This is great, heart felt and uplifting!,
By
This review is from: What Love Is: A Fable for Our Times (Hardcover)
I am saddened by the many harsh words written about this book. It seems people have forgotten the exhilaration and surprise that comes with each new event, or the romance and dreams that makes a relationship last.I recalled a song I once heard. The song followed the relationship of two people from 'first touch' until death. Each step along the way brought a new realization of what love was. It was only at death that the true realization of love was fully felt. When I saw and read the first few pages of "What Love Is: A Fable for Our Times by Carol Lynn Pearson, Kathleen B. Peterson (Illustrator)" I felt the same way that song had made me feel. And I wanted to share it with my wife. So I did. We have both enjoyed it.

Fable or fabrication?,
By A Customer
This review is from: What Love Is: A Fable for Our Times (Hardcover)
Although Amazon.com's review and the Author's review try to "sell" the book, I have read it and am not impressed. But then again, making money is more important than providing a good piece of writing. I agree with writer when s/he comments about the similiarity to Reichert's poem, also titled "What Love Is", but only in idea and tone. The poem is autobiographical, dealing with Reichert's first experience with love and the lessons she learns as she grows up about "What Love Is". This poem, written in honor of her deceased child - an organ donor, has appeared in many publications. The book by Pearson appears to follow a similiar path but packages it's message in a confusing and disjointed manner.

Banal and juvenile,
This review is from: What Love Is: A Fable for Our Times (Hardcover)
A very banal and juvenile work that reminds me of a daily soap opera drama. No substance, depth or even a hint of originality in this considering that this "fable" does appear to have it's idea taken from the 1995 poem of the same name (different subject). Can I get a refund?
