 Getting older? Read this book Aug 02, 2011
By Dr Zoon
As an aging Family Practice physician I'm familiar with the problems of aging and the aged and this is a wonderful primer for all of those of us dealing with this issue. In this readable and authoritative book, Dennis has touched on a broad variety of topics and done it with compassion and humor. I would definitely recommend this to any reader who finds that they or someone they know seems to be getting older.

"Laughter Gal"
A quick, entertaining read. Aging is viewed through the eyes of humor, compassion, and experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the insight Mr. Garvey shared with the reader. This book really calmed my nerves about growing older and laughter truly is the best medicine, even though aging can be seen as a very serious issue. Mr. Garvey's examples were engaging and so poignant. I would recommend this book to anyone as a MUST read. . . A great gift for parents, friends, and neighbors!
I Know a Great Book When it Changes My Life - This One Has! Apr 12, 2010
By Sandra Thurman
I read a lot of books, many of which I enjoy but I don't remember all that well. "Sex, Drugs and Growing Old" is one of those books that changed the way I view an entire generation and, more importantly, changed my behavior in relation to that generation. After reading Dennis Garvey's book, I realized how I, along with so many others, generalized the entire aging process and those people who have aged. I no longer make those broad statements about aging or those who have aged (and bring that up when those around me do), I no longer buy cards that negatively make fun of aging, and I have changed the way I view myself as I grow older.
Thank you, Mr. Garvey, for this eye- and mind-opening book, and for showing me how to change my views in an area of my life I didn't even know needed changing! Also, thank you for the humor you used to point things out - I laughed out loud in some areas.
Very respectfully,
Sandra Thurman
