5.0 out of 5 stars A funny and insightful book!, October 30, 1999

Lawrence Levy - See all my reviews

This review is from: What You Don't Know About Turning 50 (Paperback)

This is an absolutely delightful book! It is full of wonderful and ironic humor which is both hysterically funny and insightful. The honesty and wisdom of Mr. Witte's observations (posed as a "birthday quiz") are oddly comforting to those of us who are near to either side of "F-Day"(Fifty!). I hope Mr. Witte continues to write in this vein. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turning 50 won't be so bad, November 23, 1999

J Petruzzi (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: What You Don't Know About Turning 50 (Paperback)

Any true baby boomer will get a kick out of this book for its humor and quotability. Even those of us who haven't hit the big 5-0 have begun to say "You know, 50 ain't that old." This book makes it easier to accept what is now barely middle age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh OutLoud Funny, January 29, 2000

B. T. Anderson (Portland, Oregon, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: What You Don't Know About Turning 50 (Paperback)

Not only is this book "laugh outloud funny," it is the perfect "stocking stuffer" gift for all of my baby-boomer friends who turn the big 5-0 this year!
