Customer Reviews

Really does touch the soul!
This book is the best book i have read this year.

Although it has a strange title,it really does give you a warm feeling inside when you read the stories of love at the beginning of the book and i became emotionally involved in this book.

It makes you cry with happiness and sadness.It makes you realise how special life is and how you should appreciate everything in life while you can as you never know when things will change.I recommend every section in this book, love- makes you feel warm inside,attitude & self esteem- makes you feel you can do anything ,overcoming obstacles- makes you feel lucky and appreciate life as other people have it a lot worse.

I enjoyed this book so much and intend to read all in the series. If you really need a book to cheer you up and make you feel good about yourself then this is the one to get it really does open your heart and rekindle your spirit!

Touching, but repetitive
This book was better than I had imagined it would be. Many of the stories included brought a smile to my face. However, I had to spread my reading of the book out over five months because I found the stories somewhat repetitive. I am not belittling the heartbreak many of the writers seem to share, but after a while it felt a little bit whiny rather than enlightening.

So far not so good!
I have only read first 5 stories in the book and I can't be bothered to read on. Don't get me wrong, I am a sensitive, ridiculously sentimental person, my book/dvd collection is full of cheesy feel-good numbers but the cheesiness of this book is more than I can take.
