It's truly a heartwarming story as I could infer from this great review. While I read through it, I could reminisce to my childhood days. I'll surely enjoy reading the book.

Excellent review! The 50s-60s were my era. The book sounds like a beautiful compilation of stories I am sure would bring back many memories from my childhood years. You are right that we don't see family times now as we did then. It was a much simpler time, and I am sure the stories in this book will resonate with many who read it! Thanks for the excellent recommendation!

I love these types of memoirs; short snippets of the author's life. It sounds like the author used humor to describe what went on in his family life in the 50s and 60s. Thanks for the wonderful review!

I like memoirs but never read it as short stories. It would be interesting to try since the review speaks so well about this book.

I enjoyed the anecdotal style of this writing. The quick descriptions in each chapter make for a quick read, but the vibrant descriptions make it easy to see the scene, but also feel it.

I always liked to discover life from different perspective through experiences of strangers. Memoirs are great genre for that purpose. Thank you for sharing your live with us!

A collection of 27 stories filled with humor and revolving around the themes of family devotion, faith, and community. It is also well edited. Glad you enjoyed it, but I will pass on this one as I don't read memoirs. Thank you for the detailed review, Cecilia!

So relaxed, so nice, so nostalgic! Your review gives readers a taste of what to expect. It confirms my impressions from reading the sample. Indeed this is a book not to miss, as I fall into the category of those
in the mood for a collection of feel-good stories.

Great work, perfect reflection of the author's ability to recall the past and make it match the present of a reader. From my observation, having read through the review: IT'S ALL GOOD sustains the energy to stand the test of time. I Recommend it for all writers of life stories and history.

Latest Review: Voices of liberty in tribute to the American revolution by Robert Keiper

Post by AntonelaMaria »

This sounds like really heartwarming and emotional book. I find it exceptional that the author chose to write about "happy memories that he doesn't want to forget". Usually, we are filled with negative memories and things that left us with scars. We all need to remember the happier times. Great review!!
