Story was good. It was an honest look at retirement, but the virtual voice should never be used to ever again on any book. It was horrible.

The virtual voice is horrible

I am retiring this week. I'm very interested in the decisions I'll be called on to answer and the answers that a thoughtful person came up with to those questions. This is that. I found it thought provoking. But it is about 60% too long and would benefit from some context at the beginning about the authors life pre retirement and then a postscript on what has happened since the book closed. Writing an entry everyday was a good way to come up with a manuscript but it needs a brutal edit. It is repetitive and full of cliches. I read it while doing other things so tuned in and out. I'd like to see it re-edited an reissued. It is a topic that needs more resources.

Interesting but in need of editing

The narration is awful. Such a personal account could have really benefited from a personal voice that pronounced words properly. Some good observations from the writer however.

Some good advice
