If you are approaching 80 you will love this book, if not …

I needed this book to help me stay steeped in reality, but at the same time look at my life in a humorous vein.

Wonderful, as expected

I’ve always loved Garrison Keillor’s work. A Prairie Home Companion, of course, but I’m also a great fan of his writing.

I own, so far as I’m aware, (hard)copies of all of his books. But his most recent books (e, g. “Serenity at 70, Gaiety at 80” and his memoir “That Time of Year”) have had a much more “personal” tone to them, and so, for me, I find them perfect as audiobooks.

It’s like having a close friend speaking to you, personally.

Highly recommend.

Real, positive and uplifting with laughs along the way.

Garrison reading it makes up for the years without Prarie home companion. I grew up listening to his show with my mom on Sundays, then later on my own in college. Now I'm 42 and love his works more

Enjoyable uplifting read

I liked the stories, the narrator, and a few glimpses of thr Prairie Home Companion.

Enjoyable and cheerful

Garrison is one of my favorites and this one left me with pages of quotes and lots of smiles and laughter!
