No, this isn’t doing it for me at all.
About half way through – but bored by it.
I told the person who I’ve borrowed it off that it felt like reading something that would be an Oprah Winfrey Book of the Month. Written by a wannabe vicar out to edify his congregation with a heart-warming lesson (some of the chapters are titled “first lesson, second lesson” etc)
I’ve just googled his name, “Mitch Albom”; and sure enough – there is Oprah Winfrey producing his books as TV movies.
He’s a sports journalist who’s hit on a formula to sell millions of books; blending sanctimonious sermonizing with bland sentimentality to give you saccharine feel-good Oprah uplift.
What a schlocky book it is.
An American Sports Columnist called Mitch writing pretentious spiritual guff.
Don’t think i can be bothered to read any more of it.
