review 1: In How Not To Murder Your Grumpy, author Carol E. Wyer has drawn on her own personal experience of life with a retired 'grumpy' ageing husband at home to write an humourous book highlighting many ways, over 700 suggestions in fact, to keep just such a husband occupied and therefore not drive you to distraction! I've enjoyed Carol E Wyer's writing in her fiction novels that I've read (Mini Skirts & Laughter Lines and Surfing in Stilletos) and that same witty, cheeky but warm-hearted humour is again in evidence here, together with a slightly more factual element to the content, this time in a shorter work that is fun to just pick up and read a few passages or pages from.Presented as an A-Z guide to activities ranging from fun, to sporty, serious and just bizarre, there are p... moreassages on everything from furniture restoration, to campanology, bodyflying and yodelling, all included here with the ultimate aim of encouraging 'your beloved Grumpy...to stop wrestling with retirement and tackle a new venture.'I was tickled by some of the ideas here and by the variety of potential activities, and enjoyed reading about some of the people who have tackled these pursuits, including the 96 year old man mastering Zumba!I was also glad to read the 'Author's note: No Grumpy Old Men were harmed in the writing of this book.' :-)
review 2: I was rather hoping that this book would give me an idea of how to go about disposing of my other half. I should have realised that it would detract me from murder and in fact has encouraged me to take up dance classes and enrol my man in some sailing lessons.How Not to Murder Your Grumpy is a fun book. It is the sort of book you give your best friend or your mother. It is the sort of book that you can enjoy on several levels. Most of all, it the sort of book that will help you when you are wondering what to do with your man.Mine retired last month. Thank heavens I found this book in time. less
