Have An Extra 2 1/2 Hours?

After reading Mitch Albom's For One More Day I realized that practically nothing was gained. Basically if you want to read a book instead of watching a movie you can pick this book up. For some I could see it pulling heart strings, because of the mother-son relationship explored, however it was a bit predictable and basic. Maybe some of Albom's other works are more captivating, but I found this one quite lacking. My general aversion to a lot of fiction probably didn't add any thing either. So, if you are looking for a quick read without much thought this is the book, for more meat try something else.
