This book will have a very mixed review from me.

Life has been so busy lately, I miss reading fiction before bed!

I have always assumed, maybe from the length, that this was a dense book. It is very easy to read and engaging.

You are not making a gift of your possessions to the poor person. You are handing over to him what is his. For what has been given in common for the use of all you have arrogated to yourself. The world is given to all and not only to the rich. - Saint Ambrose
This is a great little book on radical gospel poverty by a local Catholic priest and writer.

This book is dense, but good. Part of my doula training required reading, but also very helpful for my current job as well.

Was this book written specifically for me?

This book is painful to me but I'm so close to the end. I just finished the chapter "The West Must Die" and loved it. What a rollercoaster.

I am HOOKED from chapter one and every single chapter is interesting. No lag! I have been retelling a PG version of this to my 6 year old every day as I read more and he is also hooked and begs for updates!

This book is incredibly frustrating and I have MANY THOUGHTS about it. I find myself violently agreeing with one chapter and then wanting to throw the book out the window after the next chapter! I have bitched about this book and author to my husband ad nauseum.

Just started this, and I'm blown away by the prose. Absolutely incredible writing.

One of the darker Gamache books.

this tiny book has made me cry twice!

incredible writing, humor, and characters!
