IT'S JUST AS GOOD AS THE TITLE
598835
This book will speak to your heart, no matter what stage of life, and no matter what situation you're encountering, no matter what decisions you are facing, little ones or major ones.
It's for everyone. That is what makes this book such a keeper. It's a book that you would want to read again and again especially if you need courage to get out of the boat. It's written in such a way that leaves room for God to speak to your heart in His own way. Buy several cuz after reading it, you'll want others to read it also.
GREAT BOOK!!

This book has one of the greatest titles ever. I considered giving it 4 or 5 stars for the meaning behind the title alone.

As has been mentioned, this book is the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution with a poem for each individual word. Five minutes after I post this review I'll regret whichever number of stars I choose. Some of the poems I don't get, and they don't add anything to the overall scope of the book. One of the "the" poems, for instance. Others work amazingly well. All are brief. You could read this book five times a day without wasting your life away.

Capturing not so much the heart(s) of a nation, but the reality of a nation as diverse as the USA in so few words is impressive. Blind flagwavers will have problems with this book because it effectively gets to what has become the American Truth behind some of these words but the Truth is not what gets taught in American History classes.

Benka asks more than condemns. We are a box of longing with 50 drawers but the drawers aren't closed yet.

Soft Skull Press has so many great, interesting or powerful books. When visiting their website you'll always stumble across something that sounds like it has potential. I bought this at the same time as&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Surviving-the-Moment-of-Impact/dp/1887128867/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Surviving the Moment of Impact</a>, which is more direct than this. That book is total heart. This one is more conceptual.

This is just as good as the Care and Keeping of You for younger girls. It goes into a bit more detail and is written at a slightly higher reading level. Some of the information is identical to the other, but it's necessary information so I can see why it was left that way--if a girl didn't have the first book you'd want that info in there. And there's not so much that there's no reason to buy this one if you have the first one.

My daughter has both and loves both of them. I love that they are well-written, well thought-out, and age appropriate. The only thing that made me scratch my head was the instructions on how to check for breast cancer. How often do teens need to worry about this? I guess better safe than sorry, but make sure you explain to your daughter that this is very, very rare for young girls.

Overall, I definitely recommend this series.

I keep re-writing this review to make it sound academically correct. Actually what I want to say is the book is great, it's fun, it contains great information. Everyone needs to read it. Don't be apprehensive about the title it doesn't go into the technical weeds.

This book is fantastic in its variations and ease of reading. There aren't many ingredients that are too hard to find for purchase. If you're just thinking about buying it and aren't sure, buy it. If you've looked at it, you know the premise and this book delivers.

Kate Moore, as usual, lovely reading. As sweet as the title, and not disappointing.

I love the title and could not wait to purchase for a couple of my long time friends.  Humor keeps the spirit alive and giving it is even better yet.  A winner.

A continuation of the story presented in volume one so, just as good as that one.

Haven't actually finished this yet but what I've read is excellent. It goes on for ever, of course, which is good. They could have come up with a shorter title, though.
I really like it.

It is what it is. I really needed this because my old version didn't have all of the new technologies covered (e-books, etc.). It's as good as it ever was!

When I read the reviews before purchasing this book I wasn't so sure it would be worth it, but it was just as good as the first. Except the first one left me wanting more, and this one just left me saying "awww". Very good read.

I can't complain. The book delivered just what the title said it would. Nothing I'd pay for, mind you, but worth the price I bought it for.

Just as enjoyable as the first volume. It has the same type of material, same format, so if you have the first then no surprises here. Good quality production.

I finally read this for the first time. It is just as good as I'd hoped it would be. This book is a classic because it works on several levels--as allegory, as social commentary, and as just plain good storytelling. What more can I say that hasn't already been said?

How can you pass on a book without a title. The book is objective and motivating to simply read.

I would happily recommend it, at times it goes on slight tangents, though the chapters are that small that the next story soon takes over.

A must have!

I have other titles in the 101 Things series, and this is great--easy, good-tasting--and it's all about bacon!  The title alone is worth 4 stars, and the recipes make it worth a fifth star.  I'd take a star off because there's no nutritional info with the recipes, but, again, if you're ordering a book full of bacon recipes, it can't be for the nutritional info.
