For One More Day by Mitch Albom (2006)

This book is incredible. It is such a compelling story. And the even made a movie of it that comes in 12/9/07. Such a wonderful tale about a man who has hit rock bottom and finds he's not alone after all.

For one more day by Mitch Albom is by far, the best book I have read. It really makes you think about your family relationships and to NOT take one day for granted. (Which most of us do) It is a great story that pulls at your heart strings. I was truly surprised by this story from begining to end. I think a lot of people will relate to the story line. I laughed and I can honestly say that this is the first book that made me cry. I highly recommend this book. You won't be able to put this one down.

I bought this book for a gift and it was in excellent condition. There was no sign of wear from use or shipping. I decided to buy it because it was specifically requested.

I am impressed and amazed at the writting style of Mitch Albom. He can have you in the present time in one paragraph and 50 years earlier in the next, without confusion. He has a way with bringing you right into the story, giving you the right information at the right time and making you feel like the story is yours. I have read all 3 of his "non-sports" related books, each one I finished the first time I picked them up. I even bought the audio books for my husband who travels for work and doesn't really care to read that much. He LOVED the stories and talked about them for days. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and have no complaints whatsoever!

I bought this book after hearing the author on Dr. Phil. It won't disapoint. My mother is my best friend and this book reminded me of how much I love to spend time with her - so now I make time to see her as much as I can. She's almost 80 and won't be around forever. When I go to see her I explain to my family - For One More Day - and they understand.

Wow! This book brings to light the value and brevity of life. It is an awakening of a sort, and made me realize more than ever that time slips quickly away and we need to spend more time with those we love. I never read a book in one day, but I couldn't put this one down. An awesome book with an awesome teaching lesson intertwined within the story line. Buy it! Read it! And read it some more. I'm getting ready to read it again. Thanks Mitch Albom!

I recently lost my father and so I thought this book would speak to me, but it did not. I found it to be lacking the depth I like in a book dealing with this subject matter. I feel this was emphasized by the fact that the book was so short.

If, however, you are looking for a quick read, then this isn’t a bad one. I just wanted more from it.

I really loved this book! Each one of Mitch Alboms book hits a spot in your heart. His books are very real and very much a part of every single one of us. This book reminded me how important family is and how it is never to late to start mending bad relationships and keep the good ones burning bright. I can't wait for the next book! 5*****

I LOVE THIS BOOK AND ALL OF MITCH ALBOM'S WRITINGS. THIS ITEM WAS IN EXECELLENT CONDITON. THANK YOU FOR THE SPEEDY DELIVERY

I heard about this book. I didn't have time to go to the book store. I looked it up on ebay. Book was in excellent shape when it arrived. Very fast shipping. I love shopping on ebay..Marsha

One of the best in his series. I bought it because I had read Tuesdays with Morrie, the best book ever for someone who has just lost a loved one. This one rates right up there! An excellent book! I read it in oine afternoon, I couldn"t put it down!

Had to buy this book, after owning Tuesdays with Morrie, and buying The Five People you Meet in Heaven. E Bay had the best price out there, and it was received in excellent condition, and arrived sooner than expected. I always check E Bay before buying anything. Pay Pal makes it so easy to deal with payment, and I have never had a bad buying experience. Kudo's Ebay, you have me addicted!

I loved this book! Anyone who has lost a loved one can relate to Chick's story. At some point in our lives we all wish that there was some way to spend one last day with a loved one who has passed away. We want to have one last opportunity to tell them the things we never got to say, do things with them, and hear their words of wisdom one last time. This book takes on that idea with a mother and son (Chick) sharing one more day together, to work through the things from Chick's past, future, and present. For One More Day is written in a very similar style to one of Mitch Albom's other books, Five People You Meet in Heaven, so if you enjoyed that book you'll most-likely enjoy this one as well. For me it reopened the connection I have with my father who passed away. It reminded me that although he is not here in body, he never left me, he's still here inside my heart just like he was before he died. May this book bring to you a similar place in your own lives.

