It was too short and too "simple" if you know what I mean. I listened to it on cd, and the abrupt ending made me think that I had messed up my {ahem} no so legal ripping of the thing.

I gave it 3.5/5 and called it cute. I don't remember it being preachy - but I read it a year ago. I do think Albom is preachy for sure. I had to check my reading journal.

I find them like annoying lectures too! <br/><br/>I haven't read this one yet, and I'd heard so many good things about it - I'm worried I won't like it now. I've got a copy here - I'm tempted to read it right now to see if I do! I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone saying they don’t like Mitch Albom books before! I find them like annoying lectures too!

Ah well, that's part of the fun of reading...we each see different things in the books we read :P I agree with you about not liking moral lessons in my books (I loathed The Alchemist and everything else by Coelho for this very reason), but I really didn’t find this book preachy!
