That book was amazing. I said that in my last post but I would like to reiterate it here. Where to even begin. It was one of those books that gave you life lessons...mostly because that was the premise of the story. But for this final reflection I would like to discuss the author's craft.
The author, Mitch Albom knew he was going to write this book when Morrie was still alive. He knew it was something he could pursue, even though he was just a sports journalist then. His style of writing was so interesting. He constantly used moments to reflect on how he had been a bad person, yet I never disliked him. Just through the way of his writing he proved even further how important it is to recognize what has happened in your life that you are not proud of. It is the only way to do something different.
Mitch Albom was quite similar to the man who wrote "Cancer's Oddest Effect" Dan Barry. It may have just been the fact that both men reflected on the fact that life is precious and sometimes it takes death to clear it up. But I also feel as though their usage of sarcasm, even how they admired their wives for their ability to see things clearer than them were strikingly similar.
From this I hope to develop my writing a little differently. I want to approach it in a similar way as Alborn and Brown just to try it out. I think it is amazing when just reading a book makes me want to change not just my writing but sometimes even me.

I highly recommend this book.
