one of my most favorite books. ever. ever.
Ceritanya unik, idenya bener-bener nggak biasa. Manis, getir, pahit, penyesalan, cinta, pengorbanan, pengabdian, semuanya diramu jadi satu oleh Mitch Albom ke sebuah cerita yang indah dan dalam, penuh makna dan filosofi.
Dibaca berkali-kali pun tetap nggak pudar keistimewaannya.

I was intrigued after the first page on how the book started, i liked the flow of the book. Diffferent. The story was ok, I couldn't put the book down as I was so intrigued on what was to come, after finishing the book, It wasn't as great as I thought it eventually would have been.

Okay, listen
This book made me sob at the end.
Pros: It kept my attention. I didn't want to put the book down.
Really good lessons for Eddie! And the reader!
It seemed as though it was a book that you would get wisdom from when you're in a low place in your life.
The narration was third person, which hasn't been seen in a lot of the books I read.
I cherished Eddie and Marguerites' relationship. He was in love with her, and it showed. I commonly thought. "Where's my man to treat me like this!"
I'm a sucker for a book cover with meaning in it.
I was close in guessing the fifth person.
Cons: It felt as though it was missing something, but I can't put my finger on it.
Maybe it's due to not being the most religious person? But the book was a nice, wholesome thought for being recommended by my cousin.
It disappointed me, though, because so many people said it was good. (My cousin and my business math teacher)

So so sweet. Such a great story. The only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because while i totally hit the verge of tears many times, not a single one dropped. i couldn’t tell you why, but tears are my deciding factor of 5 star books.

Finally got to this one after being on my TBR forever. I’ve felt a lot of grief lately and this was just what I needed to pick up. This is a book I could recommend to anyone, mom, dad, grandma, friend, coworker. You can easily devour this in a couple hours as it’s under 200 pages.

This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I read it in a couple of hours. I just couldn't put it down. Mitch Albom has done a wonderful job here. I highly recommend!!!
