This book has a personable message about time, and if you are an impatient person particularly, then this book holds important lessons to be learned. The fact I was in an aeroplane transcending time, flying backwards across time zones gave it an extra level of meaning.However, whilst enjoying it immensely, I felt as if I was an outsider to the important messages being passed on from Mitch Albom to the reader. This book will speak directly to someone, but for me, I was just a spectator, a fly on the wall to that conversation.
