Title: Lame, Chicken Soup Feel Good Drivel for Simpletons
Review: This, like Tuesday with Morrie, is a lame book. The author is not a good writer, so he instead appeals to the most basic, non-intellectual emotions of his less than cerebral diehard fans by employing hackneyed, formulaic story lines. Really, his books are horrible. I read both of his bestsellers because they got such good reviews, but both times, I was severly disappointed. Reading an Albom book is like watching an After School Special or reading a Chicken Soup for the Soul book--he attempts to affect your emotions by using the most direct (non-creative), simple (non-intellectual) story lines, rather than being a truly creative author by making you react emotionally without having to shove the simpleton feel-good drivel down your throat. The onely good thing I can say about Albom's books--they're very short.
