Title: Author is creative, but way too cheesy to be engaging
Review: I had high expectations for this book, given that Tuesdays with Morrie was as moving as it was. The author tries sell another book to the same audience, but ends up presenting a soap-opera/cartoon of a novel as a way to engage the same subject. There is clearly a need in this day and age for writing on the meaning of life, but this was not well done at all, and it was not worth plowing through the melodrama (as someone mentioned above) to get to the several, sentence-long, semi-compelling aphorisms. I actually couldnt finish reading the book it because it was so annoyingly overdone. It seemed way too artificial to present anything real on the meaning of life. Youre better off picking up a film by woody allen.
