I survived this book! It seems to be two parts: one, well researched essay discussing the poor health care system that we have devised for our elders and how it makes aging harder, not easier. The second part seems rather embittered to me, in that she seems to say that aging is hell, and we'd better not kid ourselves, in the process of making sarcastic comments about people who view aging through a spiritual or psychological lens. I thought she was certainly entitled to her opinion about those ideas, but I did not find them illuminating or enriching.
