Book Reviews of This I Believe: The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
Book Review: Some good, some OK, but the great stories make this series worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm always looking for a good audiobook to listen to on the way to work and back, and this series has been one of the best I've heard. Every story is different: some are predictable and a little boring, but most are good, and some are really amazing. In fact, I usually had to reserve these for the way home, because some of the stories were so captivating that it was hard to get into my work for half an hour or more after listening to them. One story about a lady who adopted a boy from China still makes me cry whenever I think about it (happy tears!).
The stories are a mix. I had expected a lot of religious content from the title, but there was little of that. Mostly just people talking about some important aspect of or event from their lives. Included some modern NPR stories and some from the original CBS series in the '50s.
Altogether very interesting, and well worth the time to read or hear.
