5.0 out of 5 stars great revelations as we grow older
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Limiting
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:
"I'm not going to be honest about my age."
"I'm not going to show cleavage."
"I'm not going to engage in public displays of affection with my dog."
"I'm not going to...

2.0 out of 5 stars Wispy, July 5, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
