Do animals have a soul? Are they capable of love? October 22, 2008
Have you ever wondered if animals have a soul? If you could speak and understand their language, what would they say? If you could hear their heart beats in harmony with the universe, would it change your life forever?

 I believe the 5 star reviews are fake! October 9, 2008

The Birds in My Life
This book was a major disappointment. Thank goodness I got it for only 0.75 on half.com. The photos are taken by an amateur, and some are out of focus. The birds are Photoshopped into a natural environment. The text is minimal, and is poorly written. An example of an entire page:
I am not afraid of any height
Here you can see me hanging upside
I want to see the blue Heaven
That ~ my original nature~ reminds
This has taught me to be very wary of the "ratings" on Amazon. All of the reviewers that gave it 5 stars only had her other books (which are all self-published) listed in "see all my reviews". Of course, they all received 5 stars, also! For someone that has supposedly attained "Perfect Enlightenment", she seems to have no problems misleading the public. Interestingly enough, on Wikipedia, one of her directives is "to not speak that which is untrue."
I hope this will help other readers avoid this author and be wary of uniformly glowing reviews.
bad photos, bad writing, bad fonts September 10, 2008

* This book features the some of worst fonts in existence: curls, papyrus, and more.
* On one page there is a photoshopped image of a bird wearing an elegant fur coat.
* Here's a writing sample:
"I might look scary
But I am no witchy
I am all loving sweet
All dovey sugar honey!"
If you are between the ages of 10 and 80 you will be unable to have any response to this book aside from laughing at it. I actually thought it was joke when I first saw it, but apparently a lot of people have bought it on Amazon. This book is in my possession because a coworker got it for free and left it on the coffee table for someone else to take. I'm currently trying to figure out if I should save it for a gag gift, leave it in a friend's house for them to discover, or just throw it in the trash.
The book for all generations! February 19, 2008

I'm thrilled that my neighbors love this book. The kids just love the birds! And my older friends love it when they received in Christmas.

It's such a lively and vivid portrayal into the bird "characters" that I feel they are my true great friends.
The author has successfully conveyed her love for these birds to her readers and made them a part of their lives.
