You don't make a lot of friends here by quoting it or agreeing with anything that Blechman postulates and you WILL hear about it if you do.
If you push away from Blechman's obvious bias, he DOES bring up some very interesting points. However, it is NOT a popular book to refer to here.

I think most people who read the book agree that the book was slanted to SELL it. There is a LOT of factual information and a lot of interesting "tales" about Mr. Midnight and the wild sex here. Not saying it isn't happening but it was a little too..um...canned.
I THINK what some people object to is the premise that an older person should stay "put" and enrich their surroundings rather than grabbing some "selfish" happiness for themselves.
No one I knows HATED it...they felt it was an attempt to earn a little money for Mr. Blechman...which it did.
