For One More Day

This is not the type of book that I typically read, but since it was the second book that my book club chose this month, I thought I would give it a go even though I don't often read these types of feel-good books. The writing is good, but then I've seen reviews for Mitch Albom's books and know that he is well received. I did like the message….if I only had one more day with someone….

I do know that I'll be buying this book for my mom for Christmas, I think it's a book she'd like to read. And it's something I want to share with her to let her know how much I love and appreciate her.

I finished this book in a day or two, and it was amazing. I have purchased all of Mitch's books after reading "have a little faith" and this book truly was amazing, It had me in tears near the end (which never happens) the ending was amazing and caught me off guard which I love! I have told all my friends about this book and if you are thinking about buying it DO IT!

Mitch has written another master peace with this book. This book touch home with me on a few points. The first has to do with the death of my father 12 years ago, and about the questions that I would ask him. The second point has to do with is what I would do after the questions has been answered. I found this book to be a very intriguing read and I recommend it to anyone.

This novel goes straight to the heart with its sincere sentimental narration that provides many life lessons and motivation.

I went to the local chapters to buy "the five people you meet in heaven". They were all sold out (i want hardcover books) I saw this on one of the main stands. I never read a Mitch Albom book before, but i heard good things about his other books so i grabbed it and im so glad i did.

I just finished. It was a quick, easy read but packed with emotion. After a few pages i was hooked and around the halfway point i remember wishing it was a much larger book. The closer i got to the end, the more the book came together. The book starts off great and ends even better. I decided to order the other Mitch Albom books.

One of the nicest books I have read. It is so touching as well as inspiring. It is so well written that the story engages all your senses transporting the reader to the main character’s (Charley) world. I believe everyone can identify in his/her own way with Charley and his mother. It is a wonderful book. I strongly recommend it.

Really worth reading. Heart-warming tale about a child's relationship with his mother. The best of Mitch Albom by far. I like it even better than "Tuesdays..." and "Five people...".

A sweet story about having the opportunity to spend one more day with someone you love that is now gone. This short book will make you laugh and cry as you walk through this day with the main character. from the book-Because there was a ghost involved some may call this a ghost story. But what family doesn’t have a ghost story? Sharing tales of those we’ve lost is how we keep from really losing them.

I've read all of Mitch Albom's books & have loved them all! They are a quick, inspiring read!

This wonderful little book really made my day! I couldn't put it down once I started reading it! Mitch Albom instantly became one of my favourite writers with this gem of a book! It's about a forlorn man who gets to spend one more day with his deceased mother - he has a chance to 'make things right' with her, and learn about life in the process. Mr. Albom has a wonderful imagination, and he brings hope to others with this book. 5 stars from me!!

A heart warming story. If you had a chance to spend a day with a lost love one once again, talking about the past, secrets and regrets it would change you.
Charley in this story tries to kills himself while he is unconscious he spends a day with his mother. After spending this day with his mother just an average day, Charley changes. Charley got to understand his mother for once. Understand her decisions that he though ruined his life. Learning to forgive himself which in the end was all he needed.

*This story I found amazing! It was simple and honest. A lot of the times we take our mothers for granted. But one day we all know we will no longer have that as an option.

Once you start reading this book, it is impossible to put it down!
Another Great book, Mitch!

I loved this book. It made me wish I had one more day with my Mom.

This turned out to be a pretty good book, although I believe it could have been better. I don't deny that Albom is talented (though I haven't read any of his previous works), but I think he lost focus during certain portions of the story.

The general premise was excellent ... the first sentence instantly drew me in ... but I felt the characters weren't fully developed. Also, there were times, particularly in the middle of the book, where I was downright bored. I felt that the visits to the elderly friends of his mother were dragged out needlessly, and that Albom should have added more variety (all of the individuals he introduced the reader to, seemed like cardboard cutouts). I understand that he was going for simplicity, but spicing things up a little would have made a world of a difference.

I really appreciate the message of the book, and am annoyed by reviewers who suggest that Albom's life was not difficult, and that he shouldn't have been depressed. Those individuals obviously have no understanding of depression or addictions. I applaud Albom for his insight into human life and mental illness.

An excellent reminder of cherishing today, what is and not what might be. Mitch Albom keeps to the point, carefully depicting the search for meaning while missing that it already exists

Of all the books I read, I would put it in the Top 5. I really enjoyed it until the last period. The ending blew me away. I loved it more than "the five people you meet in heaven". Can't wait for the next one.

It's a great book letting you to remember one of the most important things happened or happening to you in your life. However, it's not so easy to remember the ideas and try to change yourself..lol

I went to chapters for a look and found this book...I could not put it down and read it all at chapters that afternoon! Such valuable ideas for anyone/everyone...this author is by far the best!

I read this book in 3 days. It made me realize what being a mom is all about. Really beautiful and enlightening.

Mitch Albom has done it again! This book will move you in so many different ways. I am not a big reader, but I read this book in 2 days! Once you start reading it you will not want to put it down. Best book this year.
