Although I _LOVED_ the stories in the other books of this series (and highly recommend the other books), I was very disappointed with this one. Perilously few "reached" or "touched" me as they had in the earlier books.

A 5th Portion of Chicken Soup for the soul is an extremely excellent book because it teaches unique lessons.

Sequels are supposed to be worse than the original copy, but this book must be the exception that makes the rule. Awesome book! Please-more stories with surprise endings. This book had some very predictable stories.

I think that this book was terrific, even though there were other Chicken Soup books that I thought were better. Almost all of the stories had a moral in them and the ones in the end especially made me cry. I think that the Chicken Soup books will be great just like they are now in the years to come.

If nothing else these books are a great inspirational experience to people who take the time to read these books. They are great reading and should be made for years to come.

I've read other Chicken Soup for the Soul books before, but this one isn't as good in my opinion. I can see how other people might enjoy the book, but I didn't. Some of the stories seemed lengthy and without a point, but while reading other stories I wanted to beg for more details because the story was so short. The topics of the stories were good choices and would bring inspiration to some of the people who read them. Some stories didn't seem to fit their topic though and didn't have quite enough detail.

I especially liked the sections "A Matter of Perspective" and Overcoming Obstacles." The stories in these two sections made you look (if only for a few seconds) at life in a little different way. The stories showed how attitude and strong beliefs could help you through some of the most difficult times in your life.

One part of the books I really didn't like was the fact that several of the stories were about death. When suffering a loss stories like those can be inspirational but too many stories in that topic gets depressing in my opinion.

I think this book is a good Chicken Soup for the Soul book. I also think that the other Chicken Soup for the Soul books were better.

The book was in mint condition as stated in the description of the book. I would definitely purchase from them again.

I will treasure this book always. I began reading the ( CHICKEN SOUP ) books when the first came out. I think that they are a very positive that these books shall endure for a long time. This is my favorite of all of these books. I would call these two ( Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen ) ... INSPIRED ... for their contribution to this WORLD.
