If you are considering this book, do yourself a favor: Google for your quotes; you'll get a lot more for your unspent money. In part, the Acknowledgements section states: "Some...may be imperfectly worded or attributed." What is the point of a quotation book that (1) doesn't get the quote correct, and (2) doesn't get the author correct? This is a QUOTE book, not an opinion book or a paraphrase book, so one might think that the correct quote and author would matter, but I guess not. If Danny Boy couldn't verify a quote or source, could he have used a replacement quote ... like one of the tens of thousands that I can get for free from several dozen websites? This guy has found a short road to publication, and it's paved with laziness, carelessness, and lack of responsibility. His publishers should also be held responsible, but, hey, why should we let a little thing like accuracy stand in the way of greed.

This is a perfect coffee table book to pick up anytime you are feeling stressed, sad, angry, or down. You could turn to almost any page and find yourself a quote that provides inspiration, or just makes you smile.

Great gift idea as well - it's small and is the perfect companion for a birthday card or care package!

The message is simple, and Zadra does a great job of reminding us that there isn't enough time to waste it being unhappy.
