I actually survived two shitty tales! One-Mitch Albom's , 'The five people you meet in heaven', two, Choker Bali. I don't know how!
Well, for Albom, I had predicted that he couldn't get any worse than 'Tuesdays with Morrie', but .. he proved me wrong! So wrong, that actually I've started liking Morrie! If you've read Albom, you can tell this guy was born to make you cry.. I'm sorry I'm asking for a bashing from all Albom fans, but I really hate reading stories which start with dying..(Love Story is an exception..and Erich Segal rocks!) So this story starts with a guy called Eddie, who dies in the first chapter, meets a person who touched his life in every chapter thereafter, and tries to tell us how all our lives are interconnected, and how we leave imprints on each other's lives without even knowing it! The story keeps going back and forth on Eddie's birthdays and gives us a snapshot of Eddie's life then.The outline is freaky and interesting, but there is no connection at all between the loosely connected parts of the tale. But I guess, a novel doesn't become a best seller for nothing..so I'm sure there are some people there who would still like to grab and read it.. go ahead you guys! For those who aren't, don't worry, you're not missing much!
More on Choke her Bali later..oops I meant Choker Bali!
