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.

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.

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!

I've read funnier quotes at a post-apocalypse planning meeting. I'd like to believe that as I get closer to 50 (not quite there yet--but soon) my sense of humor is growing more sophisticated. Why then a book filled with humor best appreciated by those with the most juvenile sense of humor? I don't know if the author's name really is Witte, but based upon this title, he should consider changing it to Hackneyed. After finishing this book, you won't be amused, only depressed.

I got this for my parents when they were turning 50. It seemed to be a hit, so I guess it was a good gift idea. Might have been a little cheesy, but they liked it so I guess that is all the matters.

I ordered this to give a friend at her 50th birthday party. Funny. Makes turning 50 a little less painful...maybe.

Cute gag gift. Purchased it for my mother's 50th birthday and she and her friends enjoyed passing it around.

Purchase of this book was for someone's 50th birthday as a gag gift and it did the job. I was pleased with the condition of the book and the timeliness in which it was shipped to me.
