4.0 out of 5 stars
asks the questions you ask yourself
As Doug approaches 50, questions begin to surface in his life. The most poignant question is whether or not he has done/is doing his best in different parts of his life .. the story of a person refinding himself amidst his past, present and future. Well-written, funny and serious.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Man approaches 50, frets interminably about it, who cares?
Keep turning the pages, you think, it might get better, there might somewhere be one original scene, thought or character, some insight about that big number that eventually looms up for all of us who live long enough. But forget it, not this time, not here, as divorced Doug frets endlessly -- about his ex-wife remarrying, about his children, about his sports writing...

I will recommend this book to anyone who wants a fast-moving, fairly light read about a man's misery and subsequent re-birth. The questions asked here are faced by lots of people, and the reader is amusingly pulled in as he tries to figure out how this guy will resolve his crisis. Give it a chance!

Keep turning the pages, you think, it might get better, there might somewhere be one original scene, thought or character, some insight about that big number that eventually looms up for all of us who live long enough. But forget it, not this time, not here, as divorced Doug frets endlessly -- about his ex-wife remarrying, about his children, about his sports writing job under the new management of the sports daily where he works, about his sex life, about his incompatibility with anyone else's musical tastes, about his aging parents. Ho hum, I'm 50 and I need my sleep. This one won't keep me from it.
