Reviews for DO Something!
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A shallow but good book to get one started on "doing something". There's some heartwarming stories that are nice and even one of them doesn't have a "happy" ending which was a pleasant surprise. Ultimately one needs to go to the website to dig deeper but a nice easy read.
