This was January's book club book. I like this book. I think it is interesting how Albom's book seems to be about death in a way. My favorite parts in the book were when the main character, I forget his name, writes about the times he didn't stand up for his mother and the times his mother stood up for him. It really makes you think how as kids you treat your parents because they are supposed to be the strong ones and can take care of themselves but who knows how often you may have hurt them by your actions or inactions. It was pretty quick read. I think liked Five People You Meet in Heaven a little more but this author doesn't necessarily blow me away. I don't know if I'll read any of his others.

I've read this as well as Five People You Meet in Heaven. I'm not sure why people just love this author. He's okay, but not great. This book was just made into a movie and I'll be watching it soon.
I haven't read it yet. I thought "Five People" was just okay so why did I buy this one? But I'd better read it before the movie comes out.
