1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,693
Speaker 1: from newstalk ZEDB.

3
00:00:13,093 --> 00:00:15,413
Speaker 2: Sweet it's well one news talks. He'd be Katherine Raines

4
00:00:15,453 --> 00:00:19,693
Speaker 2: has picked two cracking books for this weekend. Hey Catherine,

5
00:00:20,693 --> 00:00:24,533
Speaker 2: Oh hang on again, Hey Catherine, mind Jack. Sorry, I've

6
00:00:24,573 --> 00:00:28,173
Speaker 2: got a press a button sometimes and it's very complicated. Okay.

7
00:00:28,213 --> 00:00:30,853
Speaker 2: So first book this morning, from Here to the Great Unknown,

8
00:00:30,853 --> 00:00:33,293
Speaker 2: by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Cole.

9
00:00:34,253 --> 00:00:37,093
Speaker 3: So Lessa Marie had been working on this memo for years,

10
00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:40,493
Speaker 3: luminating his story on audiotapes, but of course died before

11
00:00:40,533 --> 00:00:44,093
Speaker 3: she finished it. But she'd asked Riley, her daughter, to

12
00:00:44,173 --> 00:00:46,893
Speaker 3: help her write the book, and so after her mother's death,

13
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:49,733
Speaker 3: she completed this memoir by and she fills in the

14
00:00:49,773 --> 00:00:52,133
Speaker 3: gaps and comments on her mother's thoughts, and so she

15
00:00:52,173 --> 00:00:57,413
Speaker 3: gives us this really good story of Elvis's father told

16
00:00:57,413 --> 00:00:59,693
Speaker 3: by Lisa Marie, and account of Lisa Marie's life in

17
00:00:59,733 --> 00:01:01,973
Speaker 3: her own words and what she was like as a

18
00:01:02,013 --> 00:01:04,493
Speaker 3: mother and a grandmother as told by Riley. So it's

19
00:01:04,613 --> 00:01:07,813
Speaker 3: laid out that as I said, Lisa Marie tells her

20
00:01:07,853 --> 00:01:10,053
Speaker 3: story and then Riley adds her perspective to it. And

21
00:01:10,093 --> 00:01:12,653
Speaker 3: she was the eldest child of Lisa Marie and so

22
00:01:12,733 --> 00:01:15,293
Speaker 3: she was witnessed her to a lot and her viewpoints

23
00:01:15,613 --> 00:01:17,853
Speaker 3: really add a lot to the story. And so it

24
00:01:17,933 --> 00:01:21,493
Speaker 3: starts with Lisa Marie's early years in bracetand with Elvis,

25
00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:23,933
Speaker 3: and she recounts how much she adored living with her

26
00:01:23,973 --> 00:01:27,573
Speaker 3: father and the moments when she made him laugh, and

27
00:01:27,613 --> 00:01:30,653
Speaker 3: then after his death feeling really displaced and ending up

28
00:01:30,693 --> 00:01:33,573
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles and living with her mum, Priscilla, and

29
00:01:33,733 --> 00:01:36,613
Speaker 3: her real rebellion during those years, moving from school to school.

30
00:01:36,693 --> 00:01:39,373
Speaker 3: It is a really recurring theme, and she struggles with addiction,

31
00:01:39,893 --> 00:01:42,693
Speaker 3: and he gets stories about Michael Jackson and Nicholas Cage

32
00:01:42,733 --> 00:01:46,173
Speaker 3: and a really heartbreaking part of the story is when

33
00:01:46,173 --> 00:01:49,893
Speaker 3: she talks about the suicide of Riley's brother Benjamin, and

34
00:01:50,053 --> 00:01:52,453
Speaker 3: you know, she had been drinking herself to death worrying

35
00:01:52,493 --> 00:01:56,373
Speaker 3: about his son, and he'd felt responsible for his spiraling

36
00:01:56,373 --> 00:01:59,333
Speaker 3: and drug addicted mother. And the whole story that Riley

37
00:01:59,373 --> 00:02:01,173
Speaker 3: tells through this and she brings it. She has an

38
00:02:01,213 --> 00:02:03,013
Speaker 3: excellent job of bringing her mum to life and all

