Leo Buscaglia has a great way of drawing you into the topic with this book. His examples and descriptions will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. His description of loving another person really makes you want to have that sort of relationship with another person. He offers great insights to human behavior and emotions. When you are finished you will want to go back and read it again with someone you love. That is what I did. My husband bought the book after taking a class in college that recommended it. He set it aside to read later and so I found it one day and sat down to read it. Very easy to read! I liked it so much I suggested he read a chapter at a time and we discuss it. We both loved it and it did help us get closer as a couple.
