Chicken Soup for the Soul has been around for 20 years now and has shared some wonderfully heartwarming, funny, sad and informative stories.  I was quite excited when I received The Original! Chicken Soup for the Soul 20th Anniversary Edition for review.  I was excited about this particular book because it takes you back to the very beginning.  I don’t believe I was reading Chicken Soup for the Soul 20 years ago, but it has been very close to 20 years.  I honestly didn’t know it had been that long.  It was very interesting to learn the full story behind how Chicken Soup for the Soul came about.

The Original! Chicken Soup for the Soul 20th Anniversary Edition offers all of the favorites of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books over the last 20 years.  If you are very dedicated to reading Chicken Soup for the Soul then you will probably recognize some of these stories.  I absolutely love that they have combined all of the most popular stories into one book.  Sometimes I find myself going back to look for stories that I feel like someone might be able to relate to whether it be a family member, a friend or just a story that I need to read for myself.  It gets quite difficult to remember which book all of the stories came from.  With The Original! Chicken Soup for the Soul 20th Anniversary Edition it will definitely be easier to locate some of my favorite stories.  I have to admit that I didn’t recognize any of the stories, but after reading them I can understand why these particular stories ended up in the book.  There are some fantastic stories about love, parenting, learning to love yourself, living your dream and overcoming obstacles.  Among the favorite stories you will find 20 new stories that you will love as well.