39
00:02:03,053 --> 00:02:06,213
Speaker 3: his flaws, you know, and what she was like as

40
00:02:06,213 --> 00:02:09,893
Speaker 3: a mum, and this family centered about love, and you know,

41
00:02:09,973 --> 00:02:12,813
Speaker 3: it talks all about all of these things in her

42
00:02:12,853 --> 00:02:15,333
Speaker 3: first husband, who she met as a teenager. And I

43
00:02:15,373 --> 00:02:18,173
Speaker 3: really feel like it's this quite wore an unstorted account

44
00:02:18,173 --> 00:02:21,573
Speaker 3: of Lisa Marie's life, and it's a really tragic and

45
00:02:21,853 --> 00:02:22,813
Speaker 3: heartbreaking tale.

46
00:02:23,013 --> 00:02:25,973
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah it does sound it sounds really sad,

47
00:02:26,053 --> 00:02:28,613
Speaker 2: but yeah, fascinating on the list. So that's from Here

48
00:02:28,613 --> 00:02:30,773
Speaker 2: to the Great unknine by Lisa Marie Presley and Rudy

49
00:02:30,813 --> 00:02:33,213
Speaker 2: co Next up, I know a lot of people be

50
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:35,493
Speaker 2: very excited about this. They probably already pre ordered it

51
00:02:35,493 --> 00:02:38,653
Speaker 2: in time for Christmas. In Too Deep by Lee Child

52
00:02:38,733 --> 00:02:40,813
Speaker 2: and Andrew Child.

53
00:02:40,453 --> 00:02:42,213
Speaker 3: So believe it or not, this is actually the twenty

54
00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:46,493
Speaker 3: ninth book in the Jack Reacher series. And yeah, the

55
00:02:46,893 --> 00:02:50,893
Speaker 3: action from the start. So Jack Reacher wakes up alone

56
00:02:51,173 --> 00:02:54,013
Speaker 3: and handcuffed in the dark in a place he doesn't know,

57
00:02:54,773 --> 00:02:57,373
Speaker 3: and he has a serious arm injury, and he has

58
00:02:57,413 --> 00:03:00,413
Speaker 3: no clue how he got there, and his memory is

59
00:03:00,453 --> 00:03:03,973
Speaker 3: incredibly foggy, but he just knows that the surroundings the

60
00:03:04,053 --> 00:03:07,253
Speaker 3: hostile and the last thing he remember members is hitching

61
00:03:07,293 --> 00:03:09,853
Speaker 3: a ride with someone and they will run off the road.

62
00:03:09,933 --> 00:03:13,333
Speaker 3: Otherwise nothing and we're in the action right from the

63
00:03:13,373 --> 00:03:16,373
Speaker 3: start as he's fighting to survive, and he has short

64
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:19,093
Speaker 3: term memory loss which really doesn't help him work out

65
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:21,773
Speaker 3: what's going on in the story and the characters around

66
00:03:21,813 --> 00:03:24,533
Speaker 3: him and who's a villain and who's not, and you know,

67
00:03:24,533 --> 00:03:26,613
Speaker 3: who's telling the truth and who might not be. And

68
00:03:26,653 --> 00:03:29,533
Speaker 3: so it's classic check creature, you know, lots of observations

69
00:03:29,613 --> 00:03:32,893
Speaker 3: and confrontations and great tactics and piercing to get it.

70
00:03:32,973 --> 00:03:34,613
Speaker 3: The mystery of why he's been taken on, what he's

71
00:03:34,613 --> 00:03:37,733
Speaker 3: got himself into, and so those layers of confusion and

72
00:03:37,773 --> 00:03:40,933
Speaker 3: mistrust around and so without spawning any more of the plot,

73
00:03:41,053 --> 00:03:44,773
Speaker 3: there's a great cast of supporting characters and some excellent villains,

74
00:03:44,853 --> 00:03:47,733
Speaker 3: and packed with action and suspense as you would expect

75
00:03:48,053 --> 00:03:49,253
Speaker 3: from a Jack Reacher novel.

76
00:03:49,493 --> 00:03:52,693
