I just couldn't get into this book... in a word: DEPRESSING ]]> <![CDATA[John added 'Have a Little Faith: The Story of a Last Request']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73572425 to: Have a Little Faith: The Story of a Last Request (Hardcover) by Mitch Albom
I enjoy reading all of Mitch Albom's books. They're fast reads, are easy to follow (just a few main characters) and most importantly, balance their simplicity with a wonderful, meaningful message. I always feel like I've learned an important life lesson when reading Albom's books. It's the perfect read for the holiday season (or any time of year). Read it and enjoy it. ]]> <![CDATA[John is on page 86 of Have a Little Faith:... ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73572425 John is on page 86 of 249 of Have a Little Faith: The Story of a Last Request ]]> <![CDATA[John added 'The Magicians']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79670851 The Magicians (Hardcover) by Lev Grossman
