Summary: Chicken Soup for the Prisoners Soul?
Review: A wonderful collection of insightful and inspiring short stories from a variety of authors. Each and every story is filled with thoughtful inspiration and sharing.Sometimes I just have a few minutes to read a quick story and this is a great title to do that with. The stories are varied but the common theme is the strength of the human spirit. I also fully enjoyed the unique bio pages on all the contributors. Well done and easy to read!

Summary: Restoring my faith in Chicken Soup . . .
Review: After reading the hokey "Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul," I was a bit leery about reading another Chicken Soup book. I wasn't sure if the stories in Chicken Soup were ones that I could relate to my life and my experiences. But when I heard that the Chicken Soup people had published a book for the "unsinkable soul," I decided to give the books another try. As a mildly disabled person who has conquered many obstacles in my own childhood, I thought that if there was any characteristic that I related to, it would be triumph -- success -- unsinkability. Needless to say, I was very pleased with this book. There were stories that made me laugh, others that made me cry, and even more that made me think. My favorite story was called "The Flight of the Red-Tail," written by Penny Porter, an awesome author. The story narrates one family's attempt to save a bird struck by a vehicle. Although the bird had one bad wing and was on the brink of death, it was able to recover and eventually learned to fly. Also, Erma Bombeck's contributions to the book were especially poignant and inspiring. The book closes with her piece called "At Wit's End," which stresses the importance of living for today, not for tomorrow. Overall, the book proved to be a valuable source of encouragement, enlightenment, and inspiration. Even though I never wanted to put the book down, I finished each reading with an invigorating feeling. I was blown away at the combined power of the short stories and poems that compose this book. Even if you've felt let down by the Chicken Soup series in the past, I invite you to give "unsinkable soul" a try. I dare each and every reader to devour this book from cover to cover and then say that he or she wasn't moved or touched in some way by this book. "Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul" is incredibly powerful -- and highly recommended.

Summary: Chicken Soup for the Prisoners Soul?
Review: I bought this book for my son Ted who is in jail. I was looking for a book that would inspire him and tell him stories of other people who have overcome great hardships in life. My son said the book moved him deeply and brought tears to his eyes several times. Ted is a drug addict, suffers from serious depression and broke several laws. He was eventually jailed for his crimes. I believe that he has much potential but he made many unwise decisions and jail is the appropriate place for him to take his punishment.When he leaves jail he will then go to in-patient treatment for his drug problem. He will need all the strength and courage he can find. I want Ted to understand that he has the opportunity to change his life, that other people have overcome greater problems than he faces and I hoped this book would help. I think it did just that. If you know someone who is not making wise decisions, who feels life is unfair and needs the courage to take control of the their life--then this is the book for them. Buy it and give it to them. Who know, maybe you will help someone change their life.

Review: I have bought this book and have not quite yet finished reading it yet. The stories in it are great. I gave my first copy of the book away to a friend for her to read. I really recommend reading the story, A New Day for Dorothy. It is a moving story. Once again, this is a great book!!
