This book is a collection of individuals’ opinions of what “awe” is. Without spoilers, it’s challenging to rate this collective, but there definitely are some inspiring and/or enjoyable moments. It’s in the genre of the Chicken Soup series, which is not my personal cup of tea. It’s a book that can be opened to any page for a quick inspirational fix, or you can do what I did, and sit down and read it cover to cover in just a short span of time. I give it. Solid 3 stars for cleverly weaving stories with the content, and because it feels like a weekend project of gathering quotes. Would make a thoughtful gift for those needing a little boost.
