One of my book clubs chose this book to read for next month's reading. I grudgingly purchased it and painfully read it. *laugh* Okay, I admit it, I didn't like Tuesdays With Morrie. There. I said it. My problem with For One More Day is that it's so obviously written to evoke emotion that the story seems so secondary to seeing how many Kleenex the author can force you through. It was also SO predictible so instead of grabbing the hankies, I was grabbing for the caffeine. From the first few chapters, I knew the entire story for the most part. Yes, the very last epilogue gives you a little "ohhhhhhhhh..." but still, nothing really death defying going on there either.

I'm glad it was a short book. The main character was dry, the whole concept was too much, and the writing was too wrought with emotion.

Two words sum up this book for me - TOO MUCH.
