About the book:
In a world that
is constantly changing, there is one thing that remains constant – the power of
laughter. Since we can’t stop all the changes that keep happening to our bodies
and our world as we live life on the north side of fifty, we can still laugh
and learn from them. So if you love recalling the fun and simplicity of
yesteryear, if you enjoyed other humor books about “middle age” by Martha
Bolton, then you’ll love The Whole World is Changing…and I’m Too Hot to Care.
You’ll laugh, you might even cry, and even though you still won’t be able to
stop the world or your body from changing, after reading this light-hearted
take on aging and life, the changes might not bother you as much.
My review:
This is a humorous
look at life after 50.
The first half of
the book was chock-full of humor and the problems of being over 50-years-old.
At times it felt like the humor was being overdone during this portion of the
book.
Near the end of
each part of the book there is an interview with someone else that is connected
with comedy work in some way. Each one of them was asked the same set of
questions. I enjoyed reading what each of these individuals said.
Then the later
portion of the book was focusing on sharing some practical suggestions to
living life well after the age of 50. There was very little humor in this part.
I feel that it would have been an easier book to read through if there had been
more of a balance between the humor and the practical suggestions throughout
the entire book.
