Leisureville: Adventures in America's Retirement Utopias,
by Andrew Blechman
Leisureville is a golf cart seat view of life in the age restricted retirement community of "The Villages" in Florida. Blechman is invited by his former neighbors from New England to see first hand the utopia lifestyle they are now leading in their new bungalow at The Villages. Blechman is intrigued to see how his former neighbors, who were so active in their small northern town have adjusted to a life of leisure. The book is a mesmerizing look at the type of communities that are springing up all over the country to accomodate the wave of retirees looking to trade the problems of the world for days of sun, endless golf and restaurant hopping. This is a fascinating, engaging and humorous book that is fun to read.
