Albom has created a type of form for all his books (the main character goes through some sort of life-changing event), but somehow it doesn't seem like form-writing. Especially in this book, he has created a story to make you want to improve your life by attaching you to believable and sympathetic characters. (  ) mmillet | Dec 14, 2009 | This is my second Mitch Albom book. My first was The Five People You Meet in Heaven, which I confess, I liked a bit more. This one was slower and less interesting. It was essentially one family's history with no suspense or action. I was kind of bored, but its a small book, so it was a quick read. It was very beautiful and inspirational to read though. I recommend it for Albom fans. (  ) Awesomeness1 | Dec 4, 2009 | I read this book in about an hour or two. This is the first Albom book I've read, but from what I understand, it seems his standard fair. A story about the importance of family and love, and appreciation for what we have on this earth. Overly sentimental, but it does the trick and pulls out a few tears. A quick read. ( ) stacyinthecity | Dec 4, 2009 | I worked at Starbucks for a couple of years in high school, and read this book one evening after a shift while waiting for a ride home. What a piece of overly-sentimental tripe! The plot was predictable, the characters one-dimensional, and the narrator was someone I'd hope never to meet in real life. The so-called "inspirational message" at the center of the novel was as canned and cliched as anything one would expect to find in a Lifetime Original Movie. I haven't read anything else by Mitch Albom, so I can't pass judgement on the rest of his (apparently well-liked) work, but as to this one? If you enjoy watching the Hallmark Channel around Christmas, you might like this book. To anyone else, I'd recommend giving it a pass.
