Come On Down To The Six Word Memoir

Posted by: Alan in Book Reviews, Books, Off-Topic, Short Takes

I have to confess that I have been a fan of The Price Is Right since a small child. I remember when there used to be "four numbers in the price of the car". (I feel SO old.) When I recently came across a copy of Come On Down! I knew immediately I would have to bring it home and write it up. Sad to Stan Blits is a better game show producer than he is a book author. Moderately to Very Interested fans of the show will appreciate the first third or so of the book when Blits shares information about the shows history and reveals some of the details of just how it is produced. The latter two thirds of the book come across as filler not worth the relatively high grade of paper its printed on. Not Recommended.

I’ve recently been tagged by bookcalendar with the Six Word Memoir meme. You can read the meme instructions here.

My Six Word Memoir:

Library Guy That Writes About Books

Since this is a writng meme I feel I have to tag Tiffany, Dawn, Jamie, Claire and Vienne.

Thanks again to bookcalendar for the tag.

Thanks for taking me up on the meme. Appreciate it. Remember to have an “attitude of gratitude” sometimes.
