Just sit and ponder about our definitions of satisfaction and disappointment, and how much difference the little things in life make. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Amazement at the author's ability to take such a seemingly small premise and turn it into such an insightful narrative. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Is my all-time favourite author, Paul Gallico. He writes a wide variety of books - and the good ones are brilliant. I must admit though, that given that he turns his hand to so many types of writing, some of his books disappoint. But he's my favourite author anyway! | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It makes one think and has a great feel-good warm fuzzy factor. | ||
