    The Book of Awesome is well... AWESOME! This book is great because it celebrates the good things in life. This is a great book that is perfect for when you are not feeling so great or when you are feeling down, all you need to do is pick up the Book of Awesome and open the cover. Even if you are in a good mood this book will elevate your mood even more. This book is about the small things in life that people usually take for granted, but once you've read it, you can realize how wonderful life really is. This is a fun read for all ages and I recommend everyone reads it.

    Inspiring!

    When I first got this book I thought it was just going to be an amusing read, but when I started to actually read it and was actually very good! Reading it after a long day helps you realise the little things in life that we take for granted. The book is all about the small things in life that we should really stop and think about. Sometimes its hard to look at the small things in life that makes us smile. After reading this book it really made me start thinking about those small things throughout the day that makes life a little more fun. I would recommend this to anyone at any age. It is a very fun read, and it brings fun into your daily busy life!

    I didn't find myself reading this book everyday like I would with another one. The Book of Awesome is comforting when you simply need some time to relax and remind yourself of the things in life you normally wouldn't notice. It's not a book you read front to back in one sitting.

    The book of Awesome is exactly that, awesome! It reminds us that it's the little things in life that bring us true happiness. This book appeals to everyone because at some point all of us have had those moments where we are just in awe of something so simple and yet it is still awesome! It reminds us not to take anything for granted and to take pleasure in all the little things that make this world what it is, AWESOME!

    Cheery!

    Such a nice, light book. Do you know what's awesome? Coming home from work, tired, you lounge around the couch with a nice blanket wrapped around you drinking some hot chocolate while reading The Book of Awesome. Neil is such an optimist, it's an easy book to connect to, so you can have an awkward moment reading something and saying 'I DO THAT ALL THE TIME, IT IS AWESOME!' Anybody can read it, age, gender, book preference, it's just the perfect book for everyone!

    Was okay

    Decided to read this book after hearing so much about it and much praise. Feel like such a downer giving only two but unfortunately I did not wow me. Some of the "awesomes" were that indeed but found many just okay and the writing to be desired. Was a worthwhile purchase but I think I just had higher expectations for it.

    Such a simple book. Pasricha take the little things in life that we all share, like the smell of the coffee aisle or freshly cut grass, using q-tips to massage in your ear, or popping bubble wrap. He goes into a description of the thing, and honestly makes you remember things from your childhood that make you smile. It's a cute, optimistic look at life. Easy to read in little snippets, because each awesome thing stands alone.
