Ninety-year-old Kirk Douglas makes another splendid foray into his life (THE RAGMAN'S SON, MY STROKE OF LUCK), and Jason Alexander excels in its narration. Alexander's voice is friendly and inclusive, and his speech patterns are well suited for Douglas's many remembrances. His Yiddish pronunciations are perfect, and he tells a Borscht-belt joke with panache. Douglas's writing is appealing and conversational, offering a series of personal anecdotes, letters, poetry he's written, and poetry by the masters. He expresses deep concern about the kind of world we're leaving our children and shares his hard-learned philosophy, reflecting on his mistakes, his successes, his joys, his griefs, and his treasured friends and family. Alexander transforms the iconic movie star into the decent, humane man fans never knew--'til now. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2008]
