Book Reviews of the Jean Shepherd: Security Blankets
Customer Review: Great to hear Shep, even with second-rate material
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a Jean Shepherd fan since my high school days in N.J., when he was at his radio prime out of New York City. This collection of Cd's captures his inimitable personality, his infectious laugh and his general sense of the absurd. Unfortunately, it has none of the semi-autobiographical reminiscence that made "A Christmas Story" such a popular favorite and which mark Shepard's most memorable work, at least for me. Perhaps this is only available in the printed form -- check out, for example, "A Fistful of Fig Newtons" A Fistful of Fig Newtons. But even second-rate Shepherd is worth the price! Technically, my only complaint -- which others have made as well -- is that the producers did not insert tracks, so that there's no way to go directly to favorite sections of these 45-minute programs.
