Book Club (5ppl)

Alrighty - I guess now is just as good a time as any - let's start this book club thing. First up, 5ppl by Mitch Albom.

I cannot tell a lie. I feel that this book was a little slow going. And, there were so many flash forwards, flash backs, flash whatever - I mean, WTF!?

I did enjoy it though. For me it was one of those books that I finished and I was like, "okay - I finished..." What I am trying to say is that I didn't have an instant reaction when I was done. But in retrospect, it wasn't that bad of a read. Would I read it again? Eh... but it isn't a regret by any stretch of the means.

I enjoyed reading about the relationship the protagonist had with his wife & father. I thought it was cute, but not over the top. Also, Albom, I believe, made an interesting argument that people don't neccessarily think about: the connectedness of everyone's lives. We truly don't realize that our lives impact people we don't even know, and moreover, our lives are impacting by those we don't know. Food for thought...
