Summary: Joining the club
Review: As one just becoming a member of the Fifty-and-Going-Strong Club, I found this book a wonderful and appropriate birthday gift. The women selected represent a variety of success stories and life-style choices and left me tantalized - hungry for more information about each of them. They look terrific, value balance in their lives, look forward to the future, and make me proud to be a baby-boomer-woman-mother-professional woman. Fifty CELEBRATE Fify, indeed! Twenty- and thirty-somethings, check it out.

Summary: Great book
Review: I will be fifty years old on February 17, 2004, if the Lord allows. This book is interesting, inspiring and worth the money; and it has great photographs. Not done reading it yet--I wanted to save some of the goodness for later. Please check it out--it makes a great coffee-table book as well.

Summary: Just Hitting Their Stride...
Review: I would have loved the profiles to be longer. What you get is kind of a teaser. But the women are interesting and often inspiring. If you are hitting that half-way mark or are close to it, this book is worth a look-see.

Summary: Talk about a celebration!
Review: If there was any doubt that 50 is the new 40, this book lays it to rest (not only that but since 40 is the new, um, 35, it gets better and better). Luckily, MORE's editors have not relied only on celebrities for this celebration (although there are plenty of those here)--they've also chosen a wonderful mix of women--famous and obscure; white and of color; a bit tawdry--Sydney Biddle Barrows, all the way up to wholly self-sacrificing--a minister who devotes much of her time to caring for her Alzheimer-stricken mother. There are even overweight women in these pages--and they have wonderful lives!A book like this confirms the myriad possibilities open to 50-and- over women of any color, shape or background right now right here--but it's not only inspiring, it's also a good read. You get the inside scoop on movie stars, corporate executives, athletes, TV anchors, students, explorers--all women over 50. And each story is written in the fresh, bright, savvy, lively style that MORE is known for. What More could you ask?

Summary: fifty celebret fifty
Review: Very disappointed, most women interviewed did not express how they felt, what they do to stay in shape ie diet,exercise,activities, advice on looking and feeling young and how they view life today verses yesterday. More or less it talked about their careers and who they are married to if any.
