One for Brides

Chicken Soup for the Bride's Soul: Stories of Love, Laughter and Commitment to Last a Lifetime by Jack Canfield

My rating on a 100-point scale: 97

   If I would have quit reading this book because of my disappointment at the first section, I would have never realized that this is a great book. The further I read, the better the stories got. This book is not only for new brides, it's just as equally for brides who have been married for years.
   I bought my copy when I was planning my own wedding more than two years ago now, but didn't get around to reading it until recently. It was worth whatever I paid for it and it's staying on my bookshelf. I highly recommend this book to any who are getting married, any who are already married, and any who dream about having a marriage that literally lasts a lifetime.
   This is the best Chicken Soup book I have read to date.

A Better Chicken Soup for Sisters

Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul 2: Celebrating Love and Laughter Throughout Our Lives by Jack Canfield

My rating on a 100-point scale: 93

   I really liked this collection. After the disappointment I got from the first Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul, this one surprised me. This one is definitely better than the other one. I highly recommend to any who have a sister, whether biological or not.

One for Sisters

Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul: 101 Inspirational Stories about Sisters and Their Changing Relationships by Jack Canfield

My rating on a 100-point scale: 84

   I couldn't really relate to many of the stories, especially in the beginning, but as I read on, the stories started drawing something from me and adding to my relationship with my sister. Some stories made me feel alienated from a sisterly relationship and think the authors knew absolutely nothing of what sisterhood is really about. Other stories made me wish I had a better relationship with my sister, and still others made me see the importance of the acquaintance between sisters, whether blood-related or not. I could relate to some and not to others, which is how many readers will feel, I'm sure.
