The Moth

I was kind of skeptical about this–the whole point of the Moth is that the stories are told live. What's the point of a book of them?? Plus, I listen to the Moth a lot, so... haven't I already heard these stories?

It's true that a lot of these did sound familiar to me as I read them, but honestly, it didn't matter at all–or maybe it helped even, that I could kind of remember hearing the teller's voice? This was really everything I loved about the Moth, but in book form! Such funny, sad, inspiring stories!!

Also I cried like 8 separate times reading this book.

Also I really liked the introduction/preface that talked about the history of the Moth. Hooray for the Moth!
