Negative Positive
Title: Sappy, saccharine
Review: Growing up in the 60s, I'd be amazed when a stuttering Mel Tillis would start singing and have a voice completely unlike his speaking voice. Same for Jim Nabors as well.Mitch Albom strikes me the same way. I have read his sportswriting and have seen him many times on ESPN's "The Sports Reporters" on every Sunday morning. Albom is a smart, funny, sarcastic and wonderful reporter. Yet he writes trash like this.For all those reviewers who say one should always love their mother, I suggest they volunteer at their local child protection agency. All mothers are not angels.The story is sappy and corny and Mitch milks it for all its false sentiment.Albom is a great writer, sad that he does stuff like this to pay his bills.
