Title: Footprints in the Sand?
Review: Sorry, but I was not impressed with this book. At the beginning, I was sure I was going to love it. I like the set up of the old man and his last day on earth counting down. And I liked the old man, too.This is followed (of course) by the old man's death and the experience he has in heaven, which you've probably guessed is meeting five people. Anyway, at this point the book became predictable and somewhat sappy. And the worst part is that I think Albom used the Footprints in the Sand poem as the format for his book. That made it cheap to me -- not that I didn't like the poem -- but that he used someone else's idea to end the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
