My own summary:
It explores the question: What would you do if you could spend one more day with a lost loved one?
This book is all about a mother's love. unconditional. unbounded. a love that last a lifetime and beyond. and yes, love you even if you lie on the streets with the rest of the world spitting on u
This is a story of a man who gets the chance to spend one more day with his mother, who died 8 years earlier.

Cherish the moments before they're gone.You come away with a desire to pay closer attention to the world around you and what you have. Not to mention the desire to go and hug your mom, just in case

Read it if you are a parent.
Being a child once gives more reasons for u to read this.
The English is as simple as it gets. I love this book for being precisely descriptive.

p/s: my advice is:don't read it at night. i wouldn't want anyone to get
目puffy eyes目 the next day. enjoy, my fellow muffins..キスマークキスマークキスマーク

Oh, shyt, when I read your summary, it really does sound like a good read. I was very rebellious too, Rose, and I daresay this book is gonna strike my nerve. I'll try to go and find a copy of this in MPH or something. :-P

Roses said...

I'm just scared that I'll cry my head off...:-S I'm quite emotional when it comes to watching or reading these kind of show. And i still i can't believe that I cry over the Olympic closing ceremony...geez, and i thought the opening is a tearjerker. *sigh*

Anyway,how much is the book?
*miser on the loose*

Roses said...

dear pete
it's a good read.
less than 200 pages. simple english. great details.

dear cleff
ermm..if you are very emotional, u better read it during the day to avoid puff eyes..
i skipped the closing ceremony.. ;P

the book costs roughly RM 32++ but i was lucky i got it on a promotion. 30% off (RM 23++)
i got myself a Stephen King but yet to read

Pete said...

Cleff, read it in Borders, freelah, some more got comfortable sofa also. 200 pages 3 hours finish(if big print). ha ha! But don't forget to bring a box of tissues! LOL

I'm a cheapskate...I think I'll just go MPH and read it...if it's really hard to out down and have discount, then I'll buy it. Mianz, Uncle Scrooge is going to be so proud of me. :-D

Roses said...

pete
it's consider as big print...so u can actually finish it up quick.
but i bought it to keep, and to read like snail

anonymous
it's talela..
anyway, doesn't matter since it's my copyright..lol
u must be that anonymous...who gone missing..

chris
read it the next time u are catchin on a flight. or on a flight. since most of ur time u are above the clouds.

cleff
yeah. u can read it first and decide whether u like it.
as for me, i was aiming for this book long time ago but due to the incredible rm32 for a book of less than 200 pgs and huge print, it's somehow worthless..

p/s: i read his other 2 books and i know i am gonna like his new one w/o having to read summary/review.lucky me, MPH got sales

Anonymous said...

That's why lorr, Rose...200 pages only but nid to pay Rm32...my wallet wun be so happy later. Haha...but if it's really worth to buy, I can consider, because some novel are really worth keeping.
