In this sequel to Barris's 1984 (re-released in 2003) sleeper, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, the TV producer best known for his role as the wacky host of The Gong Show picks up where he left off. The misanthropic Barris can't seem to catch a break. The literary world won't accept him, the TV world has had enough, the press crucifies him for bringing TV into the gutter—and the CIA won't let him walk away from his side gig. Globetrotting at the behest of a new CIA contact, Barris continues his assassination work, this time with aplomb, quietly eliminating enemies ranging from a Mexican assassin to a Mideastern terrorist, and he finds a new love. Still, unlike Confessions, which offered a hilarious, at times unflinchingly personal examination of Barris's controversial TV career, his second attempt at "memoir" is in fact little more than a spy "novel." Luckily, Barris isn't a bad novelist. In fact, he is an accomplished, entertainin
Good killers are hard to find. But the CIA has no trouble finding the legendary TV producer and game show king Chuck Barris. In Bad Grass Never Dies, Barris picks up the fast-paced intrigue in Hollywood, where his emotional life lies in ruins, his career careens out of control, and he can't get a break anyplace he turns. Then one day a high-ranking CIA boss appears unannounced on Barris' doorstep. The CIA needs the cooperation of a Mexican terrorist, and Barris is ordered to recruit the killer as a paid assassin. Complicating matters is the fact that this same assassin is responsible for the death of two of Barris' fellow operatives. What's to prevent him from facing the same fate on arrival in Mexico? Barris' beguiling humor and a crack-shot taxi driver hold the answer. The stakes continue to build in this eagerly awaited sequel from the author who dazzled and amused readers—and later movie audiences—with the publication of his first book of memoirs, Confessions of a Dange
Along with the monotony of being home with a newborn there was also those moments when those special little people in our lives fill us wth such love, joy, and pride that those endless days and nights of sleep deprivation pale in comparison. This guy is clearly anti-union and is hung up on "Godfather"-type transactions. Great introduction to classic literature.. I developed a love/hate relationship with the main character, Mara. Angell has studied his subjects at great length and his renderings are splendid.. Thanks for the great service.. While Management by Objective is no longer a fashionable phrase, it is a valuable tool in the managment arsenal. I evaluated three series of abridged/paraphrased classics: Great Illustrated Classics, Stepping Stones, and Classic Starts. Aoe reluctantly rescues poor Naoya from an incredibly tragic life and the romance begins.
Don't be like me and miss out on a wonderfully entertaining story just because you "judged a book by it's cover"!. O
