As a young reader, I saw the book and it appealed to me instantly.
After reading the first short story I could not put it down.
I am in Australia right now with my grandparents and I can see the resemblance between the characters and them, (are you sure the book isn't based on them?).
It is nice to have a window into my grandparents daily life. Lots of laughs within the many short stories.
In the car I was passing Woolworths the other day and I shouted "THAT WAS WHERE GABRIEL WAS SHOPPING! WOW!".
So nice to have some associations from the Riotous Retirement Book.
All The Best with this book, looking forward to another funny journey.
