I rarely read fiction. I can't remember the last fiction I read..... I think it might have been Mitch Albom's "The Five People You Meet In Heaven".
I also can't remember if I borrowed this book because a friend recommended it, or because I saw it on the New York Times list of must-reads. I put a digital hold on this book months ago, and it finally became available.
It's a pretty good story.... as I read it, I kept picturing how it would translate to a movie. The story bounces chronologically in a way that (I think) was started in movies like Pulp Fiction and Memento. Overall, I found myself liking the main character..... and in the end, I think I found the character relate-able to my life.... but at the same time, I wasn't moved so much by the significant events that happened.
I would give this a 4 or 5 stars, but I don't think I'll look up more books by the author, and I'm no more inspired to read more fiction than I was prior to picking up this book.
