I have Leisureville on my Nook Tablet and found it very interesting. It has a great deal of information about the history and development of retirement communities in general and TV in particular. The relatively young author is pretty heavy handed in pushing his belief that TV residents have selfishly abandoned their communities, chose to no longer contribute to society and are guilty of age discrimination by refusing children in their midst. If you can get past that, it's a pretty good read. It's a book that I've saved and will probably reread soon.
