This self-help book seems very well written. I think I just might give it a try.

Great, concise and wisdom loaded book! You definitely want to read this.

I'm not really a fan of self-help books but your review has made this book seem interesting despite the errors and poor editing.

Great review. This sounds like a really interesting book. I enjoyed the Chicken Soup for the Soul books very much. Just picking one up to read a bit here and there could usually give me a smile when needed. I’m looking forward to giving this book a look see. I really hope that it gets the editing it so desperately needs. It is always a shame when a book that is full of errors takes it from being a fantastic book to a frustrating one. Thanks for sharing.

Normally I am not an avid reader of self-help books, but I think that I might be willing to give this book a chance. The editorial issues sound annoying but hopefully, they won't be too much of a distraction. The short stories sound promising so I'm going to give this book a chance.

I am a bit concerned that I will not enjoy the book due to the punctuation errors, but your description of the uplifting content persuaded me to give it a try. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for your review. This sounds like a great "feel good" book. It would be one to take traveling for when you have short layovers and want a good story to keep you entertained.

Despite not being a big fan of self help books, I feel like this one doesn't sound that bad! I like how the author decided to split the book into eight different sections, perfect for flipping back through to find a part of the book you really enjoyed! Although this isn't my kind of genre, I do feel like it's a great quick read that might help some people out, a bonus if you get if for free!

With that many errors this is a hard pass from me. I can't stand when books have typos like that. I can forgive one or two, but when they're distracting, I'm out.

Run-on sentences are a pet peeve of mine and I was never really a fan of the Chicken Soup for Soul books. So, I think I will skip this one. Thanks for the review.

I love it, especially the constructive criticism part that deals with punctuation errors, Paul E. Kotz was honest without been clouded by sentiments. Regardless of the mistakes, the moral of the book is what matters to me.

sounds like a great read. i won't ever say no to life lessons and this book seems full of them. too bad there are noticeable errors but i think the "cute stories" are well enough to make me ignore them completely. looking forward to reading this one. great review as always.
