I have read it twice and found the facts to be interesting regarding age restricted communities, some of the history of TV, Sun City, etc. His opinions are like everyone's, some interesting, some agreeable, some silly, and some simply wrong, but knowing that I still found the book an interesting read. I didn't think it was particularly well written, and I felt that some of his characters were embellished for shock value, but still would recommend it to anyone interested in TV. BTW, I am a big fan of The Villages and did not find it at all offensive, though I am not easily offended.
