review 1: This was funny, but not as funny as it should have been. I wasn't ever really able to grasp how serious the author was about some of the entries. In theory, the entire thing should have been humorous...because, really, what is the POINT of trying to act young? But every time I'd start enjoying the humor, I would hit a place where it seemed obvious the author really did care about an arbitrary societal distinction between generations. Oh, well.
review 2: It's a quick read (I read it in a couple hours this evening). Alas, I'm guilty of so much! Ha!Here are seven examples ...* Unstrap the Rolex - The young don't wear a watch because they can get the time on their cell phone.* Don't leave a message - Young people figure the other person will see their number in mis... moresed calls and reach out if they want or need to talk.* Don't spout any history - If it happened before 2001, who cares?* Don't block the aisle in the grocery story.* Don't fear the wax - Waxing "down there" is one of the major differences between younger and older women.* Don't yell into your cell.* Don't cook a roast - Apparently no one under the age of 40 knows how to roast meat and they don't want to know. less
