5.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read...
A beautiful book! I loved the humor and insight; even my 14 year old son enjoyed it, and there's a tough audience. You'll be very glad you got this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nuns have more fun
This book is more like a "rule of life" than suggestions for specific fun things to do, like going skydiving or riding the world's biggest roller coaster. Of course, calling it a "rule of life" wouldn't be much fun, now, would it? Among all the frivolity (not that there's anything wrong with frivolity) she slips in a few ideas that could be construed...

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, often humorous way to put life into perspective, June 23, 1997
By A Customer
A wonderful book! Karol Jackowski combines humor with profound insights about life. She shares ways to accept our responsibilities in life with joy.

I read this book several years ago and still return to it frequently. It is like taking a quiet retreat from the busy, hectic world

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique blend of humor and insight., July 29, 1999
By A Customer
Nuns were never like this when I was young. Sister Jackowski writes with humor and wisdom about having fun with God. I found it insightful and thought-provoking. Many, many good ideas for improving your life. I highly recommend it to everyone, but especially Catholics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little book packed with lots of wisdom, November 29, 2000
By 
This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
Sister Karol's book is one of my all time favourites and something I can return to time and time again for inspiration. It isn't a heavy, dry read in the least, something one might perhaps expect of a Catholic nun. She is fun, witty and occasionally somewhat irreverent (in the best possible way). Infact, I think I'd like to invite her to my next party...:)

This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
This tiny book could tease a smile and a twinkle of satisfaction from someone long thought to be emotionally dead! I would really like to have a meal and watch a TV show with this author!

By A Customer
This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
Sister Karol's book is a delight! Wonderfully funny and insightful. I most enjoyed the author's unique illustrations, which perfectly complement each page. It's a book I can return to again and again! Who would have thought a nun could be so much fun?

5.0 out of 5 stars Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die, July 14, 2000
This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
Author Karol Jackowski has a way of sharing her life AND bringing out our common experiences. This book points out simple, some unique, ideas we've come to overlook, and helps us find our way to enjoy life for the little things. Then the big things follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Funny Book, May 29, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
This unique and very personal small "help book" has helped me immensely. The author's down-to-earth and whimsical style keep the reader eager to absorb all the wisdom Sister Karol is sharing with us. I'm sending her book to as many friends as I can (if only the stores do not run out of it)which seems to be happening a lot!

This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
It is fun to meet an author who uses humor to convey a serious message. I am giving thought to use of my time while on this mortal coil since reading this small book. It will make a thoughtful gift to someone who finds themselves in a "waiting room" environment. Each chapter is a complete thought. Good price... thank you all.

This review is from: Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die (Paperback)
This is the kind of book that I want to buy 20 copies of and give to all my friends. Maybe some day I will. I read it over and over again. It's a great book. I love all of Sister's books.
