*Quick Note on Review Below: I haven't read any other books in this series.
This is an easy, sweet read presented in an easy, almost conversational style. I can see immediately how these stories connect with readers, and how easy it was for these books to find an audience. In this style, somewhat in the plot, and in the message, it reminded me a lot of "The Five People You Meet in Heaven".
Which leads me to some quick critiques: even though some of the stories carried an impact, I thought the moral was a little obvious and a little repetitive. Between the repetitive moral and the frequently repeated character and plot points from previous novels, the overall feeling was that, in a short book, even some of the stories, details, and whole pages were skippable. For this reason, I don't think any of the remaining books in this series are for me.
That being said, I did enjoy reading this book, was emotionally effected (affected?) at parts, and I would be interested in reading other books by this author outside of this series when the opportunity arises.
