I really like stories that have deeper messages to them and this story does. I never read a Mitch Albom novel before and I was presently surprise at how much I liked his righting style. The book was short and sweet; it was straight to the point and kept with the storyline, instead of adding pointless chapters of meaningless nonsense.

It was an interesting plot and the way he mixed the lead character past memories with his present day ones to show how each event led him to a suicide attempted was great. Not only are the readers drawn in by the present day story, but the past one as well. Also another nice thing about the story was how the whole book is set in a storytelling kind of way, which pretty cool since the whole plot is set in the future talking about the past.

I must say that unless you have a soft side then you wouldn’t like this book, because it such a touching story somewhat of a mother and grandmother read, however it could be the motherly impact of the that makes me gear the towards older women other than young adults. That being said if you are looking to read an action book or love story than I wouldn’t recommend this book, however if you want to read and emotionally well written novel I would say that “For One More Day” is the prefect read.
