Chicken soup for the soul was a great adventure. It took my imagination on a fun roller coaster ride. It took me back to sad times as well as happy times. Some of the stories related to my life and others made me appreciate my life. At times It was very emotional, exiting, sad, and happy. The three things that stood out to me the most were the various authors, its styled chapters and last but last least the many morals I learned from the book. Chicken soup for the soul is 101 different stories of love, life and learning. Some of the best selling authors wrote in this book such as jack canfield, mark victor Hanson, and Kimberly kirburger. The book also featured authors my age and younger that I can relate to. Chapters in the book were styled with poems. The section on relationships had a poem by kaleel Jamison. When I finished this book I walked away with a lot of lessons learned. So overall it was an excellent book.

Bestselling authors as well as celebrities such as NSYNC, Bill Cosby, and even Jennifer Love Hewitt. contributed to making what is now a series of the chicken noodle soup book for the soul. What I liked the most was that their were authors my age writing about things that related to the problems in my life. Their were also very young authors which really made me realized that you can write a great story about your life no matter how old you are. There were also celebrities that wrote in the book as well and they also wrote about stuff that I really related to. Reading this book I learned that anybody any age can tell a story and express their feeling through writing.

Achieving dreams, friendship, attitude and perspective, love and life were on a few of the chapter themes in the book. Each chapter was laced with a poem to express the theme. My favorite poem was about friendship. Each poem gave the chapter the perfect introduction as to what the chapter was going to be about. The chapter was filled with stories from different authors writing about the theme. Stories told by real people talking about their life stories and situations. I thing these chapters are were designed to somehow connect with the readers individual life situations and fell them in with some kind of comfort to let them know that theirs other people out there going through or previously went through the same thing.

After reading the book I had learned so many things and even mentally reinforced some of the morals that I was already accustomed to. One of the thing I learned from this book was to cherish life and live each day as if it were your last because you never know what the next day can bring. The back of the book features a couple of pages that have lists of lessons learned throughout the book.

In conclusion I really enjoyed the books various authors, styled chapters, and the many lessons I learned. Each version of these set of books are made to touch a certain person. Make them open to new solutions and make them aware that many people experience exactly what their going through… well you gotta experience the whole package so go get the book…
