 LAUGH FEAST October 2, 2007
23 out of 27 found this review helpful
This is an extremely funny look at all the crazy stuff we do to try and stay young. From supplements to exercise to liposuction to gravity boots.
The first half of the book is written from a woman's point of view, the second from a man's perspective. The style is irreverent and in-your-face. The authors take no prisoners, riffing on health care (Dickson's take on emergency rooms: "Places where hundreds of angry, hostile, vomiting, retching, shaking people gather for hours to fill out huge amounts of paperwork.")
My only complaint is the book never really gets serious even when the topic is serious. But then that might've crimped the tone of the book.
If you don't mind reading a book mocking everything from death to health to divorce to doctors to disease you'll enjoy the book very much. It's the funniest thing I've read since early Dave Barry.
