well written book and will read by Jeremy Paxton. However, one gets a feeling that he is holding back. If pressed by an editor I am positive that he would have had far more juicy anecdotes about celebrities and such. Reflections are somewhat shallow throughout the book and we don’t get a lot closer to really knowing who the person is. The book gets downright shocking when he spends only one sentence on political correctness. He flippantly says that we are politically correct because we don’t want to offend anybody. Really? Is that as profound as it gets. The book gets downright shocking when he spends only one sentence on political correctness.
