Reviews

[Karolina · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book of quotes. A book of choices. Because it is the reader's choice: do you want to read it from start to finish? are you looking for something in particular? do you want famous people telling you want is important? or do you want to read what they thought and then write your own quote? Anything is possible with this book and that's why I come back to it from time to time, when I get stuck in life or just feel like I need some insight. Be warned - no ready-to-go life manuals here.
