Tuổi thiếu niên nghèo khổ chả có tiền tiêu vặt, được cho tiền để mua quà cho cô giáo vào ngày 20/11 thế là dằn vặt một lúc và lựa chọn đi mua sách hehe. Vậy là mua về, ngấu nghiến vào ngày nghỉ hôm ấy. Chắc đây là cuốn mình nhai nhiều nhất vì nhà cũng chả có mấy cuốn sách, mình còn nhớ rất nhiều câu chuyện trong cuốn này. Nghĩ lại cảm giác khi đọc nó vẫn còn phấn khích

Hello my name is Katrin, I've been reading the book chicken soul sisters: volume 2. This book has about 100 stories about peoples lives with there sisters and loving siblings. Even trough there rough times and easy times, there always there for them. Me and my sister are not very good to each other but I think reading this book makes me feel happy with my sister for once. These stories are small stories about real people an there sisters becoming into one, which I like a lot, and it's very sweet and nice to read them. Now the theme of this book is for sure sisterly love because that's what every story is about on here, love and sisters, they enjoy the moments with them, and I'm sure from the stories I read, I think they will teach me something and something special. Hope you people out there enjoyed my review and take it personally and treat your sisters right. :)

''being the oldest in the family can be tough sometimes, and I know this for a fact. A lot is expected of you, from making your parents proud of setting a good example for your younger brothers and sisters.'' p65
This part of a story is somehow touched me for I'm the oldest in my family. I've got two sisters and two brothers. My sisters are teenagers. These short stories in this book really inspired me and make feel that I'm lucky to have sisters. I should take advantage of every moment with my sisters, take care of them and share them everything in my life because they will be in my life longer than anyone else.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It's very touching.

My sister gave me this book for Christmas and I've been reading a couple stories here and there between books.
I enjoy the Chicken Soup books and especially enjoyed this one because my sister gave it to me.

Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul 2 by Canfield's group was another gift from my lovely sister and another collection of heart-warming stories. One should read these every day instead of listening to the news. I finished this book on the anniversary of the death of one of my brothers, a day when one of Canfield's books was just what I needed.

I got this book for four dollars and it was worth it! It really helps me understand what live means and staying true to my friends and family. This book (I think) touches the heart of any girl who reads it.

I really liked this collection. After the disappointment I got from the first Chicken Soup for the Sister's Soul, this one surprised me. This one is definitely better than the other one. I highly recommend to any who have a sister, whether biological or not.
