Rating:  - very moving, touching story with memorable characters
I did not want this book to end! I felt I was there with them, wanting these people to succeed, witnessing miracles happen even if they were small. I felt like I knew George and Clara, understood them and would've liked to have known them. I will not look at older folks the same way again. I am passing this wonderful book around to all my friends and hope they too will see what we all take for granted. I cried as I finished this book (not a normal reaction for me) because it was ending, happy for the survivors and missing the ones gone on around.
Rating: - An Outstanding Choice for Book Clubs! Bravo.
This amazing novel is rich in so many ways! I laughed and cried. It will steal your heart, take your breath away. Peopled with characters so real and wonderful you'll want them to show up on your porch for tea, this is the story of six incredible strangers who come together in a tumble-down mansion in a tiny town and attempt to avoid winding up in a nursing home by living TOGETHER and by turning their final years into a grand adventure. This book will make you want to get up and sing, dance, shout out the window that life can be grand right down to the very end. Although the novel deals with issues we will all have to face sooner or later (death & dying, aging), Mr. Kleiner handles the subject matter with humor and love and compassion. The novel reminded me of a wild combination of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, Cocoon, Driving Miss Daisy, Waking Ned Divine, and Field of Dreams. The movie version would be gorgeous.
Our book group's favorite novel of the year! Everyone should read this incredible story...then spread the word to anyone who might one day be old! This novel will change the way you view life. Read it, NOW!
Rating: - A timely portrayal of old-age activism
I enjoyed Gregg Kleiner's lively writing style, and I applaud his novel approach to solving the problem of our society's lack of adequate care for the elderly. I think the book is very much in the activist tradition (and style) of Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Edward Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang. Hopefully the book will reach a wider audience and inspire the aging baby boomers to work together to solve the problems of being old as they worked together to end the Vietnam war and change the world.
Rating: - A touching different kind of love story. Laugh out loud fun!
I was afraid I wasn't going to like this book but after about 50 pages, I couldn't put it down. The book speaks of love of nature and others. I found myself laughing out loud on a plane and wanting to tell all to read this book.
Rating:  - Silly!
This story is preposterous. I enjoyed Mr. Kleiner's writing and this is a fair first effort, but the story is totally outrageous and unbelievable to the point of not being fun or funny. It's obvious that the author is very young indeed.
