"I can't recall when I read this little gem, but I remember liking (and crying) at several of the little stories. I think the collections from this first one on out have gotten a bit excessive, but this first collection was good."

" Sopa de pollo para el alma es un libro muy tierno y bastante inspirador. Lo que me gusto mas era la variedad de cuentos de los que trata del amor, la amistad, ser padre o maestro, etc. Bueno, no todos los cuentos me inspiraron pero sobre todo es un libro muy lindo y lo recomendaria. "

— Alice, 1/5/2013 -
" I read this back before there was an entire line of these books--I think, in fact there were only two or three volumes of general stories. They weren't bad, but the explosion of so many types of these books depresses me in the same way that seeing children clamoring for Barney does. "
— Catherine, 10/9/2012 -

" Yeah, it's cheesy but this is a pretty touching, inspiring book at times. "
— Michael, 9/16/2011 -
" Starts out promising then goes down hill. A bit of a book written for an audience who need a simple cheesy pick-me-up. I would not recommend this. "
— Chris, 7/20/2011
