Chapter One, Page One, Book One

I just finished reading "Five People You Meet In Heaven", yesterday afternoon actually, and wasn't very satisfied. Don't get me wrong it was a good book but it didn't live up to my expectations. Then this morning I got to thinking that maybe my opinion on the books I read could help others. It could push someone to read a one of those books and form their own opinion on it. They could see why I liked it, why I detested it or why I can't wait to read it again. When I start a book I usually don't put it down, even if I don't like the book I keep trying to give it a chance to spark my interest.

Book discussions are a lot of fun to me, but my husband isn't apt to join in any with me so feel free to converse with me about any of the books I write about! Or suggest books that I should read! :)

Oh! Which brings me back to "Five People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom. Like I said it let me down just a lil. Where as the ending message was a good one. And the beginning was very good. I suppose it was the last paragraph that left me unsatisfied. The five people that Eddie met helped him to understand why his life was the way it was. They helped him to forgive and let go. They helped him to heal. Eddie touched a lot of live at his job. The author Mitch Albom did a really good of writing this book. I really liked how he broke up the time lines and chapters. It was interesting to see why Eddie was the way he was and all the experiences in his life that shaped him to be who he was.

When I read about the love of the life and my questions were answered through the chapters, it almost made me love sick for my husband.
