Kris Kristofferson was one of a kind - really. Graduate of Pomona and a Rhodes scholar, he gave up a military career to try his hand at songwriting. He struggled at first, then excelled - and became one of the most-recorded songwriters ever. And Hollywood came calling, seeing his easy air and good looks and cast him as a number of romantic leads. He bridged a number of different worlds, and did it with a kind of "aw shucks" modesty that endeared him to millions. Don't know if we will see his likes again. ]]> ReadStatus8435965956 Sun, 22 Sep 2024 03:15:24 -0700 <![CDATA[Jeffrey has read 'The Outsider: A Memoir']]> /review/show/6866893919 The Outsider by Jimmy Connors Jeffrey has read The Outsider: A Memoir by Jimmy Connors

The surety and confidence of Squeeze Play by Jeffrey Marshall wields a robust humor, presenting an honest view of people of casual privilege.

As the leader for the New York branch of a respectable London financier whose multi-million dollar loan to a slipping tabloid will soon default, Corbin van Sloot is charged with not loaning the extravagant Winston Crumm another dime; but another powerful financer slips his own agendas into the papers and banks, among other areas, threatening the worldly security of the wealthy.

A snappy and energetic narration presents the dog-eat-dog jungle of business � both pleasure and financial � in America and across the pond as the characters hilariously step on each other’s plans and comforts. Precisely apt descriptions of everything from scenery to personality traits distinguishes the author’s comfortable romp through intertwined lives.

Fortunes may turn for the main players, but readers will not be ripped off by the delightfully revealed scandals. � Review by Book Excellence ]]> Comment270951708 Sat, 27 Jan 2024 17:50:08 -0800 <![CDATA[Jeffrey commented on "What's The Last Movie You Watched?" in A Good Thriller]]> /topic/show/17931490-what-s-the-last-movie-you-watched Jeffrey made a comment in the A Good Thriller group:

LIke your review and especially your take on the Oscar predictions. Incidentally, I was a prep school student in the mid-60s at a school like this - it was one of those featured in the film settings. But I never had anyone as nasty as Hunham (good comic relief) nor saw any of the students as stupidly privileged as several of those featured in the early going. ]]> AuthorFollowing99431583 Sat, 27 Jan 2024 17:32:05 -0800 <![CDATA[<AuthorFollowing id=99431583 user_id=33455628 author_id=5433009>]]> Comment267833758 Mon, 13 Nov 2023 15:02:01 -0800 <![CDATA[Jeffrey commented on "What are you currently reading?" in Fringe Fiction Unlimited ]]> /topic/show/19684859-what-are-you-currently-reading Jeffrey made a comment in the Fringe Fiction Unlimited group:

Interesting... I have no knowledge of the books, which obviously colors a viewer's impressions. Still, I think the series is very well scripted and acted, especially by Ramon Martinez (Will). ]]> Rating644651929 Thu, 07 Sep 2023 16:01:56 -0700 <![CDATA[Jeffrey Marshall liked a review]]> /
