This book contains many interesting stories and several good quotes (I’d post them but I don’t have the book here). Albom is writing more than a story, it seems like he is trying to comfort those who are worried about death and are regretful. The book seems to do this by saying things similiar to “as long as you give your best effort”, or “just love everyone, and if they are mean or hurt you stay quiet and just smile.” Of course, I don’t favor these happy thoughts, but hope that the book makes people pleased with their life and not just their efforts and smiles. Thats my 2 cents
