The Ultimate Gift Audiobook

" An amazing book also available as a movie. The movie reads like the book. One of the times a book and movie were equally good. Highly recommend. "

" I really liked the lessons written in this book. It made me think deeper about my own life and choices. "

" Only time in my life I've read a book and liked the movie better. Wait, no, the second time. (Nicholas Sparks, stop writing books and just write movies, please) The message of this book is beautiful, but the pacing was too fast with too little info. I'd have liked to SEE Jason experience some of these things instead of hear him tell Mr. Hamilton. "

" I was surprised at how thin this book is. I read it in an afternoon. This was a book club read that prompted good discussion, but I don't think I'd mark it as a "favorite." I didn't love the writing, but I did think it had some good ideas. I've heard the movie is better. "

" This is a feel good book!!! "

" Short book. Very easy to read. Inspirational. I enjoyed it. Very interesting story. "

" It was a decent book, but it was a bit annoying in the beginnings when they would talk too long. There was no real storyline, except for himge tting the gifts. "

" Sometimes I pick up a book because something about it pulls me; for this one, it was the drawings and the chapter titles (The Gift of Love; The Gift of Problems). Turns out it was a book about a guy turning his life attitude around. Could have been a better read if it actually followed the character around; instead it was basically a summary of his progress each month. I don't recommend it. "

" A fast read. I liked the concepts of the book, but thought that the book was poorly written. I didn't feel like the characters were well developed. I like a story that naturally unfolds and you become invested in the characters. This story was rushed and I felt no real connection with anyone in the story. "

" The message was good but the writing was pretty poor. "

" We read this for our book group this month. Fast read, I read it in two sessions. The 'gifts' or values of this book are great and would be a good thing to incorporate into your own life. However, the plot and story line itself was lacking. "

" I would give this one star on its merits as a well written bit of fiction. It gets two for some good lessons. I really just detest this genre entirely... self help trying yo be fiction. I couldn't have cared less about Jason Stevens. "

" sweet idea, but not told well. It was like reading a self-help book that someone turned into a novel. "

" I liked the message and idea of this book, but I really thought that the film was better than the book. "

" I liked the story, but the writing was lacking. "

" Lovely story of a wealthy grandfather that understands that leaving more behind than money is truly LOVE. The movie is even better!!!! "

" Read The Ultimate Gift by Jim Stovall . I liked this book it reminded Mr of the movie Brusters millions but the book has more faith and a wonderful lesson. I give it 4 stars and a 8. Wonderful read. "

" Enjoyed this one and the gifts are definitely worth thinking about in the day of materialism. "

" a quick read. thought-provoking, but there wasn't much depth. "

" Wonderful story. Very inspiring! I really enjoyed the book. Don't make the mistake of watching the DVD. It hardly follows the book at all and is a real stinker! "

" I watched the movie before I read the book. I LOVE the movie! The book is quite different, but still a really good read. It really helps you look at life differently and appreciate what you have and what really makes your life happy! "

" Mike and I are reading this book together at night. We are really enjoying it. The best thing learned so far from it is that avoiding problems doesnt bring joy but overcoming them! "

" There are some meaningful gifts mentioned that we might take for granted. I enjoyed this story. I found it inspiring. I enjoyed the movie also. "

" Not quite the tear jerker as the movie was but very good........... "

" I probably would have liked this book more if I hadn't seen the movie first. One of the few books out there where the movie is better than the book. There is another book published later with the same title that sounds closer to the movie. I would recommend trying that one. "

" I liked the book, but I think that I liked the movie better. "

" Fabulous book for reminding us about what is important in life. Especially good to read as a family "

" It is a quick read. I enjoyed it, but it is not a deep read. Great time to reflect. "

" This book really makes you think about your life and the priorities in it. Quite the tear-jerker on a few occasions, but ultimately well worth the read. "

" This is a book everyone should read! "

" I read this book for a book club, and it was good! It is a quick read- it took about 3 hours. It's a great motivational book, and really helps you to see things in a different perspective. "

" This is a wonderful story. It helps us remember the important things in life that we take for granted. "

" One of the few books that I liked the movie better! But it has some great principles that apply to everyone. "

" I like the movie better than the book, and I'm usually a book lover than a movie lover. "

" This is the best book, I have read in my whole life. <br/>I especially recommend this book to people from different walks of life. <br/> <br/>If you have read this book, reply to me and tell me if you liked it. "

" The Ultimate Gift was great. It taught a lesson on how to live a happier and less greedy life. It was about a man who was about to inherit a billion dollar company from his great uncle, but first he had to learn how to change his life. "

" Super short read. Just a feel-good reminder of the things that are most important in life. "

" A fast, good read. It has a bunch of great principles in it. "

" I really didn't like that the synopsis of the book on the cover, which should be a teaser, gives away what is going to happen at the end!<br/><br/>I wouldn't mind seeing the movie. "

" I categorize it as life lesson book in a novel format. Quite interesting, the author telling the moral of life by giving different tasks for Jason Stevens to face. "

" this is one of the few times where i think the movie is way better then the story. The story had some great ideas about how to be a better person, but didn't really show the why or how they can. the movie (although a little too sappy for me) at least brought to life the ideas. "

" a quick read, I read it in just a couple of hours but it was a good book "

" It is one of the best books I have ever read. I would love that all parents of young teenagers give this to them as their ultimate gift. "

" I liked the way change was encouraged. "
