So I borrowed books 1-3 from my Mum and now i have to wait for her to read bk4! I LOVE all of these characters and am especially heartened by the sympathetic portrayal of dementia. KGB, London gangsters, tv personalities, so many larger-than-life personalities. But I think the friendship between Bogdan and Stephen is my favourite thing. Couldn't resist reading aloud some of Ron's thoughts about the couple's massage - to think I have so much in common with all these pensioners! (Honestly, I'm actually only 53). Beginning to talk about retirement living for my m-in-l, and am devastated that Coopers Chase is not an option for her (or me, in years to come!). What took me so long to get around to enjoying these books?

Still funny and readable, so as enjoyable as the rest of the series in that sense. I did hit a few worldview snags in this one, where the morality being presented lessened my enjoyment of the story somewhat, hence the lower rating on this one.
