I thought some of the tidbits were really interesting. I borrowed a copy online from a site that lends out books but even tho it is dated there is enough in there of interest that had I paid for it I would have felt I got my value from it.

This article kind of sums up Andrew Blechman's main points. I did not see any fiction there just his view of the Villages. The Villages: Florida's Disney World For Retirees : NPR

I skipped the more titillating parts of Leisureville though not really caring what the seniors did or did not do after they hit the hay. How old was Dr. Ruth when she was giving out all that sex advice?
