These a Nigh impossible to dislike, a quick jolly but darkly humoured dual-diary from something care home residents, as dissimilar from each other as it is possible to be. These are their misadventures together.
Through day trips, hospital trips, shopping trips and the world of speed dating and texting. The juxtaposed diary sections, with Joan's wry voice showing exactly what happened each day and Bridget's flights and fancy and excess very, very funny and enjoyable.
Some great oneliners all the way through, and a lovely ending - just as it should be. Go on, it's not a Bridget book - more a manual for how to grow old disgracefully We all need some pointers Dec 08, Karen rated it it was ok. No laugh out aloud moments for me. It has some genuinely funny lines, but most of the humour simply made me groan.
Oct 15, Miss Donna Duguid rated it it was amazing. Brilliant book had me laughing out loud for most of it! Jul 26, Aileen rated it liked it. Picked this up in charity bookshop for a light read in the summer heat.
However, as the book progresses, it becomes a bit 'same', and I was eventually glad it was a short book, and able to finish in an hour or so. Having said that, I've put it on the bedside table for the next visit from my Mum, who at 85yo co Picked this up in charity bookshop for a light read in the summer heat.
Having said that, I've put it on the bedside table for the next visit from my Mum, who at 85yo could have served as the inspiration for some of the content! And she will definitely recognise other bits from her own and her friends' behaviours.

Gave me a good chuckle. Es gibt Penne, aber ich habe Bridget gesagt, es sind Tagliatelle. Ich mag ganz besonders Joans schwarzen Humor und ihre sarkastische Betrachtungsweise. Darauf freue ich mich schon jetzt! Jan 08, Rebecca Gertz rated it liked it. Bridget and Joan are two elderly ladies that live life to the fullest - atleast to their fullest abilities. The author tries to describe the life of elderly people with a lot of humor, which, at times, can seem a bit lame and foreseeable.
Unfortunately, this reduced my interest in reading on, but I am just not somebody to put a book away and I can account for that one of the last stories in the book actually serves as a climax and is by far the funniest. On a positive note, as a former intern in Bridget and Joan are two elderly ladies that live life to the fullest - atleast to their fullest abilities.
On a positive note, as a former intern in an elderly care, I can testify that you would definitely find these kinds of relations between elderly ladies - though, there aren't any ladies who are as crazy as Joan in reality. Altogether I probably wouldn't buy a sequel, because I'd expect it to struggle with humor even more. Sweet idea but not mad about the delivery I enjoyed the idea of the premise but the content wasn't quite as imaginative as it could have been, with the parody aspect therefore falling a bit flat.
Harmless way to pass an hour, however, and I did not dislike the characters albeit that they're possibly slightly patronising stereotypes of our older generation. One for those who want an easy read. Amusing book which reminded me of 'Ladies of letters'. Some laugh out loud moments and a good fun read. Mar 16, Lisa: I picked this up because I wanted something quick and lighthearted to read and that was exactly what I got.
This book only took me about two hours to read one Sunday morning but I really enjoyed it. There were even a couple of times when I actually laughed out loud! This book is nothing groundbreaking but it worth picking up with a cup of tea on a sunny morning. Feb 27, Allen rated it really liked it. A very funny tongue in cheek book, that you just cannot help liking.
The characters are very funny and the things they get up to provide lots of laugh out loud moments.
Worth reading when you are feeling down or old!! Jul 26, Alanna Fowler rated it it was amazing. This was a quick read, only took me about an hour and a half but by god did I laugh the whole way through it! Worth it for a little giggle! Jul 14, Angi rated it really liked it.
Jan 22, Ruth Johnstone rated it it was amazing. Very, very funny, almost makes you look forward to old age!!

Jan 08, Ailsa Britain rated it liked it. Apr 13, Angela Star rated it liked it. This book was just ok. I found it distracting to have 2 threads running together with each main character having their own dialogue independent of each other. Soll das englischer Humor sein?
