Review: 60 Questions, Insights and Reminiscences

60 Questions, Insights and Reminiscences by Margaret Lynette Sharp

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Many months have passed since I'd finished this book, so when I picked it up today, I saw it with fresh eyes. And frankly, I liked what I saw.

'60 Questions, Insights and Reminiscences' is divided into six parts, each dealing with questions about life through the perspective of a female baby-boomer.

Some of the topics from 'What's Good About?' include losing, pride, snobbery, prejudice, rejection, hoarding and boredom. The answers proposed mix home-spun wisdom with humour, and are written in an entertaining, easy to comprehend style.

On the other hand, 'Can you Remember?' delves into quite different topics; topics which invite pleasant, even touching, trips back to our early lives.

This volume has been highly praised by some, middle aged, readers; yet others see it as being simplistic, and better suited to teenagers and young adults as a springboard for discussion. Many have expressed their appreciation of the style of writing.

If you're looking for a quick to read, well-expressed volume of short articles about life's questions, then I heartily recommend you consider '60 Questions, Insights and Reminiscences'.
