Greater Late than Never

This is an inspiring look at people who have experienced some of life's most exciting moments after reaching age 50. While some of the people have received world-wide acclaim, some are only lauded by those in their immediate circle of family and friends. The latter are the ones I find most worthy of admiration and emulation. We will not all be "famous" but we can all know that life does not end or become less after 50. An uplifting, easy read.

A witty, yet insightful view of growing older

This book is about fulfilling ones dreams at any age. It is inspirational without being prescriptive. Bob Hope's witty yet insightful portrayal of both famous and ordinary people who have made the most out of their lives is a delightful read.

Bob knows interesting people and tells their stories well.

I read this book in one sitting. It gave me a kind of Chicken-Soup-For-the-Soul uplift. Bob has led a unique life himself, knows a lot of interesting people and has a ear for a good story. A feel good read.

This book was both entertaining and inspiring - nice job

As I approach 50 it is not without some trepidation. What have I done with my life? Mr. Hope's book is inspirational and entertaining. A Self-help book with real people. It makes me feel like the best is yet to come. I especially liked the way he talked about people we know about, yet on an intimate but not gossipy level. This book was fun, easy to read. Sort of like Chicken Soup for the Soul but not as schmaltzy. I like his style. I hope he writes some more.
