Inspiring but lack substance
The series of mini stories presented through the book are nothing but inspiring, as they all illustrate examples of the best expression of humanity - compassion and kindness.
However, I personally found that many of the stories are too short and not detailed enough to illustrate the full point of the moral behind.
Still worth a read IMO. The book is quite short so doesn’t take long to finish.
