 It's okay August 12, 2008
I bought it after reading all the great reviews, but it was a bit too "cutesy"; didn't seem like language that most people would use. It does have a lot of space to write and some good questions, but no better than any other book. I would pass on this one, and get one of the many other good choices out there.
 Great Mother's Day Present July 28, 2008
After seeing this book on "The View", I decided that I was going to buy it for my mother, mother-in-law, and stepmom. After seeing their reaction, I knew this book was golden. My mother-in-law has said this has been her favorite mother's day present in years. She spent the whole next weekend digging through photo albums and writing in the book. I decided to give this book to my own grandmother and grandmother-in-law as well. What a great way to pass on family history!
Loved it!! June 7, 2008
I gave this to my mother so that she could fill it out for my son. She and I both absolutely loved it. I can't wait for her to complete it and for my son to get it back as a gift from his grandmother, detailing her many life experiences. The price was cheaper than any of my local book stores.
Not for the divorced granma... June 2, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is cute, but as soon as I received it and thumbed through it, I realized it was inappropriate for my mom, who hasn't been with "grandpa" for a long time. It has several pages for "first date with grandpa", "first kiss with grandpa", etc, which would have been awkward, since they're divorced...
 For the traditional grandmother May 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great book, and in theory would be a fantastic heirloom for my daughter. I am a bit disappointed that it spends so many pages discussing the relationship between grandmother and grandfather, particularly in a time of so many marriages ending in divorce. At this point I am not sure I will give either of the copies I ordered to the grandmothers, as one is a widower and remarried later in life, begging the question of which 'grandfather' should she write about, and the other is divorced.
