Wow, this is the first book I feel like I picked-up in a while and what an emotional turn I went through as if I was the main character. Also helps that we are close in age and their birthday is just before mine.
But needless to say, Mitch Albom does not disappoint his readers! The way he breaks up his chapters, the small subtleness to each flash back to the main story. The attention to words used. He is and stays as one of my top 5 authors.
I am a slow reader, and it may have started a little slow for me I fell right into it, and was guessing who the 5 people where, where they would be surprised and sad all at the same time.
There are many points that hit home for me more the the first book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven; since these are things I have been dealing with and fixing in my own life the second part had me tears and reaching for my sick fur baby and a box of tissues since that was something I have putting aside as much as possible.
This does have a small hint of religion in it, so if that is a trigger please come in reading what you can learn from the book even if you have a different faith since you would be depriving yourself of a emotionally, self explorational read.
