The idea is good and it was a pleasant read. It's not grand literature but the writing's alright, although it's a bit predictable. Haig makes some good points about life (albeit a bit sugarcoated) but unfortunately the ending is very "happy ending" and does a bit of a disservice to the rest of the book.
