Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a thought-provoking novel about retirement. It provides a different perspective from which to look at things. Is retiring early really the most sensible choice in all situations? How do you know when you can retire and still lead a comfortable life? Reconfigurement teaches tips and tricks to ensure that you can. It teaches you to plan ahead and not just live a boring, passive life.
It starts off by acknowledging that the world has changed from how it was before. The average life span has increased dramatically because of advancements in healthcare, technology, and medicine. Should the average age of retirement also increase then? More than that, Reconfigurement delves into detail about the many factors that can aid retirement. Income, insurance, and budgeting are all factors you should consider when creating your retirement plan. The author even gives recommendations for personality/career assessment websites, like Myer-Briggs. After all, every person is unique. Therefore, every person’s career/retirement plan will also be different. This book helps you find what’s best for you.
All in all, it was a really insightful read. While I personally have not given too much thought to retirement, a lot of the information was really helpful. Most people could probably relate to this book; it’s definitely not tailored to only one type of personality.
The author is also able to pack in all the information he wants to, but at the same time, it’s not tedious. Sure, it’s serious stuff, but Fleischauer is able to tell it light-heartedly. His writing is engaging, littered with terribly funny puns all throughout. And this definitely does not take away from the actual, deeper messages of this book. If anything, it makes it easier to retain them. It also deals with heavier topics, such as disabilities, injuries, and even death. The author knows exactly when to crack a joke and when to take things seriously.
I really can’t find anything negative about this book. There aren’t any technical errors in grammar or punctuation, a definite testament to what must be professional editing. I rate this book four out of four stars. I definitely recommend this book to any adult to read, especially if you think you’re nearing the age of retirement, but even if you’re not. It’s a book for everyone, and there will be, at the very, very least, one tip in Reconfigurement that you find useful.
