Hundido en el alcoholismo, Chick toca fondo al recibir las fotos de la boda de su hija, a la que ni siquiera ha sido invitado. Cuando ya está decidido a suicidarse, sufre un gravísimo accidente de coche que lo coloca al borde de la muerte. Ahí, en la frontera entre la vida y el más allá, es donde se reencontrará con su madre fallecida hace ya años. Juntos pasan un día, viajarán al pasado y Chick conocerá la verdadera historia de su familia y los muchos sacrificios que su madre tuvo que hacer para sacar adelante a sus hijos. Por fin, Chick tiene la oportunidad de comprender muchas cosas de su vida.

    • 2/5
      A quick undemanding read, but not very engaging and overly sentimental.
    • 4/5
      A nice story about a son’s relationship with his mother. Shows both the good and the bad. I read this in one sitting. It makes me want to be a better person.
    • 2/5
      The protagonist relates an experience with his deceased mother. She relates some tragic events of his life and upbringing that answer some behaviors of others in his family. I was disappointed that he did not relate more of the "experience" rather than the "events".
    • 4/5
      Another wonderful story by this author showing the importance of families, forgiveness and the eternal love of a mother. A touching read.
    • 2/5
      The first two Mitch Albom books both dealt with the sad topics of death. He wrote them in a way that showed how good life can be and how death can be seen as a new beginning. This story is of a suicide attempt where the protagonist wakes up for one more day with his long dead mother. The rest of the story recounts all of the terrible moments of his life. When the main character inevitably wakes up, the story pretty much ends and the whole message of the story ends without a good pick me up. I was very disappointed in this sad story and think that Albom has run out of ideas.
    • 3/5
      I wish I could give this book to Gavin and have him read it. Maybe someday when he is older. Filled with such good insight. This poor boy chased after his dad's approval all his life, and treated his mom like crap. Later he grows up and sees all the story, not just part. Listened on audio, read by author.. great!
    • 4/5
      This book reminded me a lot of Calico Joe, by John Grisham. Both stories are centered around mediocre, or at least not first-rate baseball players trying to work out their place in the world and their relationships with their parents and their past. Both are rather sappy, too, but not too terribly sappy.
    • 5/5
      I expected to hate this book - 'what if you could spend one more day with your dead mother'. It sounded schmaltzy, weep-inducing and full-on syrup overload. I suppose it was all those things, but it was also a brilliant read which I would have read in one sitting if circumstances had allowed. I had to get up really early this morning, and it was already way past my bedtime last night, but I kept telling myself "Just one more chapter...". This went on for over an hour. This afternoon I was devastated as I thought I'd get to finish it on my commute from work but a neighbour chose to sit beside me and chat on the bus instead.My point is, this is one of those books that you don't have to think too hard about. From the first page you're 'in', and it's a gallop thereafter. If you've recently lost a parent this book may be too raw, but on the other hand it may give you some comfort and remind you that parents don't judge us the way we judge ourselves. They know that sometimes we're just busy living our lives.A quick, beautiful read with some simple messages: it's never too late to right wrongs in your life, and your mother loves you no matter what. Amen to that.4.5 stars - this is no literary masterpiece, but it's addictive nonetheless. Maybe it's all that sugary syrup...
    • 5/5
      Its a very great story and I should say its highly recommended to all teenagers especially! I love the way Mitch Albom write a chapter to chapter of how Chick interact with himself to stand up the chance he got to fix all the wrongdoing. Mitch succeed to make me tear apart in some chapter and the fact, I finish up this fiction in one night!
    • 5/5
      I LOVED IT.

      I loved the little twist in the end, I loved how the story was written, I loved how it unfolded.
      I loved how it made you think twice of your actions after reading it, and probably make you appreciate the people in your life more.

      It is very simply written, but carries an amazing message. Like Charley, there is someone I deeply cared about who died without me having a chance to say goodbye. The second last chapter touched my heart deeply and throughout reading that chapter, I had my ballet teacher, Mr Gino, in my mind. I couldn't help thinking of all the things I would say to him if I had One More Day. I felt like going to my mum's room, at 5.30 in the morning, just to hug her and thank her for all that she's done for me; not like I haven't told her before, though.

      I felt like just telling everyone what they mean to me after reading this book. This is a book that touches you deeply, and leaves a lasting impact in your life.
      Well, at least I think so.

