Rating:  Summary: WOW!!! Review: Mitch Albom did an wonderful job with the writing of this book, I would recommend anyone of any age, race or sex to read this. After reading this book it will leave your mind thinking of who you are and what you've done. Its amazing to see how different the same incident can be to two different people. A must read on my list!!!
Rating:  Summary: bought it, read it, loved it! Review: Great visualization of the concepts that each of us create our own heaven and that no matter how small we may seem - we all touch the lives of many others throughout ours, in ways we may not even know. Don't let this one pass you by.
Rating:  Summary: Heavenly Review: When I go to heaven I'd like to have a chat with my brother who passed away a while ago and ask him what gives? Why hasn't he answered my pleas? I might just punch him in the nose. I also recommend the book, The Little Guide To Happiness. Very cute book.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: I enjoyed this book. I did not read any reviews prior to reading it, so I had no preconceived ideas about it. I liked that the people in heaven got to pick what their heaven was. Everyone got to be where they wanted to be and do what they wanted to do. It is a light read, with a reminder that all lives matter.
Rating:  Summary: I liked it! Review: I must say this was a very different book. Dealing with death and life. I read this book with a very open mind and it has to read as such. It changed me and gave me a new view point on heaven and the afterlife. Eddie the main character death is the main subject of the story. His goes through five phases as I like to call it. They were life lessons, I felt should be done while living but it took Eddie to die to learn them. Like I said you need to be very open minded to read this. It was a very easy book to read. I am an average joe and dont have the grand title of "Top 1000 or 100 reviewer" but I enjoyed it and I hope you will also..
Rating:  Summary: Good premise, terrible writing Review: I don't know if it what is called the "sophomore jinx" in the publishing industry is the problem here, or if Albom is a "one hit wonder", but this book is truly awful. The writing is dull, forced, unimaginative. That is all too bad because I like the premise of the book, and the best thing I can say about it is that the cover synopsis does a good selling job. So much for truth in advertising.
Rating:  Summary: Albom has done it again Review: This was a well written book that causes you to think about your life and the people you encounter everyday. Albom has truly done it again with this story. He makes you fall in love with another 80 something character and takes you on a spiritual journey. The book is creative, thought provoking and touching.
Rating:  Summary: Touches your heart Review: Having just lost my father last year I was looking for something comforting to read. This book will touch you in a very gentle and heart warming way. It takes you on a wonderful journey and makes you explore your life and the possiblity of lives you have touched along the way. Read it with an open mind and open heart and you too will be rewarded.
Rating:  Summary: An Impossible Read Review: I'll admit, I sloggged through the ridiculously sentimental and poorly written "Tuesdays With Morrie" just so I could see what the fuss was all about. This book is so poorly written I had to literally force my self to read it. I wonder how it ever got published. If this is what the "average" reader finds intellectually stimulating, God help us all. A terribly, terribly wasted read.
Rating:  Summary: What A Wonderful Book!!! Review: Dare I say this was the best book I've ever read? It reminded me very much of the movie A Wonderful Life with Jimmie Stewart.The first book I've read by this author, now I'll have to read "Tuesdays With Morrie":) All the books I've been reading strike a chord with me, but this one, I felt that I could have been the main character. I felt such a close relationship to the subject matter. Eddie is a carnival repairman, and the story begins with his death. He feels his life was nothing, but he meets five very surprising people who show him otherwise. Some of these people he didn't even know existed. This was a very quick read, and one that I'd recommend to everyone. This reviewer rates it a five, because it's as good as it gets:)
