I became a big fan of Mitch Albom's books after coming across this book purely by hap stance. I was at local book story a week after my dad died feeling really down when I was walking through the aisles of the store heading towards my usually genre section when I glanced over and saw the title of this book on an end cap display. I read the brief synopsis on the inside cover and was interested, so I brought it, once I started reading it I couldn't put it down and read the entire book in one day.

After reading the book it gave me a little bit of comfort as to my father's passing and perhaps what his spiritual journey would intel in the after life. It was neither preachy or favorable to one particular religions belief but more an assurance for those in this life that even in death as in life we are still irrevocably connected to our love ones that have passed on and whether we know or believe it or not we all have a responsibility to those we love and even those we don't know in this life and that one small act of kindness no matter how insignificant it means to us can mean the world and beyond to someone else. - Capri of Isle, Elizabeth, NJ, USA
