Book Reviews of Boomsday

Book Review: Book on CD
Summary: 5 Stars

I was given this book on CD and began listening to it on a long drive to a conference. I have never laughed so hard! I was disappointed when the drive was over, and I wasn't done listening yet... The book is read by Ganine Garofalo, and she does an amazing job with lots of different voices. It is funny for multiple reasons: similarities to our current politics, brash honesty, unforgettable characters! STFU! <- very funny part of the book...

Summary of Boomsday

Outraged over the mounting Social Security debt, Cassandra Devine, a charismatic 29-year-old blogger and member of Generation Whatever, incites massive cultural warfare when she politely suggests that Baby Boomers be given government incentives to kill themselves by age 75. Her modest proposal catches fire with millions of citizens, chief among them "an ambitious senator seeking the presidency." With the help of Washington's greatest spin doctor, the blogger and the politician try to ride the issue of euthanasia for Boomers (called "transitioning") all the way to the White House,
over the objections of the Religious Right, and of course, the Baby Boomers, who are deeply offended by demonstrations on the golf courses of their retirement
resorts.
