4.0 out of 5 stars
More like other mothers only more so, October 27, 2006
This review is from: The Jewish Mothers' Hall of Fame (Paperback)
Bernstein appears to like the Hollywood entertainment types, and so the mothers he choses for his little interviews and stories are the mothers of Spielberg, Bob Dylan, Gene Simmons, and another twenty or so other 'stars'. In his introduction Bernstein makes the claims that Jewish mothers are like all other mothers but only more so, that is in the caring, worrying, pushing end of things. It was interesting to hear the mother of Bob Dylan stand up for him and for whatever turn he happened to take, religious-wise, or any other wise.
This stuff especially consider the great weight of most of the personalities included is 'fluff' but it is pleasant fluff. It is also nice that Bernstein has a chapter on his own mother who he pays tribute to.
