Concepts such as a child standing up for a parent versus a parent standing up to a child were poignantly explored and the difficulty of choosing between parents. The centerpiece of the book is what different parents give us. That being said, the narrative device of a near death experience was trite and did not actually add anything. All of the moving interactions with his mother truly happened in the flashbacks and could have been kept there without that aspect. The surprise twist at the end was anticlimactic, not to mention unnecessary and the culmination of Chick's relationship with his daughter felt added on in the end. Far from Albom's best work.
