I just read the book a few weeks ago. The first part I loved because we could so relate to it. We visited Florida 1.5 years ago, never thought we would like it or consider it our future home. I month later we were 55+ community central Florida homeowners. (We bought in The Plantation...never heard of the Villages until later).

I found myself liking parts of the book, and being angry at other parts of the book. I think he was biased most of the time, and I resented his viewpoint that we were "wronging society" by buying a home in a 55+ gated golf community. Anyway, it held my interest, gave me some things to think about, and taught me that we must be pro active to insure a healthy future for our community.
