great revelations as we grow older,
By jos8989898@aol.com (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Things I'm Not Going to Do Now That I'm over 50 (Hardcover)
This book is poignant, insightful and charming. Wendy Crisp has given me a humerous roadmap to direct me through my aging journey. I agree with her that after 50 we shouldnt have to " drink light beer, or share bathrooms or bank accounts." This book makes a wonderful birthday present. I have read it many times, and am now giving it to friends.

Too Limiting,
By hathaway40 (Richmond Heights, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Things I'm Not Going to Do Now That I'm over 50 (Hardcover)
I found much of this book to be too limiting. I believe that, at 50, we should have fewer limits -- not more. Examples from the book:

This review is from: 100 Things I'm Not Going to Do Now That I'm over 50 (Hardcover)
The book is a series of lightweight barbs and jabs at aging and women who attempt to grow old with passive submission. It was, for me, a waste of money. I thought it would be a self-help book, full of advice and direction. Instead, full-page cartoon-like drawings were edited with short, caustic comments aimed at aging and the aged. I found it hurtful, both to me and to my memories of my grandmothers and mother.

If I feel an overwhelming need to wear a halter top or a plunging neckline, I'll confine myself to the garden, where, as ancient fertility symbols, what breasts I may be fortunate enough to keep might productivity inspire a nonvisual species. Read the first page New!
