Title: Poorly written yet good story
Review: I liked the main idea about meeting five people, how they all had crossed path with Eddie somewhere, the idea that all the stories are connected and has different sides to each of them, and the lessons each of them gave. I get what the author wanted to write about.HOWEVER, the writing style just plain annoyed me. I didn't think it was necessary to repeat the same style over and over for five times with Eddie's birthday and the lesson chapters. These could have been all put together to make it a smoother reading.I watched the movie and the movie was EXCELLENT. There was none of the extra annoying repetitious of Eddie's Birthday chapters nor separate lesson chapters. It flowed really nicely (even though, it's pretty long).I would suggest that you watch the movie since it covers the entire book in a much smoother way. Also, for some reasons, reading the book was more depressing. Instead, the movie uplifted me.
