A review by nicothyun
The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

4.0

This book is cheesy, the kind where you place on the the windowsill where the book lies aimlessly still, waiting and waiting. And one day, you pick it up and you read it in a gulp and come to a conclusion that it is cheesy almost to the point that it makes you feel like puking. You know like a piece of grilled cheese sandwich you told yourself that you should not have, but you still chomp down the sandwich in a bite.

Yeah, in the simplest deconstruction: This is the kind of book where the writing style is flat and unimpressive, characters lacklustre, plot uninteresting and yet you still like it in that greasy stupid way you like your fattening almost sinful grilled cheese sandwiches.
