Rating:  Summary: I can't WAIT for menopause, thanks to Laura! Review: Thanks to Laura I am no longer dreading menopause! Laura is not only funny but wise in her writing, and she has done a delightful job of bringing the inevitability of menopause down to everyone's level. As she says, the alternative is something I'd rather not think about.What I love about Laura's writing is that the chapters are bite-sized for busy lives. I also love her freshness and the way I can easily give her books to friends going through the same situations. Many of my friends are not Christian but they all love Laura's style and I can't help but think God's words touch people exactly where they need to hear it thanks to Laura's humor.

Rating:  Summary: Mentalpause and Other Midlife Laughs Review: This book is a delightfully entertaining, wonderfully humorous, and OH SO TRUE walk through those midlife menopausal "joys." Every woman who has reached this stage of life will see herself in each and every hilarious chapter. You'll find yourself saying, "Been there, Done that, and OH NO, this is yet to come?" A must read!
Rating:  Summary: Verrrrry Funny! Review: This book was a riot! It really validated me as a woman over age 40, and I could relate to everything the author wrote about menopause. The author's humor is subtle and tongue-in-cheek. I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't much in the book concerning partenting in middle age, or having a baby in midlife. For that, the best book around is "Parentaly Insane: Insights From The Edge...of Midlife!" by Julie Donner Andersen, a much more comprehensive, more bluntly honest and hilarious view of midlife womanhood, marriage, and parenting.
Rating:  Summary: Witty About Women's Woes Review: We've come a long way, baby, from the days of Lydia Pinkham's tonic when women didn't admit they were growing old. If you've hit mid-age with its "power surges," increased body gravity, and bearded-lady-of-the-circus syndrome, you'll find a buddy in Laura Jensen Walker. A breast cancer survivor who entered "the change" early, she knows that the ability to laugh at our bodies' "wild stuff" enables us to accept this time rather than resist it. This is not a health manual, but a humor lesson. Beneath all of Laura's joshing about the weird stuff of growing old is another story--that of a husband who is willing to help her hang on for safety as they ride the roller coaster of menopause together.
Rating:  Summary: Read it and laugh Review: Whether you're beginning the trip into middle-age, or are already there, you'll want to get this delightful book. Laura Jensen Walker has found a way to grow old gracefully-laugh about it!
