Press Reviews

"You have to hand it to Mitch Albom: the man knows how to craft a tale certain to appeal to a wide swath of his audience, manipulating and cajoling them along the way with good humor and sometimes incisive wit before going for the jugular of the sentimental with a dramatic payoff that’s sure to wring tears, sell tissues and send the aforementioned audiences into the real world with something to think about."

— Broadway World

"The comedy moves seamlessly between different times and settings, in part, because of clever (and cinematic) dialogue… high-energy scenes involving knock-out fights and funny wordplay."

— Oakland Press

"Mitch Albom wisely populates his story not with stereotypes but with unique individuals. Sure, we chuckle uproariously at their antics. But underneath their colorful exteriors we discover a wonderfully diverse cross-section of humanity."

— Between The Lines
