Stuck in the Passing Lane:
By: Jed Ringel
Publisher: About Face Press
Stars: 2
Summary: What happens when a newly divorced,
monogamous, family-oriented Baby Boomer gets trapped on the Internet dating
superhighway? From Spanish Harlem to Singapore, in relationships with Muscovite
intellectuals and streetwise Chinatown massage parlor queens, Jed Ringel takes
you on this hilarious, heartrending, self-revelatory, and sometimes even
cringe-worthy journey. With the unsparing comments of his three daughters, and
his own honest, self-deprecating assessments, Stuck in the Passing Lane is
the non-stop entertaining memoir of a mature man, dauntlessly searching for his
last great love; one that won’t, in just a matter of time, become relationship
déjà vu.
Review: Stuck in the Passing Lane, was a book that I
normally would not read, with that being said that might be the good indicator
on why I personally had a hard time reading it. In fact I did not even finish
the book. But the concept of the book was good. I thought it was intriguing and
thought provoking. It was fast paced to a point, there was a part that I could
not get past no matter how many times I tried. To someone else this book is
probably very good. I would still say give the book a shot if you are into
memoirs and love stories.

It is always fun to try to read stuff that falls outside of our normal. Kudos to you for trying something different!
