I really enjoyed this and I knew I would, it just took me a while to get used to the writing style but when I did, I raced through it.

This is one hell of an adventure!

Watching Saba grow as a person was interesting. Jack, the cheeky chap, was fun and I loved his interactions with Saba and their fledgling romance--nawww!!

I now need book 2, Rebel Heart, to see how they meet again and to get answers about who DeMalo is, and why he helped.

Hamilton Leithauser recommended Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley in Books (curated)

"I’m currently reading Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley by Peter Guralnick. Young Elvis lived in a non-wealthy section of non-wealthy Tupelo, MS and Memphis, TN, and liked to wear a lot of pink, which was unusual in either place. He was kind of a rebel without a cause, but then he found his calling, and the success story is pretty entertaining. His junior prom picture shows a young girl with what looks like a cardboard cutout of the King…he’s just already totally there, and he’s like 16."
