This sounds like an uplifting book, but the grammar mistakes make me not want to read. Thanks for your review!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I had my share of bad days. On these days, "adulting" becomes almost unbearable. It's great to have books like these that give out positive vibes and help calm the mind. Thank you for your review!

A self-help book really isn't my scene. However, I really enjoyed the review. It's a pity about the errors, I hope something has been done about it.

This sounds like a great, enlightening read and something almost all of us can relate too. Such a shame about the errors though, I would definitely find that very distracting!

I don't usually gravitate towards non-fiction "self help" books, rather I enjoy reading to escape real life. However, after reviewing this sample, I would consider reading Something Happened Today. Many of his comments hit close to home, and I could see myself enjoying reading how he handled them. Sometimes others experiences can help you when you are struggling or feeling lost.

This author seems to have a nice way of building pictures in the readers minds to project positivity. I have to agree with you on the editing being lacking. I read the sample pages, and while I enjoyed that, I could not get past the poor formatting and lack of punctuation in places. Maybe once that is done, it would be one that I would enjoy more. Thanks for this review. It seems like it has great potential.

I would not like to read and review this book because I am serious about grammatical or typographical errors. They make the reading slow and destructive for me to fully concentrate.

I loved the review, it sounds like a book I would read especially based on the excerpt you put in. A bit hesitant though considering the grammar issue but I might give it a try to see if its at a tolerable level

This review is perfect timing. The fall has brought me some blues and I think this book will help with that based on your review. I can always appreciate people who can convey truths with a positive message since truths are not always sunny side up! It sounds like this author has that down packed so I'm looking forward to it. This book is next on my list to read.

Your review gave me crisp idea about the book content and how well it is presented. Bit sad that there are some shortcomings regarding the grammar that did not meet the requirements, but on the other hand it has cute and humorous stories about the day to day life of the author Paul E. Kotz, which makes it interesting to read. Glad to see that this book sheds lights on important truths about life and make one feel lighthearted at same time.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

In as much as the reviewer has praises for the book, I think a book with so many editorial floors isn't worth it. I don't think I want to read it.
