Description:
“Mike Lewis
wants 'out'. Out of his meaningless career, his shallow relationships, the big
city rat race. On a whim, he signs a contract for a house in an idyllic
retirement community in Florida that promises a peaceful life of golf and
hobbies. Only later does he read the small print: he has to be over 60 to join
the enclave. Trouble is, he's only 39. Welcome to the start of a whole new
life...”
Appraisal:
All you
have to do is read the book description and it should be obvious that the
premise of this book is one ripe with comedic potential. That the twist is the
opposite of the norm, most people would rather pass themselves off as being
younger, not older, adds to the humor of the situation. A quick, light-hearted
read that tickled my funny bone.
Format/Typo Issues:
No
significant issues.
Rating: **** Four stars
