a boomer anthem
The book moves along at an engrossing pace. If you know anything about our generation, you will appreciate Barry Golson's honesty in dealing with facts many of us will face: changed career prospects after 50, inadequate retirement savings, change in spousal relationship after the kids move out, desire for a different way of life. I wish he had been a little more explicit about the finances, but I'm a numbers gal, basically I had no complaints. A must-read.

Better than Provence
The idea is brilliant. Golson is a genius. The story is fascinating. The prose is existentially inspiring.
Every Baby Boomer and his Puggles should take this story to heart.

A Terrific Ride
In recounting his and his wife's adventures -- and misadventures -- as they set about building their dream house in Mexico, Golson is a surrogate for an entire generation; those of us who, having come of age in the Sixties and accustomed to living life on our own terms, now find ourselves wondering what the next chapter will bring. This is a smart, funny and ultimately even touching book. In addition to being a compelling personal story, this book tells any reader considering retiring south of the border anything he needs to know.
