70 Scenes Of Halloween

Customer Reviews

Jeffrey M. Jones has a style all his own...

I got this after I got JP Morgan Saves The Nation (co-written by Jones and Jonathan Larson, who wrote the book music and lyrics for the musical Rent), and the style reminds me so much of JP Morgan. Jones has this fabulous way of slyly showing human nature through loveable, hateable and crazy characters. There's also someone ANYBODY can relate to. It's almost like a cross between F. Scott Fitzgerald and Stephen Sondheim, if you can imagine that. If not, pick up this :)
