In Humor All The Way: You’re Kidding, I’m a SENIOR?, Renee’ Servello takes a humorous look at the joys and perils of the golden age. Witty and sharp, she collectively offers her life observations on her experiences and aging in general.
Each page handles a different topic as readers laugh their way across various subject matters including the pandemic, pension, health matters, family, and relationships. Renee does not shy away from sharing her discomfitures like her trips to the dentist and her conclusions about the whole experience. She writes about everything with a wonderful sense of humor and the result is a refreshing read.
Imbued with thoughtful lessons and insights as well, Humor All The Way: You’re Kidding, I’m a SENIOR?provides double escapism allowing readers to enjoy a good laugh while also looking at their situations light-heartedly. I particularly appreciated how Renee includes inspiring stories from other golden-agers as well, creating various viewpoints in the text. Each reminiscence is one page long with some taking a few lines. Primarily capturing the author’s creative catharsis on various issues, others examine complex issues such as raising children, marriage, sickness, and loss.
Overall, Renee’ encourages her target audience to enjoy the aging process and make every day count. She offers practical advice with a chatty and vibrant tone delivering a heartwarming read. Readers will find themselves letting out a laugh, a chuckle, and even a smile during most of the reading.
The author goes ahead and offers fond memories in bite-sized essays which make one feel like they are chatting with a friend over a warm cup of evening tea. The text’s feather in the cap is its ability to encapsulate just about everything in life with hilarity and irreverence. Essentially written for senior citizens, Humor All The Way: You’re Kidding, I’m a SENIOR? by Renee’ Servello will appeal to a larger audience as it is relatable and certainly worth poring over after a busy day.
