Official Review: Like Saving Summer in a Jar by Amy Mathis

[stacie k]

I love, love, LOVE the title! It's so good to read your review about a book of happy memories and useful life lessons. Also, University of MD is my university, I went crabbing with my family as a child, had huge family reunions in a small lake house, and had a relative that put her three boys in an orphanage for a while after their dad died. Wow. I think I should read this.

Wow! How amazing that you can identify with so many elements of this book! I also loved the title! Thank you for your comment!

I occasionally enjoy memoirs, especially when they relate to the topics you described. Thanks for the recommendation.

I hope you do get a chance to read and enjoy it. I appreciate the comment!

I like this sentence "We can learn from people’s lives as we observe them, noting pitfalls to avoid or examples to follow" and this book tells everything by revolving round this sentence. Thanks for your nice review

I have never tried any Memoir. But I think this one is likeable!

Great review! It’s nice for once to read about a children's home where the children are happy. We get far too much of the other nowadays.

I think I would like the country life aspect of the story as well as the life lessons. It sounds enjoyable.

It's quite unfortunate lots of people don't know that the only short cut in life is teachability. Youths of today wants quick money and wealth. This is a book everyone must read. Thanks for the review.

Jimmy's life story is very interesting. I enjoy such light mood memoirs very much. So I am thinking to give this a try. Thanks for this great review.
