Rounded up from 2.5 - It was meh. If you are a big fan of Mitch Albom (as am I), you'll find that this is a less expressive version of his style of writing. With Albom, you not only get a storyline but you also find reevaluation of your own life within the pages. Milne attempts to give that same experience but falls short. The main character was a turnoff & left me with a bad taste even after the story predictably ended. Probably won't read this author again - I'd much rather reread an Albom classic instead.
