Book Review

For a long while, I have been trying to get myself to start reading a new book. Recently, I managed to do just that and here's what I read.
It was a book by Mitch Albom titled "The Five People You Meet In Heaven". A heart-warming book that does nothing short of tingling your awareness of the nitty gritty little things happening in your every day life. At the center of it all is Eddie, an old man who constantly feels trapped in his otherwise meaningless life, working at an amusement park.
The story tells of how people or events, that may seem unrelated to you in the slightest of ways, can change your life forever. It makes you realise (very abruptly, in my case) just how important YOUR life is! Things that we do everyday, whether big or small, has an effect on something else. Through each 'encounter' with the characters, Eddie realises the truth and the meaning of events in his earthly life.
Albom also touched on pent up anger that people nowadays (I must admit that I too feel this way on many occasions), face frequently.
Reading the book awoke a sense of urgency to quickly find someone close and give a tight hug and bask in the warmth of the feeling. It also made me think back on all the things that I have done.
Life is sweet, enjoy it.
