5 Stars Self Help
I have several of the Chicken Soup books, I would love to have them all! I can sit for hours and read the short stories over and over. I’ve noticed that my pastor uses alot of them in his sermons also. It just warms my heart when I read the touching stories about struggles and triumphs in the lives of others. Some say that the series is depressing but I find that when I’m in a dark moment I can read or recall some of the stories I’ve read and I feel better. They just help shed new light on certain situations. Great gifts also. I’ve given them to friends and family members on different occasions. They loved them.
5 Stars Good Read!
I took this book with me on vacation and it was a great read! This is the first Chicken Soup Book I’ve read and I will definately purchase more!
5 Stars wow!!!!
I loved this book! I stayed up for 6 hours because I couldn’t bear to put it down. All of the stories touched my heart and I cried for hours.
1 Stars depressing stories, no redeeming qualities
The theme of nearly all of the “stories” relvolve about death (someone else’s) which leaves the survivor as the victor or sometimes just the survivor. Sounds like bad medicine to me. The smarmy introductions provided by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen set the scene for real tear jerkers with no moral to the whole sad production. Don’t waste your money and postage on this. I’m requesting a refund. Alex Ryan
5 Stars Wonderful display of love and everyday life……
My beloved friend gave me this book for a gift. This is the most wonderful book I’ve read recently. It reminded me how we were when we were young and naive. If you are wondering what to get for friend who you love, this is it.
