Heart Warming But Not A Must Read

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

If one is motivated by heart warming stories then yes I would. If one is motivated to loose weight then no. I have have been a fan of Jack Canfields motivation books so I thought I would try this one. Its gets a "Not So Much" rating for me. Does not give practical help towards my goals and didn't really motivated me either. But it is well written and if you like heart strings and warm fuzzies then this is the book for you.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It was a collection of stories so didn't really have a fav.

What about Joyce Bean and Buck Schirner ’s performance did you like?

They were good.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

NO
