Love it

I love this book. I was never much of a reader as a child ( I found it difficult to read till I was 18 and dignosed with server dyslexia ) I got a kindle and this was one of the first books I read and I think this is now my 5 or 6 time readng it...this time I got it on audible too so I can listen while falling asleep.

Beautiful

The story is uplifting and thought provoking. It is beautifully written and soothes the soul. It’s message is to accept the life you are living but to look for and acknowledge the goodness and impact your life has on others, no matter how insignificant it may seem at times. It also reminds us to be grateful and to live in the moment without regrets.
The author both in the written word and in his narration brings this to life

Always inspiring Mitch Albom.

This story has inflenced and allowed me to appreciate the people I know in my life and who I met along my journey . I have learnt that we effect each other in ways we may not even be aware of.... Life comes full circle and all questions will be answered.

An Adult Fairytale

The story is well known, by now. An ordinary man named Eddie, whose entire life is spent in the same place, deeply affected by his father's indifference to him yet stays after his death to take over his father's amusement park maintenance job. Eddie stuck to it for the rest of his own life. A man who felt he had achieved nothing and left nothing of him behind.

After a fatal accident, Eddie finds himself facing the first of 5 people he is to meet at different 'stations' along the way to 'who knows where'. Each of whom has either been impacted in some way by Eddie, or could offer answers that Eddie seeks, despite the man, himself, not knowing some of them.

The story is gentle, touching and, at time, deeply moving. It is a work of fiction that will touch the souls of those who deeply believe in something more. It offers one persons idea of heaven and the answers that many seek.

For me it was an enjoyable read but it is a fairytale. Wonderfully narrated by the author himself. It's a good light read that will melt the hearts of many and ideal to pop into a library to lessen the mental anguish from the aftertaste of a heavy thriller.

Something was missing

This is my second audiobook I have read by the author. I thoroughly loved the Tuesdays with Morrie. I loved the concept of this book. Felt so real. However I felt that something was missing. I believe the little who died was not Eddie’s fault. However there should have been a connection with the girl he saved. May be the child they were going to adopt. This is my view. I am happy to discuss it further. Overall I enjoyed it.

I didn't want it to end.

This book is well written, thought provoking and I didn't want it to end. It transported a chilly Sunday in England to a place that I could see in my minds eye. Non fiction at its best.
