"I downloaded this on Amazon Kindle just before I boarded a flight to Portland, Oregon from Maui. $4.99 only. It's a mystery but I was laughing and chuckling the whole way. You'll enjoy the main character, a crotchety octogenarian named Paul Jacobson. You can get this in a paper edition or on Kindle."

" This is a very quirky book but I think it works. The characters are creative and original. "
— Mary, 1/4/2014" I really enjoyed this book, it's funny and a nice light read. It gives you a lighthearted insight in the lives of people that are in retirement homes....with a twist of course "
— Janiska, 12/21/2013" Gets 4 stars because it made me laugh out loud a few times. Definitely not a prize winning book but it felt good to read a mindless, non-thinking book in between all of the political non-fiction I've been stuck on lately. "
— Noelle, 11/12/2013" Has a unique old curmudggon(?) as a protagonist. Moves quickly and gives a really humorous but true view of retirement home living. Author has made of study of the elderly and captured it well. A good summer read. "
— Jlkempen, 9/29/2013" What a fun read! This book is humorous without being cute or more talkie/clever than I like. The protagonist has an interesting memory loss disability and the things he does to compensate help propel the story along. "
— Mickey, 8/11/2012" This series is cute. Paul Jacobson finds himself a murder suspect and wakes up everyday forgetting everything that happened the day before. "
— Mendy, 4/19/2012" An ok read - started out more engaging than it ended up. Fun premise but didn't love the narration or dialogue and it got too predictable. "
— Jen, 7/19/2011" funny and sarcastic, a few crude parts. A man wakes up every morning with no memory of the day before but he solves a murder. "
