Mitch Albom's new novel asks the question, "If you could spend the day with one person you've lost, what would you say?" As in his other novels, Albom gets the reader to stop and reevaluate our relationships with whom one is the closest, but this time it is harder to form a personal connection with the characters. A good book for discussion, but not a book that will stay with the reader for years to come.
I thought this book was wonderful! It gave me a lot to think about and many great discussion questions! My book club loved it. It was a very quick read which was also a plus and I didn't want to put it down!
We had a great discussion with this book. It definitely made us all think who would be that one person that we would like to talk to if we could have one more day to spend together. Most felt that it made them think far beyond the reading of this book and we are still thinking about it and discussing it from time to time. It certainly made us all think that we should be taking every day slower and spending more time in thinking about our conversations with those important to us.
Excellent book.
This poignant book has many topics that will inspire your book club to discuss different issues on many levels. Everyone will have something to add to the discussion.
This was truly a small but very powerful book. It afforded great discussion for our bookclub, as well as many different angles that the topic raised of spending one more day. We would highly recommend it as a book club pick
Our book club read this book in conjuction with an at work book club we have. We had a group of about 18 people at the first lunch/discussion event, but the second time slot was full with 32 people who signed up to discuss the book. This book was very well received by everyone who read it. This book really became personal to some book club participants. I was pleasantly surprised to have several men in attendance at the book discussion events.
As with his other books, Mitch Albom gives you something to think about. We all probably have someone we would like to see "for one more day." We would probably give anything to have the opportunity to understand things from a different perspective. Even if you don't have someone who is gone, this book opens the door for you to take the time to appreciate those close to you now while you still have them. There is a surprise ending that puts a interesting twist to the story. Mitch Albom's books are a joy to read because they are quick and so well written.
We found it was alittle hard to discuss the people in this story as it was very short & we had to guess as what we thought about most of the characters. This was an easy read but didn't get as in depth as our other club selections.
Well written and thought provoking. I enjoyed this book, but liked Tuesday's with Maury better.
Chick plays the victum really well. So many relationships are uncovered and discussed in detail...... Everyone can relate in some way or another. The book was fun and easy to read.
