My very first foray into the world of Mitch Albom and it did not disappoint. The story of a man who, with his experiences in life, has lost his sense of living and through out the journey of his death, relives his memories through the eyes of the people who touched his life. It was very easy for me...

I had this on my readling list for my BA, and I completely understand why. It is a very heart warming true story which shows how you can look at death in a positive manner. Its a real feel good book, and the professor in it really inspires you. It took me just under two hours to read and I completel...

I absolutely adored this book. I laughed and I cried a little several times throughout the book. It was a touching story that really makes you think about your life, and the lives of every other person, and how interrelated our lives are. It demonstrates very well how someone that you never meet, or...

Mitch Album's books are so warm and feel good to me. What I love most about them are the life lessons they give you without beating you over the head. This one was no exception.

This was such a lovely, hopeful and thought provoking work of fiction. But here's the thing - a bit of me believes/hopes that it's bordering on fact.Mitch Albom's 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven' tells the tale of Eddie, the fairground maintainance man and his story begins on his 83rd birthday.....

Read this one on the ferry back to Victoria. Crying in public is a little embarrassing.

I read this book in a high school English class. Our teacher had just lost her husband of only a few months in a car accident and was given this book by a friend. It's been a few years so I don't remember each of the people he met and each of their stories, but I really liked the book, and the circu...

I didn't want to read this. I assumed from the title that it would make me cry and crying isn't exactly what I want to be doing on my long drive to and from work. Blurred vision, smeared mascara and blood shot eyes? Not a pretty picture. My sister left this at my house anyway and insisted that it wa...
