Book Reviews of No Magic Wands
Book Review: I didn't believe it til I read it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was told by my son about this book. I don't read much and I didn't believe it would be possible for a book to affect people too much. We live in Canada and our son visited us from NH. He brought the book and I read it quick. Then I read it again real slow. I have MS and am in a wheelchair most of the time. I thought nothing but pills could relax me or stop me from feeling sorry for myself, and useless. Now I can see that my life ain't so bad. I can understand Mrs. Nichols' ideas better now. She is a great writer and definitely a great inspiration to people like me. I would like to give her a hug if I ever meet her because I started to stop feeling sorry for myself all the time. I also try to do things for myself instead of expecting everyone to do things for me. I also started listening to music. Now when I get upset I relax listening to classical music and slower tunes from the Big Band Era. There is so much good stuff in this book and I will read it again and again. I know a little of what Mrs. Nichols thinks and feels, but for now I can smile once in a while when I succeed at something. And I have not felt like smiling in a real long time. I wish this book could be bought in bookstores, and I wish Mrs. Nichols could sign my book - when I get it - she talks about wishes too. Maybe it will happen and maybe not but as long as I can read the book and think about my wishes and listen to some music instead of some depressing news then Mrs. Nichols has shown me a way to see myself as a real person. Thank you so much Beverly S.Nichols.
