August 15, 2000: john harnish has out chickened 'Chicken Soup'. He can take you from the mundane to the bizarre in a literary heartbeat. Even as he reverses the frog and the princess story he takes you to the hieghts of erotica and back to realism of platitudes and attitudes. The audacity of the stories 'Spark', 'Pride' and a couple of superb titles with four letter words, wound and bound into their own individual philosophies offering a refreshing hope from this sexpert. Where antiquated experience bows to the undaunted simplicity of an 'Ode to a UPS Truck,' then in humble reticence lays it side by side to, Keats, 'Ode to a Grecian Urn'. From the word play in, 'George Birthington's Wash Day,' to the sentimentality of 'Fathers Day', a freshenss is realized even in the rereading. I highly recommend this book to the reading public and I highly recommend the philosophy that goes with it. 'Enjoy Often!!!. I did--and I'll never have chicken soup again.
