I heard loads of positive comments about this book before I actually started reading it. This was the second Mitch Albom book I read so I was expecting some sort of 'cheesy' element to the story and doses of soppiness. Anyway I read this book in a day and absolutely loved it. Yes it was cheesy in places but I didn't care. I cried at the end as well and anyone who knows me knows that I don't cry easily (although that's not entirely true as I did cry a lot when Madge died in Neighbours).
This book made me think about the people in my life that I used to look up to and think were so cool when I was younger, in particular my old Chemistry teacher at school and my mum. I know that sounds quite sappy but it did. I really enjoyed reading this and have recommended it to my friends. There's also a film but I haven't seen it and don't know if I will. That guy from Friends is in it (the scientist guy who goes to Minsk that Phoebe is in love with).
Overall 5/5
P.S. I would probably avoid One Fine Day as I felt that was way too cheesy. Although I did get into a heated discussion with a friend who thought that One Fine Day was not as cheesy as Tuesdays with Morrie, so there you go. Will talk about Five People You Meet in Heaven later.
