Review

"[Geist] covers his subject with an acerbic wit that occasionally calls for a large dose of Maalox....Still, this is way funnier than 'Modern Maturity.'"

Publisher's note

Bill Geists hilarious book describes his personal struggle with the awful aging process and with the monumental milestone called the Big Five-Oh. From the trauma of receiving an application to join the AARP to the realization that he can't really see the menu, hear the waiter, or remember the specials, Geist catalogs the discontents, large and small, of those approaching and passing fifty. He lies about his age, shops for a Harley, buys an Ab-Roller, receives liposuction counseling, finds himself the oldest guy at a rock concert, catches himself paying attention to a Depends commercial, buys "relaxed fit" jeans, falls asleep at a party, wakes up from a nightmare about college tuition, and damn near buys a Cadillac!

A gleefully grumpy glimpse of what's in store on the long, strange trip across the Golden Years.
