5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended for those who need a boost-up in life, May 4, 1998

By A Customer

This book has made me cry, laugh, and think about life clearly. It touched my heart to read all those wonderful, soul inspiring stories. When I'm going through a rough time, I know that a good helping of chiken soup will warm me up and help me think over my problems. Reading Chicken Soup For the Soul and A Second Helping has inspired me to read on until I bought your latest book, A fifth portion. Bring on some more helpings!

5.0 out of 5 stars A heartwarming book that I would recommend to anyone!!, July 9, 1998

By A Customer

I really enjoyed this 2nd helping of chicken soup. Every story reaches out to you and you can relate closely to so many. In fact, one story in particular was very, very touching. It made both my husband and me cry. It was a story about a dog that meant alot to a woman and her experiences with that dog and then the sad end to the dog's life. Well, it just so happened that I read that story to my husband on the eve of our one year anniversary of losing our family dog of thirteen years. It was so like our experience that it sent a shiver down your spine and finally we both cried. It was as if our dog was saying hi to us in his own way, that we hadn't forgotten him. Anyways, I love all the stories in your books. I've read Chicken Soup and now a 2nd helping. So, now I am reading Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul. I can't wait to read them all!! Thank you soooooo much for these wonderful books to read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes it's best to stop at one helping, November 4, 1997

By A Customer

I expected the 2nd Helping to be more of the first--a good, light, uplifting book that I could give to anyone for Christmas or if they wre having a hard time. I got the 2nd helping and found it to be depressing and full of backhanded insults. Full of stories of parents who go to extraordinary lengths for their children, I think it might make less self-extending parents feel guilty for not doing such things. Yet everyday, ordinary parenting--and even living honestly and with integrity--is quite an accomplishment.
