I know I'm a little late to jump on this train and that practically
everyone has read this book. Better late than never though,
no?
Eddie is a maintenance worker at a theme park on a pier. His wife
died years ago and he has always been mad at his father for
trapping him in the life he lives. When Eddie dies trying to save a
young girl at the pier, he meets 5 people from his past (including
people that he never really met or didn't remember). They all teach
him lessons as to what the purpose of his life was and how to let
go of some of the anger he had over his life.
This was a really quick read and was a touching story. It teaches
us that we all have a purpose in life, regardless of how small we
think a contribution we are making.
This is the second Mitch Albom book I've read and I think they are
too deep for me. I'm not too sure if I'll read his latest one. I'll
probably wait for my mom to read it and if she really likes it,
I'll read it.
