I'm only 26 so I'm definitely not the target market for this book. I was intrigued by Granddad in the Back because I've worked in retirement and nursing homes. I saw seniors in their 90's living life to the fullest.Granddad in the Back shows how you don't have to become a drone who watches TV 12 hours a day because you turned a certain age. There is still plenty to do in life if you're looking for it.I especially liked the bits about keeping up with technology. This is one of the things that keeps seniors young. Technology makes it easier to keep in contact with loved ones and creates location independence. Instead of living next door to your children and grandchildren, you can retire somewhere tropical and use Skype/Facetime to "see" your grandchildren every day.Granddad in the Back is littered with thoughtful quotes and photos related to the stories. They add a nice touch to the well written prose.
