Thanks Jet, I wouldn't need good eyesight because I would get the audio version Not usually a war book type fan but that has gotten some great reviews so I'll keep it in mind.

I see your wife's recommendation got a pretty decent review score too. I like those type of books every now and then as well when i want a lighter read so that's also going on my list, thank you

Mila 18 is more about the amazing characters and their courage in dealing with what happens to them than the war. The characters really draw you in - you end up really caring about them as if you know them...well I did anyway.
I didn't know you could get an audio version, thanks for that info!

That's cool
Be prepared for getting teary......that's all I'll say for the sequel to Mitch Albom's heaven book, it's both emotional and deep. Very well written .

…yeah, I recall his characters being ones that we have immediate connections with so I imagine the sequel will be a great book also…I’ve also just seen that there are movie versions of The 5 People You Meet in Heaven…so I might see if I can try to catch one of those streaming so that I can recap before the sequel…its such a long time since I read it and I’ve probably forgotten so much….

Yeah the movie of 'The 5 people you meet in Heaven ' was actually quite good ......Jon Voight is in it , I recommend it .