For One More Day
By Mitch Albom

Rating:



Mitch Albom, the author of Tuesdays with Morrie, and The Five People You Meet in Heaven, has written another provocative, insightful, sentimental book, the causes us to explore the possibility that we could have one more day in time with a parent. Perhaps long enough to see things from their point of view, and in the process to alter our life. Albom has been called the “fearless explorer of the wishful and the magical”, and this book is no exception. The result is a transcendent, sentimental and profound work that has the power to stir the reader.

For One More Day is the story of a mother and son, and the epiphany that comes with the experience of spending one more day with a loved one. Charley Benetto as a child favors his father. But suddenly, the father leaves, and the 11 year old Charley and his mother are forced to fend for themselves. Charley’s embarrassment and yearning for a complete family goes unanswered during the remainder of his childhood.

Years later, Charley is a broken man. Alcohol and depression have left him without a job, a family, and any semblance of a normal life. He reaches his limit when he learns that his only daughter has not invited him to her wedding. He decides to take his own life.
The book turns Capraesque, when Charley decides to return to his hometown. He fails in his attempt to end his life. He decides to go to his old home, where he once lived with his mother. To his amazement, he finds his mother, who died eight years before, is still inhabiting the old house, and takes him in as if nothing has ever happened. Charley drifts back in time, to spend one more ordinary day with his mother. What follows is a series of eye-opening revelations that cause him to come to terms with his mother, an explanation family secretes, and ultimately forgiveness. Charley learns things about his mother he never knew, including the pain and sacrifices she made for him. Drifting back and forth between the past and the present, Charley and his mother put back together the pieces of his broken life.

This book could have been a smoltzy throw away, but Albom’s masterful storytelling, inspiring characters, and biting insights make this a must read. This is wonderful books that spend many weeks on the best sellers list. For One More Day is a book of life and love lost, and then found. This book is more than just a good read, but a masterpiece of study of the existential condition of all of us. I highly recommend this fine book.

This book was bought for my husband, he had briefly described the book to me and that alone brought me to tears. Not sure I'm emotionally ready to read it, but he has said that it is a wonderful stirring book. He also enjoyed the book by the same author the people you meet in heaven.

It wold be a slow moving if it weren't so consuming! It's about relationships, growing up, and just about everything else you need to learn. I'm starting Tuesdays With Morrie and then I'll read the Five Peole You Meet In Heaven.

i had recently heard that this particular author had had a new book out. An having read all of his other books i have taken a liking to this mitch alboms work. so i went to the major book stores and priced it, and found it to be a little high. so, i decided to see what ebay had available. lucky for me i got lucky and found what i was looking for and saved money in the process. It was no suprise that this book was an excellent read and i great condition. in the future i will check ebay before buying elsewhere if i can help it.

thank you!!!!

I borrowed this book from a friend and enjoyed every minute I spent reading it. I knew I wanted this book in my personal collection, but it retails for $15. Even on Amazon it was $12 + shipping. I looked on Ebay and found many copies priced under $10. I bid on the first one I saw, and it was at my door for under $10 two days later. No cost in gas spent driving to a bookstore, paying retail plus tax for the book, or gas spent driving home from the bookstore! Ebay is the greatest recycling center in the world!

THE POWER OF LOVE! I was truly touched by this book. It was such a metaphor of life. I have enjoyed Mitch Albom other writing as well. Books fact or fiction are a great way to escape our sometimes overwhelming amd self absorbed lifes.
We are only human. This book really hits the target for me on that note.

It was even more amazing to me that after I had read the book and looked at the reviews how so many people got different perspective from this book.
I also am impressed by his self-less acts in REAL LIFE as he is many charitable
organizations.

It shows good character and leadership .

Good book regarding son's relationship with his mother and father.
Read it because it was a book club recommendation.

A FRIEND LOANED ME A COPY OF HER BOOK, "FOR ONE MORE DAY", AND I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. IT IS THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I PURCHASED A COPY OF IT FROM EBAY TO SEND TO ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE. SHE ALSO LOVED IT! GREAT BOOK!

I did not receive book and never replied to numerous emails
do not buy from this crook !
