CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE WOMAN'S SOUL

Fans of this book will likely enjoy this audiotape. The alternating of readers offers some variety of style and voice and suits the material since it is primarily a collection of stories and anecdotes from a wide range of sources. The readers emphasize the sentimentality and earnest sincerity of the anecdotes that they have excerpted from the book. While many of the stories are presented with an exaggerated sense of drama, others are presented in a more balanced tone that lets the material speak for itself.
