Genre: Humor
Description:
A humorous looks at the issues with aging.
Author:
“Jass Richards has, surprisingly enough (or not), a Master’s degree in
Philosophy and for a (very) brief time was a stand-up comic (now she’s more of
a sprawled-on-the-couch comic). Despite these attributes, she has received four
Ontario Arts Council grants.”
She has several books written under this name as well as under a
couple pen names.
Appraisal:
I’ve been known to say that “getting old sucks, the only thing worse
is the alternative.” I wouldn’t have been surprised to see Jass Richards saying
the same, not only because this book looks at aging and the pain in the … well,
lots of body parts this causes, but does so in a humorous way that you old
people out there could relate to (yeah, I’m looking at you, the balding
grey-haired person reading this). This is a quick, fun read for you old people
who can relate. You kids (yeah, the 48 year old, I’m talking to you), might
still be amused, even though you won’t get some of it quite as well as those of
us with more life experience.

FYI:
Old people like me will be saying “language young lady, language” to
the author as they’re reading. (Yes, I use those fucking words too, don’t tell
on me.)
