Customer Reviews

A Warm Neighborly Feeling

I found this book to be a pleasant surprise. In the wake of Sept. 11th, many of us have changed our perspectives on the world and what truly matters. Todd and Susan Montgomery have taken a very thoughtful and heartfelt look at what really matters most, our friends and family. I personally celebrated the pictures used in this book. Some made me laugh, some made me cry, but above all they made me think. The Montgomery's have contributed to our national perspective and truly aided in the post-911 healing process. Todd and Susan - thank you!! I'm sure you are both wonderful people, and I'd welcome the chance to say so in person.

Inspirational Man

Todd Montgomery is an inspirational man. On Sept. 11th I happened to be at ground zero trapped in a building praying that I would live another day. Outside, smoke, death, and distruction changed the world forever. As a CLIENT of Todd, I had the opportunity to call him for support. On the phone at his kitchen table Todd took the time to spread a map out of lower Manhattan and strategically worked with me to figure out the best possible escape for all of us. Fortunately I made it, however six of my co-workers did not. Regarding the recently posted negative review and attack on Todd Montgomery, apparently you have forgotton about 9-11 and What Really Matters Now. Get a clue.

What Really Matter Now is reading this book

This is a book that touches your heart with photos of friendship and love. In the current turmoil surrounding civilization today, it is important to remember what is really important. This book reminds you what that is. Plus, the photos are magnificent.

Concise as a Zen Koan

This book is not a prescription for overcoming tragedy in our lives. It is, however, a book that shows, through beautiful photography, that we already have the tools to remediate the inevitable disasters, both large and small, that occur. It is a book of peace and hope. In the daily interactions of our lives are found the purpose and reward for our travails on this planet. That is Montgomery's focus, and it is as sharp and clear as his photographs.
