Albom is melodramatic but some people like it. I don't , particularly, and evidently this reviewer wasn't a huge fan either. Have a Little Faith
Quote:
A word to the wise: If you are a man of a certain age and Detroit sportswriter/professional wisdom-seeker Mitch Albom starts showing up at your door, you'd best get your affairs in order, because pal, your days are numbered.
At its worst, "Have a Little Faith," which tells of Albom's life-changing relationship with a beloved old rabbi (Martin Landau), is a cynical, preachifying attempt to recapture the success of the Emmy-winning "Tuesdays With Morrie," which told the tale of Albom's life-changing relationship with a beloved old college professor (Jack Lemmon).
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
