Fred's Golden Years (Cypress Lake Book 2) Kindle Edition
Fred Gold, a 62 year old ex-Marine and toilet-seat maker retires to a trailer park in Cypress Lake Florida and rallies the residents of Drowsy Drive to do great things, beginning with getting the potholes on their street fixed. In going around knocking on doors, he and the reader meet a cross section of AARP America. The reader comes to see how Fred, and many of his neighbors, need to sweeten their lives with a little illusion.

I enjoyed it more than the Rollie Gold book. It does need a bit of editing such as misspellings, omitted words and extra words

I know that there are only 5 other reviews, but I'm kinda surprised that no one mentioned that satirical edge of this book. I've lived in FL and this is a remarkably disturbing, albeit accurate, portrayal of life there. From the main character, Fred the wannabe pedophile, to the other characters portraying traits of racism, greed, false religion, corrupt politics and environmental destruction, this is FL. If you like satire, you'll love this book. If not, you're not likely to be glad you read it. My personal perspective is that it was a waste of a perfectly good afternoon.

Terrible waste of time and money but I read it hoping for some normalcy. Guess I am dumder than most.

Racist, sexist with a pedophile slant. Some may find it amusing, but most readers will find it silly and offensive.

This reads like a bunch of sketches cobbled together, but still has a unique feel of 1980s frozen in time.
