Summary: Touching, motivating, inspiring stories.
Review: I have just finished reading it, my first Chicken Soup book too, and enjoyed most of the stories. One of the stories stood out. It was about a young girl, Arlyn, titled Wind Beneath My Wings, written by her mother after her Arlyn's death. In this busy, hectic world, we get so busy, it was a good reminder for me to listen more carefully to my own daughter. At the end of the book the author's mailing and email addresses were listed - I think that is an extra bonus! I would recommend the book, and this story, for anyone who has a child.

Summary: The best Chicken Soup book yet
Review: I like the Chicken Soup books because they are a combination of short articles and stories. I don't have as much time as I'd like to read so I like something I can just read a few pages of at a time. I can't put this one down! I especially like the letter "Hussy Sunsets" by Milly Vanderpool. It is letter of congratulaltions she sent, in 1941, to her younger brother when he married, submitted by her Granddaughter, Laura. I keep thinking of what she said, "The most important thing in a marriage is not a home, children or a remedy against sin, but simply there always being an eye to catch".

Summary: heartwarming and delicious
Review: I love short stories because I can read them before I go to sleep without losing a story line. After a helping of Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul, I know I will go to sleep with good thoughts and hope and no fear of bad dreams. My favorite story is toward the end of the book, "Hussy Sunsets". My thanks go to Jack Canfield, et all for bringing joy and humor to my nightstand.

Summary: Above most servings, but still far below the first one
Review: Perhaps the words "for the Unsinkable Soul" had misled me to over expect, I was quite disappointed. The stories are relatively plain and uninteresting. It's a complete stereotype of the first three servings, but with much less glamour and appeal. In case you are still very satisfied with the third serving, which I believe only people who had completed the first three servings would look for a book like this, go for it. If you had already been tired of the third one after the first two, this book is not for you.

Summary: Okay, but nowhere near as good as its predecessors
Review: This book is okay, but nowhere near as good as its predecessors. It is comprised of short stories -- often rather verbose short stories -- rather than the short, meaningful passages in the earlier Chicken Soup books. The earlier books are studded with post-it stickers saving the innumerable passages I want to reread or frame, and I frequently think back to those wonderful passages. Not these -- there isn't a single post-it sticker in the entire book, and I'm donating it to the charity fair since there's nothing worth rereading. To be fair, I suppose that this might prove helpful to someone overwhelmed by insurmountable problems and in need of reading sappy boring story after sappy boring story -- but I, myself, was much more humbled and inspired by the earlier volumes.

Summary: Okay, but nowhere near as good as its predecessors
Review: This is a compilation of different stories that with different narrators might stir up some emotions, but it is a lousy listen. Even most of the stories are abit of a stretch to pull emotions out of the listener. My feeling after listening to this CD was that the publishers are rushing to get titles out with the hot 'Chicken Soup' name on it. Anticipating it will sell. I felt ripped off.
