Recommended to Mark by: Deschutes Public Library
Recommended for: No one
Read from September 11 to 12, 2012 — I own a copy

I read this because we got two free copies since Sara was one of the first 200 to buy tickets for the Deschutes Public Library Author! Author! series this year ( http://www.dplfoundation.org/ ).

The intertwined stories of three vastly different people were fairly interesting. But, although I knew it was coming and was dreading it, the ending was simply sappy.

SPOILER ALERT: God has limited our days so that we'll keep each one precious. ::gag gag gag:: Do yourself a favor and read one of the many nonfiction books from the last 10-15 years (several recently) about how our constant focus on getting more [out of] time is harming us. At least that way you'll also get some actual facts, data, and tips on things you might do instead of some syrupy Judeo-Christian bullshit about how our everloving God punishes us because he loves us and wants to help us.

At least it was a very fast read. Not recommended unless you're a Mitch albom fan. I have not, nor will I, read any of his other books.
