A colleague lent me this short and thoughtful book, warning me to be prepared to cry. Well, I was a bit disappointed that I didn't, although perhaps the tube is not the best place to be emotional. I did enjoy this little book, the idea being that when you die you meet five people whose life touched yours in some way when you were alive, who teach you a lesson, to help you understand the purpose of your life; I would be interested in reading Albom's other book. But I am disappointed I didn't find it more of a weepy!
