The Museum Of The Yellow Ribbon

By Benjamin Q. Adams

I walked that day, for the first time, for the last time, into the museum. The Museum of the Yellow Ribbon. It was the first time because I had been too blind. It was the last time because part of me... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Very High Regard

Recently, I shared a concern of sorts related to this book. For the record, Mr. Adams actually took steps to track me down through my publisher and explain what ACTUALLY happened with regard to the reviews below. A man with a good heart takes those steps. After receiving a response from Mr. Adams, I am convinced the comments placed below are not warranted, as the issue referred to was out of his (Mr. Adams) control. I am looking forward to receiving this title and personally, I recommend all who read this get a copy as well. God Bless.

ENGAGING

I found most of the characters to be real and their motives understandable. The book is dedicated to soldiers and their loved ones and I can easily see how anyone with a loved one working in harm's way might appreciate this book. I have always been partial to "stories within the story" so I enjoyed the ever-changing parade of new people with stories to tell. Some of them are heartwarming - others are heartwrenching. Overall, a very enjoyable and memorable read.

I Laughed and I Cried

If only all small books could contain as many interesting and real and inspiring characters to tell their stories as this one does!! I loved this book and I am recommending it to friends at work and church. Perfect to share with the people you love. I was delightfully surprised by the couple in the forest - but you will have to read it yourself to see what happens.

Moving & Surprising

I am not a big reader, but this book was recommended to me by a friend and - he was right! It is inspiring and moving. I read it straight-through, in one sitting, because once the Narrator (a guy I could really understand)had been lured inside, I couldn't stop reading. All of the stories were interesting and affecting, but the Medic's story really drew me in the most. I have found myself pondering these same questions about life, faith and humanity from time to time, and I found his writings from the trenches very real and thought-provoking. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to be able to read a book in a few hours and walk away feeling that the characters will remain with him for a long time.

A Wonderful Book to Share

I loved this book! I was deeply touched by all of the stories inside the Museum, but I liked Pocket Gus's story the most. I don't want to reveal too much, because this little gem of a book is best discovered on your own. But, if your life has ever been touched by a the deployment of a loved one for the purpose of fighting a war, I think you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
