's fortunes crashedand burned and then were resurrected to previously unimagined heights-- even after the King had abdicated his position in the materialworld. ...

The Elvis Empire uncovered
ELVIS INC. is one-stop shoppingfor anything to do with Elvis and money. All but the first chapter deal with events after Elvis' death. Especially good are the sections on the estate's lawsuit against manager Parker in the early 1980s, and on the stratospheric rise of Graceland afternear-bankruptcy in the two yearsafter Elvis died. There is more detail inthis book on these subjects than I have seen anywhere else. Toward the endI did feel that the book loses a little focus, and is not quite aspertinent asthe first half. As, O'Neal goes off on sometangents, suchas the marriage of Lisa Marie to Michael Jackson. To be fair, though, morerecentevents are just not as salient.But O'Neal keeps it alwaysinteresting. And I love that pink cover - groovy, man!

Interesting, Informative and a real Eye-opener of EPE
As an Elvis fan, I have read a great number of books about Elvis and his life.What makes this book stand out from the others is the fact that the reader gets a good look at how Elvis Presley, the person has grown intoElvis Presley Enterprises, the money-maker.It is well known by now thatColonel Tom Parker hindered Elvis' career in many ways.Even though hehelped Elvis make it to the top, Elvis had the sheer talent to make it withor without Parker.In this book, it is revealed how much Parker actuallytook from Elvis in the monetary sense.When Elvis died, his estate wasnearly bankrupt due to his lavish spending and poor management of hismoney.But as you realize when you read this book, Elvis PresleyEnterprises has gone to great lengths to make it the money machine it istoday.O'Neal gives details on lawsuits EPE has won and lost and tells youof some of the future plans EPE has in store.There is also a chapter onElvis' only heir, Lisa Marie and there is a detailed account of herinheritance as well as the "relationship" with Michael Jackson. I would recommend this book to anyone, Elvis fan or not.Every page hadsomething interesting and new and I found it hard to put down.

Terrific!
Elvis fans, buy this book.You fill find out just what a business Elvis really was (before and after death) to people like Priscilla and Parker to name a few.Terrific book! ... Read more
