A 4th Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul (Chicken Soup for the Soul)
Review Date: 5/29/2008


"This book is a collection of very short stories---more like essays. Some stories are sad, some are inspiring, some are just cute. Since the chapters are quick and each chapter "stands alone" it would be perfect to take to take to any waiting room, or plane or train. If you read any other Chicken Soup books, you will like this book."

"Three stars is more than generous for Patterson's latest thriller. I usually enjoy the Women's Murder Club series, but this latest installment just didn't measure up. I think that Patterson should go back to writing the books solo, and not have co-authors."

"This is the first book I read by this author. It was a real page turner and was very well written by a veteran attorney. I'm looking forward to more of her books."

"If you are an Elvis fan, you will enjoy this book. The story is about a man who lives in Memphis in 1977. Everyone thinks he looks like Elvis. He was born on January 8, 1935. Enough said. This book is a very quick and easy read."

"The 5th installment this series was not as good as the previous four books. The author continued to misspell the word "dessert" when he wrote about what we eat after dinner. Just remember you want extra "dessert" (the extra "s") This happened at least 5 times. You would think that someone would have used spell check.
That being said, I found the plot/story line to be flat. The previous 4 books had interesting characters and the story "flowed" along.
He should stick with writing about his friends in Sarasota."

"I really enjoyed this book. For the over 50 year old woman. It was like a family saga, only the instead of family it was about 5 women who lived on a cul de sac and had a love for reading. The book told of their trials and tribulations, some funny, some sad. It was about friendship and the joys and sorrows that these women shared."

"Good book. The ending might not be what you would want, but it was a realistic ending. Not everything in life is fair, and this was just a good example of the way things really are in this world."
