Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Remembering
This bookis great for any son or father to read and make them realize why their sons or fathers did things they did and maybe still do. It will have you smiling, laughing, and also crying. I have many Chicken Soup books and I rate this a a tie with The Veterans Soul book. Read it and enjoy.
Rating:  - Sappy and overly religious
An earlier reviewer was correct: This is story after story about immature fathers who come to the "big realization" that they actually need to be good fathers. And we're supposed to find this inspiring?
In addition, perfectly good stories are ruined by bizarre, out-of-the-blue religious non sequiturs such as "God was remodeling my son." Huh? As if the father has nothing to do with helping his son. One guy prays to God that his son will catch a fish. Yeah, people are starving in ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful reading
I picked up "Chicken Soup for the Father's Soul" in an airport bookshop as I departed for a four-day business trip.

However, I found myself reading story after story, and by the time I had returned home, I had finished the book and was giving some of the stories a second read.

Rating: - Enjoyable reading; great to read aloud to your husband
I enjoyed the stories in Chicken Soup for the Father's Soul. Some make you laugh and some come pretty close to making you cry. I bought the book because I enjoy reading out loud to my husband and though it's not a book he would buy for himself, I thought it was one he would like. He did. If you are looking for a "feel good" book for the dad in your life, you can't go wrong with this book. Another great book for dads is 15 Reasons I Love My Dad. It's a fill-in-the-blank book that you fill with ... Read More
Rating: - Encouragement for fathers of all ages
I decided to buy my oldest son a copy of "Chicken Soup for the Father's Soul" for Fathers Day. I like to find thoughtful gifts for my children...the amount of money that I spend on a gift is not as important as the thought behind it. I was pleased with the variety of the short stories in the book. I think a busy man like my son is much more likely to read a couple of short stories at a time, and I like to think he would be getting some positive encouragement at the same time. He is a great father, and ... Read More
