This book will make you laugh, cry, and see the world from a new perspective. Can’t recommend enough! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautifully written book *by C***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 2, 2022* Mary Schmich is a former columnist for the Chicago Tribune. She writes human interest stories that make you smile and cry. I love the stories about her mother and other family members. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent collection of columns from Mary Schmich. A great read. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2013* To be honest, I was never interested in reading the Mary Schmich columns in the Chicago Tribune. I always read the columns of John Kass, the late Mike Ryoko, Studs Terkel, and critic Robert Ebert. My wife, however, read Mary Schmich's columns and enjoyed them. I purchased this book for her and I decided to also read it. I always thought her columns were aimed more for women and that is why I never read her material. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised reading this book which has numerous excellent columns I also enjoyed reading.This huge 413 page book is organized into 13 sections covering a large amount of material. Each section has a title dealing with her columns related to the heading topic and includes the following: My mother, Advice, loss and survival, family, taste of Chicago, travel, the world we live in, reading and writing, (My favorite section that had some great practical advice for anyone who loves writing.), Cabrini-Green, holidays, the seasons, The journey of Joan Lefkow, and 2012 Pulitzer Prize Winners. I have found many of the columns fantastic and like millions of other Tribune readers I will be reading more of Mary Schmich's columns in the future. She is an excellent writer. I guess that is why she is the winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for commentary.In conclusion, this book has something for just about everyone. The columns are short and cover a wide range of topics. Even if you are not a Mary Schmich fan, you should check out this book. A great read.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.
