sofdani 's review for:

The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

2.5

---

I was into this book until it tried to pass off attempted rape as an unfortunate, desperate, drunken slip. He lost his job and was lonely so assault was just ‘impulsive and coarse’? Shut up. Whilst the rest was enjoyable and it’s an easy enough read, a whole book supposedly about life lessons shouldn’t excuse attempted rape under the guise of a sob story. Amazing how a previously solid book can be undone by just one stupid page.
