Summary: Something For Everyone To Relate To
Review: I thought this book was excellent. It has simple thoughts about some of the most complex and seemingly simple things in life. I am reading this book for the FOURTH time and it still makes me laugh or re-evaluate my thinking. I reccomend this book to anyone, especially those who want a quick break from rational thinking.

Summary: Masterpiece for the soul
Review: Fulghum did a wonderfull job making me love, laugh, and appreciate life again. A good book for worriers, depressed, people who simply forgot to enjoy the small things of life (and who doesn't these days), or just people who like to spend some evening hours with garenteed amusement. Fulghums book makes me re-evaluate things as annoying as household dust (actually coming from the cosmic admoshpere!) and even got me to see the beauty of it. An American friend sent this book to me for my birthday (thanks Jana!) and now I've decided to buy them all! I hope the others can live up to the high expectations that Kindergarten left me with!

Summary: Too Plain
Review: I found the reading a bit boring. My teachers had recommended it saying it was hilarious! No fun at all for me! It seems as if the author has led his pen fly through the pages and write whatever came to his mind. Whatever! It looks like a personal diary , no worth publishing! I've read similar books but found them much more interesting e.g 'Chicken soup for the soul' series

Summary: Wisdom is Found Everywhere
Review: I remember picking this book up in the 6th grade and never putting it down for a year. The year between my picking it up and putting down I read it, reread it, rereread it, read bits here and there, quoted from it, thought it was my Bible and then thought better...You get the idea. I was enchanted by this book. Typically, I find people who are confronted with things like this, which can be very corny but very wise at times, are either totally absorbed or revolted. It doesn't surprise me at all that average customer reviews for this book are either one star or five stars with few ratings in between. But you should be aware of this book's content before you make up your mind. The book consists of anecdotes told from the perspective of Robert Fulghum, who has been a salesman and a Unitarian minster among other things. His perspective can get very mushy at times, such as when he talks about how in fall Nature gives him an Oriental carpet in his backyard. And he can be very profound - like when he sees a kid hiding from his friends in a game of "Hide and Seek" in a place where no one will ever look. He compares this "go out a winner" attitude of the kid, whose friends almost give up looking for him, to the attitude a man with cancer had when he elected not to tell anyone close to him about his terminal illness. It's difficult for me to describe everything found in this book. Perhaps the best summary is given by the title. If you're looking for something different to read, and aren't afraid to examine a cornier - but infinitely more profound - way of looking at the world, then you must read this book.

Summary: Not Socrates, but it works!
Review: Thanks to all the "complex" thinkers that continue to attack Fulghum's best-seller. Although Fulghum chooses to write from a simple voice, he also touches on universal themes we can all identify with. Some people need more intellectual stimulation, and if you're that type, pick up Kant, Nietsche, or Carlyle. For those of you who want a simple, easy laugh, grab this book. I'd rather read this book when I'm trying to relax any day.

Summary: Plato and Socrates aren't here
Review: Ugh. Drivel. The book's opening pages are humorous and even sensical. The remainder is less than thought provoking. Chapters are little life-stories that present a lesson in the end. Reading the life stories is much like watching you r neighbor's Nebraska vacation slide show. At least I can set the book down without appearing rude. If you're searching for intellectual stimulation, please hit your browser's "back" button.

Summary: For people who rarely read.
Review: I don't think I can recommend this to anyone. It reads like a grade-school diary.

Summary: One of my favorite books of all times
Review: I am very surprised about how insulting some of the comments on this book are. While I agree that you may or you may not like this book (or any other book for that matter), I can only think that those who insult the author for his writing didn't understand a word of what he tried to communicate. Did he fail ? No, I liked the book a lot for its wisdom, common sense and humour. If you don't agree that not everything has to be big to be good, then you may not understand it... often a simple flower from a meadow offered with a true feeling is worth more than a hundred roses quickly purchased in a supermarket.

Summary: Rather inane, somewhat humorous
Review: If you are looking for humor, there are better sources elsewhere. If you are looking for an understanding of life, please take the trouble to read something more substantial. I admit that I found some of the passages funny (hence the two stars!!). If you are at an airport waiting for a flight and not in the mood to start anything "weighty" or long - this is perhaps the book for you. But I don't think you would read it a second time - I would not.

Summary: !!!!!!!Great!!!!!!!!!
Review: It's refreshing to know that with people that share the values of Bob Fulghum, there is still some hope for this old world.
