Have a Little Faith

A while back, I started off my "Mitch Albom" marathon reading challenge. I think it was sometime in November and I read basically all of his books so far except for "Bo". The last book on my marathon list was non other than 'Have a little faith". I'm glad I had this book for my last read because from it Mitch has become my most respected author. This book as well as "Tuesdays with Morrie" is just a different twist, through them you do not only get to know what Mitch has been doing, what he was up to and how he got to where he is, you also get to know about the people that basically changed his life and opened him up to reality and faith. In this book in particular, Mitch writes about an 8-year journey to explore faith with 2 people that never actually met each other, and as a person from a different faith I was hesitant as to whether I would enjoy reading this book or not but eventually I loved it. 

This book not only shows what real life is all about and what life with a struggler is about, it also shows you that no matter what you do, where you are, or even who you are...God is always there. Now there are some concepts I do not agree with, or I don't think I should say that but the point is, in this book if you are a person that respects other faiths then this book will definitely be the one for you because most people argue and fight over what they believe is right, but that's not the case in this book...it's a book that convey thousands of messages through the words of a rabbi.

Whenever you feel like the world has closed down on you and you have got no way out and you feel devastated, just remember that whenever something unexpected happens, it's a sign for you to change or a sign for you to accept reality and plan ahead for change.

Tuesdays with Morrie

Reading through my "read" shelf I noticed that I haven't written a review for this book and that's kind of weird because I remember rating it and thinking of reviewing it sometime through that day. Anyways, I'm going to write my review right now.

For a start, Mitch Albom is becoming one of my favorite writers however, this book wasn't the best he's ever written, or the best I've read by him. That reasons my rating of 3 stars on goodreads. When I read the brief description at the back cover I got attached to the book first because it was real, it was different and it was another book I wanted to read by M.Albom. As I started reading through the book, I liked every page of it, but suddenly I started to lose interest in the book for some reason and I am not sure why really. There was something that got me scanning through the pages although I loved the characters very much and the way they were illustrated and written and expressed, but something made me lose interest so I just skimmed till the end and was somewhat disappointed really.

In terms of the story as a whole, I had mixed feelings and I liked it but why I lost interest I dont really know, maybe because of all the tuesdays but still it felt like Mitch intentionally wrote all those Tuesdays to reflect and show what really happened during their meetings so probably brining it back to reality. 

From what I read, Mitch Albom is a writer that is not affraid to admit to reality and to write about everything that was going it, having it good, bad, embarrassing, whatever that was he wrote it and that's what I like about him, when  he talks about the lectures and his college days...it's true and I can feel it somehow...that's why he stands out from everyone else.

 

Well that's what I thought of this book.
