If you don't like the idea of growing old - read this book, April 5 2012
By Damaskcat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Virginia Monologues (Hardcover)
I've always enjoyed Virginia Ironside's writing because it is realistic and witty. As I am approaching my sixth decade I thought this might be a good book to read to give me a different perspective on growing old since most people seem to dwell on the disadvantages. I was not disappointed. This is a relatively light hearted look at old age but it doesn't avoid the difficulties.Some of the big advantages of getting older which the author notes with barely suppressed glee are not bothering what people think of you, not being embarrassed by your own or anyone else's behaviour, being able to dress how you want including going to the shop in your nightie with a coat over it, not getting dressed all day if that's what you want, being alone and doing what you want to do when you want to do it and - above all - getting free prescription drugs and free travel.
If you're starting to think you might not like old age then read this book - it might make you realise that there are many advantages to being older including increased self confidence. If nothing else the book will make you laugh and consequently make you feel better about your age. Recommended for anyone who is approaching - or has reached - that all important birthday
5.0 out of 5 stars
What a wonderful and very funny book, Feb 16 2012
By R. Lesner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Virginia Monologues (Hardcover)
I think this book is great for all ages. It will make you feel understood and better about being older. It will also make you feel better when you think about getting older if you are just in that forty range. And for the super young crowd....I think you should read it so you RESPECT your elders. Happy Reading! Virginia Ironside is a very talented and humorous writer!
