Born Bent Over Reviews

FROM: Mark McGinty, The Boogle

4 1/2 out of 5 stars !
Filled with hilarious and sometimes touching essays on life-after-midlife-crisis, Greenleaf is a witty storyteller whose good-natured sarcasm draws you into a miserable existence filled with charming anecdotes of mid-life wretchedness. You can’t help but admire how much he’s embraced his dismal existence. Greenleaf has truly made lemonade out of life’s lemons (after being squirted in the eye by burning juice-acid a few times). He has clearly enjoyed every minute of writing this book, and the reader will appreciate Greenleaf’s positive and uplifting approach to growing old. Most amusing is a chapter titled “Who Said Women Don’t Fart?” a detailed encounter with a swamp-assed supermarket granny.

Born Bent Over: Flashing the Vertical Smile at Middle Age by Brian Greenleaf is a hysterical romp through the land mine of life we Baby Boomers refer to as middle age. Written as a series of humorous essays from a male perspective, this book also appeals to the estrogen set, with chapters that will have most "menopausal mamas" nodding in agreement and doubling over with laughter. Mr. Greenleaf flexes his comedic muscle best when writing about the inevitable physical aches and pains of aging and the necessary but feared procedures. If the thought of a colonoscopy has you wincing, this book will put your mind at ease just knowing you're not alone. In fact, any book that so easily and humorously relates to real life, as this one certainly does, is a must-have if you wish to survive midlife with a smile - even if it's a vertical one."

Not only was the ill-fated protagonist in Born Bent Over: Flashing the Vertical Smile at Middle Age condemned to a life of slip and fall accidents and unspeakable medical experiments; the boy can't sing, either. Give a listen to the Born Bent Over theme song.
