One Day Is Better Than No Day At All

The book I have just currently finished reading is "One More Day," by Mitch Albom. It is a fictional book. It is about a man named Charley "Chick" Benetto and his life. His father at a young age told him that, "you can be a mama's boy or a daddy's boy, but you can't be both," so he obviously chose to be a daddy's boy. He started to play baseball (his dads favorite sport), but by doing so he never stood up for his mom and it caused him to burn some bridges with her. His parents also later divorced, which during that time was seen as something wrong. As he grows older he becomes an alcohol and has many regrets. His life goes down the tunnel, he gets a divorce with his wife and his daughter hates him. As a result he attempts to commit suicide...twice, but fails both times and finds his way to his childhood home instead. In his home, he has a guest...his mom who died eight years ago. How is she still alive ? What is happening ? What will happen ?
We live in a world, where we are born and then we grow up, but sooner or later we realize that we are all gonna die at some point. We learn a lot of things about how reality works. We can attempt to save someone from committing suicide, but if they don't want help then what else is there to do ? I personally enjoyed this book a lot because the main character goes through some things that happen a lot today, even if they are bad. The author especially is my favorite, I love Mitch Albom because his works of writing are so carefully written that at first I thought the book was nonfiction rather than fiction. He's a very innovative author. My favorite part of this book is the ending but sshhh, I can't tell you what happens.
