Format:Hardcover
I bought this for my parents although, ironically, the print is rather small and I'm concerned that they may struggle with it! I started browsing through it myself and was hooked. The book is a complete hotchpotch of ideas and styles. There are quotes from politicians, writers, comedians and actors. One-liners, jokes, anecdotes and more serious advice. There is no over-riding structure, it just seems to ramble on in whichever direction feels good at the time.
It only took a couple of hours to read, so is not great value for money. Some of the advice comes across as a little obvious or patronising and feels a little out of place in what I took to be a humorous coffee table/bathroom book. There are a lot of well-known quotes in here which may again make you feel that you've wasted your money. It seems that the writer has a particular liking for certain comedians as well who are quoted bizarrely often.
Overall though it does take a light-hearted look at the effects of ageing (which it assumes occur in those turning 40, not just over retirement age). So not a bad little stocking filler.

Shelly`s book is essential reading for anyone who has trailed aound the house looking for lost keys or come downstairs for something, having to go back upstairs to remember what it was! A funny book full of helpful hints to survive the mid and later life crisises.

Written with people with a good sense of humour for people with not such a good sense of humour! I thought that I was the only one suffering from "senior moments". It's good to know that I am not. Highly recommended!

An excellent 'coffee table' book, and was ideal as a present for a friend who had reached his 60th birthday.

I loved it. Made me laugh out loud. I hope the friend that I bought it for as a gift will do the same.

Very funny and scarily true. You can remember the last time this happened to you and are comforted by the fact that it has also happened to others. Read more
