5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Guide to Becoming a Hot Granny, July 31, 2007

This review is from: Hot Granny: Fabulous at 50, 60 and Beyond! (Hardcover)

Hot Granny is a fun and funny view of issues aging women may face and and be able to accept graciously. Mel's writing is thoughtful as in her previous works. She has a way with words that is wonderful: witty, clear and wise. Her down-to-earth common sense and practicality are helpful. My 76 year old husband thinks it should be required reading for all Hot Grannies and their partners. It is a perfect gift!
This book reflects her warmth and humor as a wife, mother and grandmother. I am happy to be amongst her Sister Listers, a classmate, friend and admirer!

5.0 out of 5 stars To Be a Hot Granny, Learn from One, January 25, 2008

By 

Hawley Roddick "Author and memoir co-author" (San Juan Islands, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hot Granny: Fabulous at 50, 60 and Beyond! (Hardcover)

It is obvious in this delightful, original book that author Mel Walsh is an expert on both aspects of her title: "hot" and "granny". If you are a granny, hot or not, this book is for you. If you are a grandpa and want a hot granny in your life, this book may bring you closer to that goal. And if there is a granny anywhere in your life, what more flattering gift? While this isn't exactly a how-to-be-hot book, astute readers will pick up a lot of great tips. And every reader should have fun.

This delightfully written book is for any older woman, granny or not. An easy read, it comes chock full of practical ideas and absolutely delicious humor. As a therapist working with women of all ages, I find this wise book to be based on psychologically solid advice. A perfect gift.
