Review of 42 Up (1999) by Jack S — 04 Jan 2009
A bit on the longish side, but I suppose life does get a bit more complicated as we go on. The "kids" are now older than me for the first time. Bruce remains the heart and soul of the series, and I was happy to see him get married.
The black kid is back (and remarried), though our upper-class twit has gone missing again. Most surprising is that Neil seems nearly normal--he's a politician at this point--though of course he's still unemployed.
Though perhaps his "recovery" is partially explained by the series' biggest shock: He's become friends with good ol' Bruce, and spoke at Bruce's wedding!
