Re: Review of Everyone Needs a Companion

Post by Jorge Leon Salazar »

I rarely come across books that address the problems of older people with this emotional, practical, and optimistic approach. We will all get old at some point and we can learn from Ben. I found it great that a girl and an old man help each other in their problems which are in line with the stages of their lives.

This comes across as a beautiful story. We all need a companion, but that does not mean we go with the first person we meet. There needs to be compatibility and common interests. If Ben and Harriet get together, I hope it's because they actually want to and not out of necessity. I'm interested in knowing how their story progresses and the role Shirley plays in it. Great review!

Since we all will get old one day, I think the book gives an insight into what old age looks like. Most importantly the challenges that come with it. Congratulations on being the book of the day!

:? :idea: Ultimately, this story shows the wisdom of both youth and maturity just in the way Shirley helped Ben and vice versa.

I realized how important it is to have a hobby that adds purpose and enjoyment to one’s life.

This is some romantic story, I must admit, LOVE is what everyone is looking for, a true companionship for life.
I always wish Love finds me, Because I have tried to find true Love and I only get busted into people and their problems. and that left the question if true love actually exist in this world?

The book starts with the news that his wife is dying. I find it quite sad. However, after reading your review it is clear that the book will be of inspiration to those that have also lost a partner. Thank you for a great review.

This was the very first book I reviewed. I enjoyed the book immensely. The author has managed to beautifully present the various issues that one faces in the latter stages of their lives. Life becomes especially hard when one looses their better half. It takes courage and willingness to start anew. Great review.

I can’t wait to grow old with my husband, but death is evident. I can’t begin to comprehend how loved ones cope during this time. This book sounds very emotional and filled with life lessons. Thank you for your review.

Thus is a wonderful book that offers readers a chance to peek into the lives of senior folks. What are their fears and hopes? Do they feel overwhelmed by their age? Apart from this the book also discuss about gardening and farming. Both young and old readers can relate to it.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉
