The Moth Presents All These Wonders True Stories About Facing the Unknown Catherine Burns Neil Gaiman eBook Reviews

• I loved this collection of stories. and this phrase just made the whole book worth it
  
  "Just walk fearlessly into the house of mourning, for grief is just love squaring up to its oldest enemy. And after all these mortal human years, love is up to the challenge"
  
  Highly recommended.
• If you love story telling, you'll love this book. It's filled with wonderful stories that will not just entertain you but transport you to different parts of the world, allow you to experience different lives, but best of all, celebrate humanity. It's a wonderful book that just makes you feel good; it's hard to put down.
  
  And if you love Moth Radio, then of course you'll love this great collection of those stories.
• Let me begin this review with my impression of the exterior design of this book. I typically don't purchase hard back books for the sake of comfortability. I like the feel of a paperback and often travel with books so the lighter the weight the better. This book, however, is amazingly comfortable to hold and the gold embossed cover design is so incredibly gorgeous a paperback cover simply would not do it justice.
  
  As an avid Moth listener and book collector, I was thrilled to add this to my collection and ordered two copies pre-sale. When it arrived I immediately began reading and was thoroughly impressed with the sequence of the stories and how lightly the original content was edited. I have heard a lot of these stories on the podcast and reading them was just as good, if not better, as hearing them live.
  
  I've given a copy of this book to a dear friend as a gift and am considering buying several more copies to distribute as everyone should have this book in their life.
• Sitting on a porch drinking bourbon listening to people tell stories (or reading the storytellers' stories). Doesn't get any better!
• I am a huge fan of the Moth podcast, and I worried that reading these stories would not be the same as hearing them in the tellers' own voices. All These Wonders is a great read though, and a hugely diverse collection of stories. I cannot wait to pass this on to my teenage son, it is amazing to be able to read about so many life experiences in one book.
• I am a connoisseur of other people's stories, so The Moth is 100% love. I never fail to laugh and usually more so cry, but I enjoy rating things on how much they make me cry. I give it 5 Tears. The Moth (whether on PRX, NPR, the podcast, the books, or in person) never fails to hit me in all the feels. I love that it is a thing that exists and has for 20 years now.
• Absolutely the most beautiful thing I have read. GREAT when you have ADD when it comes to reading books. Short stories are my favorite and I know that now thanks to this book. I also now follow and listen to the podcast every week. I'm so glad I found this on while looking for books that would help me with my anxieties and fear of death. I am extremely appreciative of The Moth and all that it has to offer. Hearing the stories that each of these vulnerable, beautiful souls have to say is insightful and absolutely extraordinary. The story that really touched me was from the founder George, second favorite was the man who forgave Ivan. loved it, Loved It, LOVED IT!!!
• I'd heard several of these stories on the Moth podcast, and they were memorable enough I could imagine the way certain phrases were spoken. Many others were new to me. A great read for times when you have a short attention span, and need to remind yourself to there's good in the world. Like now.
