Boring!

Written by Lori on September 11th, 2008

I listened/suffered through this whole thing. Kept thinking something interesting would come up. The Author even reads it like she is bored with what happened in her life.

I found it rather annoying. Some of it was funny mostly slamming herself.

Frivolous most of the time but also funny and occasionally touching. A quick light read that hits home for middle aged and older women, but probably wouldn't be relevant for younger people.

I fee bad that my mortgage isn't subsidized

Written by Catherine Copeland on December 21st, 2007

  • Book Rating: 3/5

Nora feels bad about her neck, bad about her purse, she feels bad about Bill Clinton, she feels bad that JFK didn't have an affair with her, and bad about losing her rent subsidized apartment. Not being from New York I didn't realize that one could be Cyndi Lauper and pay only $900 for a fashionable apartment downtown until I actually googled Nora's apartment building. Nice building but why should she feel cheated when she lost the subsidy? I caught a few minutes of her on Oprah speaking about getting old and I thought well I will check out her book. It was funny at times but if you are looking for a book that talks about how your best times are ahead now that you are sixty this book isn't the one.

Mildly humerous, very focused on her life much of which I don't believe most people can relate to, i.e. living in Manhatten, etc. The topics were very random which was probably more frustrating as a listener as opposed to a reader.

I found this funny, and sometimes annoying. Some parts were too gross and I sped ahead.

This is an example of when a book may actually be better to be read than listened-to. The author should have outsourced the narrative to someone with some infliction in their voice. Although I fit in the demographics that this books attractss, I found the humor almost gastly dry. The topics in each chapter were very relevant and funny in their own right, but the book dragged on.

This book was very funny at times. Sometimes bordering on black company. They writer give good insight becoming 60.

I learned that Nora was involved with the movie "When Harry Met Sally". It was an average light read. Got me through a 4 hour trip.

I am middle aged and should have connected with this book, but it didn't happen. The author is upper middle class and her "dry sense of humor" was sometimes entertaining. That is about all I can say to it's credit. I kept waiting for the book to get better. I was disappointed; it was a waste of time.
