Accessories: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: What a good idea all these Chicken Soup for the Soul books are! Instead of reading one book and hunting around for the most touching or uplifting passage, the Soup brigade of editors and writers scours the published world for brief excerpts, arranges them by category, and sells them by the kabillion. The spoon-size stories in Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul hit the spot and warm the heart. Take the case of Dame Margot Fonteyn, the legendary dancer. She fell madly for Latin lover Roberto Arias at 18 in 1937, but history flung them apart. He recourted her 14 years later, after he'd become Panama's ambassador to the UN. Five assassin's bullets crippled him, but not their romance: he watched from the wings in a stretcher as she took 43 curtain calls in Romeo and Juliet. "I feel it's rather a fair division," she said of their love. "He thinks. I move. You see, I love him." Another love-triumphing-over-paralysis chapter reprints the most stunning passage of Christopher Reeve's Still Me. The cartoons aren't great, but many of the celebrity quotes in the book are, like this one from Ursula K. Le Guin: "Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new." But one correction: the line "There is only one serious question ... how to make love stay" is from Tom Robbins, not "Tim Robbins." --Tim Appelo Product Description: Whether single, separated or someone's spouse, everyone wants to find and keep this elusive thing called "love". Bestselling author and foremost relationship expert Barbara De Angelis teams up as a coauthor of "Chicken Soup for the Couple's Soul", a collection of heartwarming stories about how real people discovered true love with the person of their dreams. With chapters on finding each other, intimacy, commitment, understanding, and overcoming obstacles, readers will find inspiration whether they're beginning a new relationship, hoping to work through a difficult one, or trying to recognize extraordinary moments in their lives. A sweet spoonful of this enchanting Chicken Soup collection will warm the hearts of the romantic readers everywhere. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - QUICK AND EASY!I ORDERED THIS BOOK AND BEFORE I KNEW IT I HAD IT IN MY MAILBOX! THXS SO MUCH. OH AND I LOVED THE STICKERS!!!! =] Rating: - Something to change my view on "real" loveAfter each of the stories, I felt a sense of lightness, of being hopeful for my future and the possibilities it has to offer. I would suggest this book not only to couples, but to those who are having trouble believing in "real love". Thank you! Rating: - Chicken Soup for the couple's SoulWe use this book as a wedding gift for all the couples married at our church. My husband is the pastor and believes it is an excellent book for any couples, but especially appropriate as a wedding gift from the pastor. Rating: - Warm and Lovely BookThis book was so good, I almost read it all in a day. I love true love stories. My two favorite stories were the ones about the apples and about the pay phone. It was really nice to read all these love stories. Rating:  - Not What I was Hoping ForMy wife and I had a cross country trip planned (driving from Virginia back to Utah) and we wanted to get some stuff to listen to that would be inspiring and help bolster our marriage of 18 years. We haven't had much alone time with four kids. Well, this one sounded good so we bought it. The stories are okay, but most of them seemed to deal with death and losing a loved one. Didn't do us much good at all. |
