Brilliant
Wonderful writing, human observation, of a time which was nice to revisit, witty, interesting. Edward Hermann’s narration sublime, so appreciated his voice and take on it. Clever. Loved it.

Well read but dated
I listened to this because it was free and read by the actor who played Richard Gilmore - he delivers a fine performance and makes this enjoyable enough. The story was fairly engaging but some of the language is vaguely offensive and sexist (of its time I guess, though I don’t see that as a valid excuse).
The process of growing old is timeless, though, and this book is a slightly depressing reminder that it’s coming for us all, if we’re lucky enough not to die first.
