anivyl (Australia) (2009/11/06): Mitch Albom's books all have the same peaceful quality to it. While some events in the books he wrote might appear to be quite violent, you as the reader is viewing the events from a tranquil position - such as the afterlife.
This story is about a man who has passed on and met 5 people in his afterlife, each of whom made some what of an impact to his eventual identity. The story, while fictitious, reminds the reader gently that every little thing can count towards something big.
