My mom is a serious collector of any 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' book. She never hesitates to hand them down for me to read, either. I LOVE these books, they're so inspirational and REAL. I always get a little heart tug and teary-eyed from it. This book has so many little stories, it's virtually impossible for anyone to get bored with it. They make awesome Christmas gifts, too. I recommend these books to everyone, especially if they're into heart-warming reads. They make you think and they change your outlook on life altogether. It's great for book clubs, too, because you can always relate on each little story this book has to offer. I never hesitate sitting back with a warm cup of coffee and read on for a few hours. This book is a must read.
