A few heart-warming stories, but most of them didn't evoke any strong feelings in me.

[Jan · Rating 2 out of 5]

When I first flipped through this book, I thought all of the stories were by famous people, because I saw one by Nelson Mandela. However, he ended up being the only person I recognized in the book. These were stories by "real" people. Which doesn't make the book bad; it's just not what I was expecting.

That having been said, this book was pretty schmaltzy and sappy. And I'm pretty sure at least one of the stories was total BS. But there were a few kernels of goodness here and there. I didn't hate it.

I'm sure if you like to read those "chicken soup" type books, you'd love this one.

كنت أظن انه سخيف لانه اعجبنيي عندما كنت بال12 اوال11 من عمري
لكنني عندما وجدته قررت اعادة قرأته - لا أملك كتب هذه الفترة _ وكان ممزق الغلاف من الجهتين ولم اعرفه لكن قرأت بعض القصص وتذكرتها استمتعت به حتى بعد 5 سنوات ^^
تبدأ نسخة كتابي من صفحة 45
اي اني لا املك القاعدة الاولى /
وكنت اعتقد انهما كتابان كتاب إذا كانت الحياة لعبة فهذه هي قوانينها وكتابإذا كانت الحياة لعبة ... فتلك هي قصصها
ولكن اتضح انالمترجم -مشكورا- حرف العنوان.
ولا استبعد ان كان حرف شيئًا اخر
