5.0 out of 5 stars How about 6 stars! You won't be sorry..., August 30, 1999

By	Carol ([e-mail]) (Salt Lake City, Utah) - See all my reviews

I am a lover of books, and this one tops them all. Mr. Walker has an unparalleled ability to present important thoughts about daily life in a very humorous and poignant way -- all at the same time. He writes about real life in a way that anyone can relate to and get in touch with their own experiences. Don't miss this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Title, July 20, 2000

By	Mrs Jan K Keen (Goshen, IN United States) - See all my reviews

Just to read the title of "How Can You Mend a Broken Spleen?: Home Remedies for an Ailing World" says it all! I purchased the book through Amazon.com and received it just before a 22 hour trip by car to Ft.Myers Beach, FL. I'm usually bored out of my mind with car trips, but the minute I opened the book and began to read it, I couldn't put it down. Since my husband was the chauffeur, I just HAD to read several stories to him and he enjoyed it too. The Author should definitely receive 5 GOLD STARS for this book.
