Title: Disappointed
Review: With the media hype surrounding this book and its placement on bestseller lists I expected a powerful read. This is not what I got. The book is contrived at best and sappy at its worst. Although the premise itself is genius I found that the story did not live up to its potential. There were moments while reading that I expected the next page to be more engaging but this never happened. Poor Eddie spent his first moments in heaven full of angst and confusion trying to determine why certain people greeted him. The fifth person to greet Eddie was probably a tear jerking event for some readers, but I felt cheated. The ending was lame. I agree with several other reviewers that the best thing about this book was its quick readability. For those that have not read "Tuesdays with Morrie", do not let this book be a guide for you. Tuesdays is a great book!
