Book Description

October 1, 2004
In Friends to the End, I have tried to address some of the profound and amusing aspects of friendship in a way that offers pause for thought and more than a few reasons to laugh out loud. I hope this little book helps us all appreciate those people in our lives whom we both adore and sometimes want to strangle, but at the end of the day, we simply couldn't live without--our friends." --Bradley Trevor Grieve

Friends and life. Life and friends. The two are so tightly interwoven it's impossible to imagine one being remotely worthwhile without the other. As Bradley Trevor Greive points out, "There are very few truly solitary creatures on this planet. And most of them have serious personal hygiene issues."

What makes friends so special? What does our choice of friends say about us? What sparks the best friendships and keeps them burning? In Friends to the End: The True Value of Friendship, BTG uses his trademark witty narrative illustrated with irresistible animal photos to explore the daily magic we experience through our friends. Best described as a cross between his famously successful Dear Mom and The Blue Day Book, Friends to the End examines themes such as why we can't live without friends, how great friendships grow from humble beginnings, how to identify different types of friendship, what to do when good friends turn bad, and why it's all so worthwhile.

"When I think back to all the really great or the horrendously bad times in my life," says BTG, "I can't help but think about how my friends made the former all the more enjoyable and the latter at least survivable. I want this book to help people appreciate friendship for all it is and all it can be.

More About the Author

Since the debut of his international best-seller The Blue Day Book, Bradley Trevor Greive has become an international publishing sensation. A former Australian paratrooper, BTG left the army to pursue more creative misadventures. He has been bitten by wild monkeys and rabid bats and was accepted into the Russian cosmonaut program--though those incidents hopefully were unrelated. He spends most of his time in a tiny Tasmanian hamlet with his three very large dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it. Best $10 you can spend., July 3, 2005
This review is from: Friends to the End: The True Value of Friendship (Hardcover)
You cannot get a better message and uplifting photos for $10. It is such a bargin. Yes, I know the preview here at Amazon does not show you much, but this little book will inspire you, make you think about life, and is a wonderful little gift to a friend or loved one. It is also fine for children. I like "Tomorrow," "Blue Day" (perfect for friends feeling sad), and "Friends to the End." I love this author work and if he is reading this, thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the Savory Moments with Cuteness and Wisdom, May 28, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Friends to the End: The True Value of Friendship (Hardcover)
This book is a cute and wise display of every facet of friendship. It covers not only the fun and intimate rewards of friends, but also those areas that rub us raw and make us want to go running away screaming. Doing so with the marvelous pictures captures the savory moments and makes beautiful light of the joy in long-standing friends.

I bought this for an entire circle of friends as momentos for whom I wanted something very special to capture the depth we had just gained with each other in working through difficulty and refinement with each other. It was absolutely perfect as a treasure gift.

You will love this book, and the pictures will leave you roaring with laughter, yet cooing with sentiment.
