My definition of a great book: one that leaves you thinking about it long after you're finished reading it. This is one of those books. You may not agree with Albom's definition of heaven or even believe in a heaven, but you can't dispute that there are important lessons to be learned from life. This book gives the reader a chance to step back and look at the meaning of life and realize there are always repercussions to our actions. It's so easy to get lost in the minutae of day-to-day living that it's nice to have this chance to sit back and wonder what it's all about. The fact that there are no answers doesn't take away from the importance of pondering the question.
