The book "Life Lessons from Mayberry" is an excellent choice for any fan of the Andy Griffith Show. This book gives direct quotes from the show and also sums up the episode that the quote originated from. It also contains pages of a dialogue between two characters that, just like the quotes, give a lesson to learn from. I suggest this book to any reader who : 1) enjoys Andy Griffith shows & 2) needs any direction or support in their life. Good Reading to ya!

The concept for this book is excellent. The Andy Griffith Show is full of life lessons to be drawn and shared. The content of the book, however, was miles short of Mayberry. Many of the "lessons" lacked a clear connection to an episode, leaving me to figure it out for myself. To quote Briscoe Darling, this book "ain't worth the pain."

Any fan of The Andy Griffith Show will absolutely love this book. Content is inspirational and very well done. Cover photo is beautiful.

The premise of this book is great. However, it was poorly done. Many of the references make incorrect references to the show and are simply wrong (e.g., quotes attributed to the wrong people, references to story lines that really didn't happen that way, etc.). I started keeping track of these errors and got so disgusted I simply quit reading.

Take a trip back to Mayberry, North Carolina, where some of life's most important questions can be answered simply by visiting Floyd's barbershop of Sheriff Andy Taylor's shady front porch. The timeless truths of Life's Lessons from Mayberry were gathered from episodes of the Andy Griffith Show.. ..
