Summary: Book Review: Chicken Soup for the Soul
Review:

The book "Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 Stories to Openthe Heart & Rekindle the Spirit" is an excellent book.The book was originally given to me by a friend who thought that I "would enjoy it". Me, the person who genuinely dislikes reading any kind of book for pleasure, "enjoy" this book. Definately not me, I thought to myself.

I had to travel on a business trip alone, therefore I took the book along (just in case I got extremely bored). Thoughtout my trip, the book didn't get cracked open. I found other things to do with my time, than read a book.

Yet, on my return flight, my reservations were mixed up for some reason or another. Therefore, I ended up having a 4 1/2 hour layover in the Dallas Airport. Being upset, I didn't even want to shop. I also didn't want to look out of place, so, I opened the book and started glancing at first, pretending to read.

Then all of a sudden, as if a magnet were pulling me closer, I began to read the first short story in the book. It was so real and inspiring that I continued to read. I couldn't wait to flip a page. As a matter of fact, I was really thirsty. Not wanting to put the book down, I continued reading. Every story hit close to home and I could relate to most everything being read.

At one point, I heard a young man say "I think you could use this tissue more than I can", as he handed me a tissue. Looking up at him, I noticed that my eyes were filled with tears. The story I had been reading was so real that I found myself crying and feeling the characters emotions. Being a little embarrased (but not much), I explained how I typically do not shed a tear for most books. I told the young man how this book was so capturing and inspiring, that it pulls you in and holds your mind,emotions, and attention captive. He laughed and said something to the effect of "most women cry over mushy things".

Sitting next to me, he read over my shoulder as I continued to read. When I finished the short story, I turned and looked and him and noticed that he too had tears in his eyes. I didn't say a word, but the spiritual emotions were evident. We were both captured by this wonderful book.

Till this day, I thank my friend for giving me this book. I have also given a copy of this same book to many friends (the first one, being my new friend that I met at the Dallas Airport that day).

I highly recommend this book to everyone, it will rekindle the spirit of everyone who reads it (especially the ones who think that this is just another one of the "mushy" books.

If I could, I would put a money back guarantee if not fully satisfied on this book. That is how much I enjoyed reading it.

Thank You, and I hope that you have the opportunity to pick up this book and give it a chance, I did and I loved it.

Summary: Heartwarming
Review: A heartwarming series of short essays illustrating life and the many ways people add a little more color to the experience. You'll want to hug some of the people you'll read about; it's hard not to be touched by some of the stories.

Summary: Absolutely Refreshing
Review: A truly heartwarming book that will uplift and encourage even the most hardened heart. It is a refreshing book that will help make your day and other peoples day better just because you picked it up and read a few pages, but beware you need to take it in small doses because it is so emotionally power packed. When you are done reading this book you will know for sure that ANY Dream you have really can come true. This is a book of hope, courage, dreams and inspiration which will motivate you and leave you a changed person. Absolutely one of the Ten Best Books I have ever read and I've read alot. -Polly A. Coen

Summary: FOR A BETTER WORLD, READ AND BE TOUCHED....
Review: Although i have not bought this yet, I will... I worked on a children's camp all last summer, and somehow i'd gone though my life and never heard of this book. It is amazing, the children i was looking after requested it to be read from every night, and one story was never enough (as you will see). They all had their own copies, and if only they all learnt something from the stories they read and listened to then they are going to grow up to be amazing people. Everybody should read from this book and be touched. Maybe it can help to make a better world, you never know!

Summary: A wonderful book for all ages and races
Review: Chicken Soup for the soul is a wonderful book for all ages and races. I recently sang at a nursing home with my friend, and I read one of the stories. Everybody loved it. I even noticed some people with tears in their eyes. The story really effected them, as it did me. After singing that day, a man came up to me and told me he could sing too, and then he began singing one of my favorite songs from "My Fair Lady". It is my own story that really touched me, and I think could be in a Chicken Soup for the Soul book.

Summary: It's a wonderful book
Review: Chicken Soup for the soul is wonderful! I didn't believe it when my friend told me to read this book, but now I know that my friend was right.
Since I bought this book from a bookstore, I started to read it and found out why my friend told me to read this book. This book has powers. The powers that will inspire, support, and cheer you up when you fell. The stories in this book will show you something you may never think about it, or it may be something that you forget to do to your love ones. I, myself, during I was reading this book, I had a lot of problems about my classes and homework. I was so tired and sometimes I felt like I don't want to study anymore (I know this is sound stupid). However, after I read the story of a boy who wrote "his life list", I realized that life is more than school and homework, and I shouldn't be discouraged with some little problems.
Another story in this book that I like it very much is about father and daughter who have their "heart song" that keep them connected to each other even one of them can't speak. When I first finished this story, I had some fears. I feared that if one day my father couldn't tell me he loves me, how am I going to do? Something in this story told me that I should treat people around me very nice, and tell them that I love them before I never had a chance to say.
I'm glad I have read this book. I think if someone tell you to read this book, they mean you should read it. After you finish this book you may see the world in the way you've ever seen before.

Review: Chicken Soup for the soul was about as good as a book can get. You read about people's experiences and how things worked out in the end. There are several diffrent chapters in the story and then in each chapter there are many short stories. if you like to read short stories this is the book for you!
