What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said? Each time I read a book by Carol E Wyer I know that its going to bring a huge smile to my face and Grumpies on Board did not disappoint at all. I love this series of books and I think that the writing style, hilarious sense of humour and sometimes awful jokes are such a fantastic combination.
If you thought for one moment that growing older was going to be dull well think again. In Grumpies on Board the message is clearly 'its not the years in your life that counts, its the life in your years.' I mean lets face it, how many of us would consider going to Ninja school or going on a tank holiday? This book tells us how we can do precisely these things! And, did you know there's a gap year company...........for oldies?
Grumpies on Board is an informative, funny and well researched book. Set out in alphabetical order it lists activities that are guaranteed to put the spring back in your step and give the younger people a run for their money. With jokes that are guaranteed to make you groan and an attitude that tells us we can do anything no matter what age we get to, whats not to love about this book. After reading Grumpies on Board I was once again reminded of why Carol E Wyer is an award winning writer. Any writer who can make me laugh so hard that I snort wine out my nose is a winner in my eyes! Highly recommended!
ABOUT CAROL E WYER
Carol E. Wyer was born in Munster, Germany in 1960. She began her
working life in Casablanca where she taught
English and French in Language Schools and for companies. used to race around
the streets on a clapped out VéloSoleX bike, avoiding donkeys. She changed
career to become a fitness instructor in her forties and appeared in Zest magazine as a ‘success story’. No
longer able to touch her toes with her hands, she has now become a full-time
writer. Having written a series of educational yet amusing books for
children, she turned her attention to the adult market in 2010 when her son
flew from the nest.
Her first two novels Mini
Skirts and Laughter Lines and Surfing
in Stilettos won several awards for humour and much attention from the
media. Since then, she has won the people’s Book Prize Award with Grumpy Old
Menopause and has appeared on over fifty BBC radio stations, several
international radio stations, Sky News, NBC television and BBC Breakfast
television discussing age-related subjects such as ‘Irritable Male Syndrome’
and ‘Grumpy Old Menopause’. Her writing style has been described frequently by
the media as 'witty' or 'humorous' and has even been compared to the acerbic
wit of Jeremy Clarkson and the humour of Robin Williams.
Carol has written articles for and featured in several national
women’s magazines including Take A Break,
Choice, Woman’s Weekly and Woman's
Own who also wrote about her journey to becoming a best-selling author.
Currently writing a series of novels and articles aimed at the ‘older’
woman and man, Carol is also engaged in writing by-line articles and posts for
magazines and websites including Silver Travel Advisor and the Huffington Post.
Carol is also a regular Loud Mouth on BBC Radio Derby.
Last year, she took a crash course in stand-up comedy and is currently
doing a comedy tour entitled Smile While You Still have Teeth to sell-out
audiences, proving you’re never too old to try a new experience.
