Finding Chika: A Little Girl, an Earthquake, and the Making of a Family by Mitch Albom

2.0

Over 13,000 people have given this book a 5 star rating. And less than 500 one or two stars. I am with the latter group.

It appears that the author is covering up his lack of writing skills in an over-dose of sentimentality. I was reaminded of old Indian movies where there is a lot of crying by the actors, but the audience is bored and unmoved.

At times it seems that the author is trying to project how well a job he has done (He has even missed the Superbowl for the first time in 32 years for Chika) and what a good bloke he is. I am sure he is really, but his writing style does not match his heart (His heart that once snapped into two and due to some unknown cardia miracle continue to function)
