Title: Gravely Disappointing
Review: Albom centers all of his works on the same subject matter: the preciousness and value of our time, of our lives. Unfortunately, For One More Day is largely predictable and somewhat absurd. The twists are so ludicrious that they are almost laughable.In Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Albom poignantly prompts us, the reader, to reflect on the direction and purpose of our lives because we are faced with people and characters who we cheer for; they have faced tragedy and buckled to it, like many of us, or overcome it, like many of us hope to do. In For One More Day, the main character, Charley, is pathetic. His obstacles and situtations are so incredibly forced and silly, as is much of the dialogue, that I was left wondering if Albom had run out of material after his first two books and scratched something together for publishing.Sorry Mitch...I loved your first two books, but this is defintely not you best effort.
