David Berg davidkungen — i think it will be a good book

Lathes Morajas lmorajas5fdd — Hysterically funny! For anyone that has found themselves in far-flung locales and has a wicked sense of humor...

Leonardo Daher leodaher — Just about every book will elicit different reactions from people based on their age. This book is definitely in that category. It's the story of two octogenarians, a husband and wife, taking one last vacation together. The wife, Ella, has chosen to stop treatment on her cancer; the husband, John, suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Their grown children, unsurprisingly, are totally against this trip, a drive in their motor home (The Leisure Seeker) along Route 66 to Disneyland. The book is by turns sweet and sadly realistic. There are moments when John is lucid enough for the couple to regain some of the loving playfulness they had at a younger age. There are moments when his dementia drives Ella to dispair and angry words. But they keep on plugging away toward their destination, stopping at campgrounds and motels along the way. They have brought on this trip a slide projector and their slide collection and spend many an evening enjoying a slide show of family vacations gone by. I found myself cheering for the old guys. Younger people who read this may be hoping for the children to bring those old geezers "to their senses." Whatever you think, it's a story of two people near the end of their lives who are taking life into their own hands and I have to say that I admired them.
