5.0 out of 5 stars Great Conversation Starters, June 11, 2008

This review is from: Love Talk Starters: 275 Questions to Get Your Conversations Going (Paperback)

My husband and I really enjoy this book. It is a companion piece to the Love Talks series. It is just a book of questions. And after 16 years of marriage, we were surprised to find out the things we didn't know about each other. There are questions about childhood experiences. Questions about how you feel about the relatioship. And questions about what you appreciate in your spouse etc.

A few of the questions have sparked some "lively" conversation. Many have been just full of fun.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get to know their spouse better or just to enjoy the art of conversation in a relationship.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok, July 23, 2007

Book Lover "MGS" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love Talk Starters: 275 Questions to Get Your Conversations Going (Paperback)

It is just pages of questions, about one per page. Although they are good conversation starters, there are no follow up or game-type questions. But for a book of one liner questions, its ok.
