really liked it
bookshelves: not-loanable, novellas

Our senior citizens. What role do they play in modern society? Do we value them enough or are we somewhat relieved when they head off to the nursing home? Wouldn't you be pissed if that happened to you?

This short story made me think about all those things, all the while shrinking away from each fresh horror these seniors were perpetrating. That's right, the seniors were doing the perpetrating. :)

I loved the way this story was presented and even though it was short, the characters were well developed and complicated. Once again. I am impressed by Mr. Newman. Highly recommended!

Char Thanks for saying so! This was a bit unusual bit I got a big kick out of it. Those old people were a trip! I hope you enjoy it, too. :)
