Though i don't read much book. But from all those i have read, my favourite author would be mitch albom. I like his style of writing, its sort of playing with a kite. Knowing when to let go and pull back. He lets fills you in with details just enough so that you would want to flip to the next page. And every page is filled with new excitement and details about the story. I enjoy it when he includes the tiny details and facts which make the story very realistic. It is also very readable at the same time, as he uses mostly simple english, just in a very interesting way. His ending are also as good as the starting of his book, it makes you have that sense of satisfaction, not from finishing the book but from finishing the story, if you understand what i mean. He is a great author and most of his books are based on his personal experience or referal to them.
5 facts about him:
1.) Albom first gained fame as a sports columnist for the Detroit Free Press newspaper
2.) Albom is part of a rock band, The Rock Bottom Remainders, whose members are all published writers
3.) He also co-wrote the Warren Zevon song Hit Somebody (The Hockey Song) which featured David Letterman singing vocals.
4.) he started a Detroit volunteer group in 1998 called "A Time to Help".
5.) Albom was briefly suspended from the Detroit Free Press for pre-writing and submitting an article about an event that didn't occur.
