A Funny Thing Happened to Me on My Way to the Grave by Jack Douglas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
As I re-read the Jack Douglas library in order for the first time, I see how Douglas produced his first books as a collection of avant-garde views. Douglas starts here, writing about his life, coalescing his writing skills as a cohesive narrative. His next books hone these skills to some wonderfully funny and poignant books.
In this autobiography Douglas again presents what he claims happens and that which he wraps in humor. His writing is a bit clunky, but his anecdotes get better throughout.
There are many references to Hollywood celebrities, but not as many as might be found in even a lesser known celebrity biography. Douglas keeps the name dropping to a minimum.
Bottom line: I recommend this book: 6 out of 10 points.
