Interesting by Roberta Hotard (Somewhere here, Florida)  5 Stars
September 28, 2008
My middle daughter just started college and discovered the Gerentology class is very interesting to her. This book she says is amazing. She told me this is far the best out of all her classes. Atleast she loves college thats the main thing right now but since she is only a freshman that can change. She has decided to major in Gerentology.

Good book, interesting stats... by Ryanne (Montgomery County, MD) 4 Stars
September 17, 2007
I am only a few chapters into this book so far, but it seems to be a good read. I have already learned several new things about aging and look forward to my continued reading. My only complaint so far is that while interesting, I think that there are too many statistics. This kind of takes away the importance of some of the more pertinent facts and would be far too many to memorize.
