The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. What the gently caress, it was the most annoying and predictable thing I've ever read. Paraphrasing: "The dude was in heaven after he died, there was poo poo-ton of colors and one of them was yellow like a banana and one as red like a red crayon and one was blue like (guess what? No seriously it's good) like loving COTTON CANDY! HE WORKED IN AN AMUSEMENT PARK! ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW HE WOULD COMPARE THAT COLOR TO loving COTTON CANDY! So then he met a guy! OH NO FUCKIN WAY HE AFFECTED THAT GUYS LIFE IN SOME SMALL WAY! THAT WAS UNEXPECTED! But wait, there's loving four more of them! OH poo poo SON HE AFFECTED/ WAS AFFECTED BY THEM I UNEXPECTED WAYS! NO loving WAY, GOD, THAT WAS COOL OF YOU!"

bison wings posted:are you serious, dude? really? I'd never accuse Mitch Albom of having great prose, but that's not why you read his books. He's a modern day philosopher more than a writer, and the deeper meaning is actually more important than the narrative. The thing is I read that book because i read Tuesdays With Morrie and I liked it. It was a really cool book, and I enjoyed reading it. Then someone mentioned this book and said it was good. The weird thing was, with this book, it seemed just overly sappy and predictable and frankly boring. I guess I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I had gone in with no expectations.