      If I ever come across other books from Mitch, I'm definitely buying them.
    • 3/5
      A quick, easy, enjoyable read.
    • 4/5
      was sad to hear it was not a true story; but was very heart warming none the less
    • 1/5
      I worked at Starbucks for a couple of years in high school, and read this book one evening after a shift while waiting for a ride home. What a piece of overly-sentimental tripe! The plot was predictable, the characters one-dimensional, and the narrator was someone I'd hope never to meet in real life. The so-called "inspirational message" at the center of the novel was as canned and cliched as anything one would expect to find in a Lifetime Original Movie. I haven't read anything else by Mitch Albom, so I can't pass judgement on the rest of his (apparently well-liked) work, but as to this one? If you enjoy watching the Hallmark Channel around Christmas, you might like this book. To anyone else, I'd recommend giving it a pass.
    • 4/5
      This is a nice heartwarming book Story of a grown up son who has hit rock bottom nearly dies speaks to his dead mother and pulls through the other side.
    • 5/5
      For One More Day by Mitch Albom is the story of a mother and son and the relationship that covers a lifetime and beyond. Charley "Chick" Benetto was told by his father that he could either be a mommy's boy or a daddy's boy and of course he chooses to be a daddy's boy playing baseball and spending most his time with his father until one day his father leaves home unexpectedly. Chick grows up with just his mom and sister but has irrefutable damage to his psyche due to the divorce and becomes a bad husband, a bad father and an all around broken man who is even shunned by his own family.He begins drinking heavily and one day decides to just end it all and commit suicide by driving his car off an embankment and into a billboard sign but his plan goes awry and he is thrown from the car and knocked unconscious. While unconscious, he gets a visit from the spirit of his dead mother where he learns of things about her life and the sacrifices she has made for him.What would we all give for just One More Day with a loved one? I have personally wished for it many times.Published in 2006 by Hyperion, For One More Day, despite mixed reviews from critics, made it to the top of the New York Times Bestseller list.
    • 5/5
      This is a wonderful loving heartfelt story. It really makes a person sit back and think.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely loved it!!! Make sure to have a box of kleenix handy!!
    • 2/5
      fictional "memoir" about a man driven to suicide, but then "rescued" by spending a day with his mother & learning how things weren't quite as they seemed in childhood
    • 4/5
      I listened to this on CD -- it is read by the author, who does a pretty good job. I enjoyed the book, & it has a tiny twist at the end which I didn't see coming.
    • 4/5
      3.5 stars

      i could hardly put it down, and it brought tears to my eyes several times. I love it. I was in that dream with Chick all the time, it felt like a dream to me :)
      It's my second Mitch Albom book, a page-turner as always: emotional, heartfelt, and enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      If you could have one more day with someone you loved would you take it? What would that day look like? For "Chick" Benetto that wish has been granted with one more day with his mother. The story tells us about how his life went from one of promised grandeur to one of desperation at the end of a neck of a bottle.

      Albom creates a story filled with hope even in the darkest of times and how we as humans can return from that darkness to live fulfilled lives. He is one of the masters of this type of uplifting story, another master is Coelho for another example of this particular type of story. Albom creates realistic and believable characters here because he roots them some firmly in reality, while allowing for the mystical elements to shine through as well. He lets the otherworldly elements not be so boldly shockable that they feel organic in the context of the story. He never makes a bigger deal of them than he should, which provides the right touch for such an enjoyable read.

      If you have ever felt down and out in your life this is a book that you need to read. There are millions of people similar to "Chick" out there and to have someone tell such a story will help you connect with others that have shared similar experiences. For a brief moment it does help to recognize that we are not the only ones that go through struggles in this life. People can become overwhelmed by their own individual struggles that they feel they are alone, but we are not. There are those of us out there that have struggled and Albom taps into that. So if you are struggling read this and recognize you are not alone, but afterwards take the first steps like "Chick" does to recuperate that lost life you want back. It just takes one single step forward because unlike "Chick" most of us will never get "One More Day" to make the things right, so do what you can today. It is a powerful book with a strong message that will engage a reader that understands it. Share that message with the world.
    • 3/5
      I always think Mitch Albom's books are going to be too sappy. Then I succomb and read them, usually by suggestion. And they make me cry and I love them.

      This one fit the ticket.
    • 2/5
      "Let me guess, you want to know why I tried to kill myself?" For Albom is loaded by writing mere fucking book reports. Evaluating this book is akin to ingesting sourly perished pancakes along with acidic decaffeinated java. Argghh!!!
    • 3/5
      I quite liked this book, but not as much as I expected to. The idea behind it is lovely, and the whole concept is something which I'm sure pretty much everybody can relate to. I felt it lacked any sort of definite structure and seemed a little all over the place, though.
    • 4/5
      A heartwarming story about the power of a mother's love. The interactions between a mother and her son seem spot on.
    • 2/5
      This is another Mitch Albom thought provoking book.Charley Benetto is one messed up fellow. His father ran out on them when he was quite young. His father had asked Charley to choose to be a mama's boy or his. Charley chose to follow his father and it was the wrong choice.His dad was fixated on Baseball. Charley tried to continue that fath even after his dad and mom divorced. It led him to a full college scholarship. then Dad appeared again and convinced him to leave college and chase pro ball. He made it to one inning of the world series then blew out his knee in spring training. He kept chasing the dream, but it didn't quite work. His dad disappeared once again - until he was old enough to really know better. It was one more phone call to go to an old - timers game. He left his Mom's party to travel to the game with his dad. His mom died of a heart attack the next day.Now the guilt has destroyed him He decided to kill himself - he drove to his old home town and had a head on collision. He was thrown from the car and came to climbing the water tower. He climbed to the top and jumped off in a 2nd attempt. As he came to again he saw his mother on the ball field and thus starts this one more day with mom. As he goes to and fro with his mom their story comes out and he hears again and again how his mom believes in him and loves him. That's the bottom line - love. As his mom helps others get ready to pass over - Charley hears his own story again. It's an interesting book about parental love and commitment. This was our December Book club.12/06

      I love this story. It's not a long read but the message is loud and clear. Guys should read it too, it mentions baseball! This book is heart-warming and will make you look at your family in a different light. I cried at times because it was just so sweet or sad at points. This would be a great book for teenager to read through those rebellious years. The author in general is an amazing writer.
    • 3/5
      Very nice book! The kind you can read in one sitting and leaves you with a warm feeling inside of you than only a mother can give.
    • 4/5
      Chick Benetto has made a mess of his life, and decides to end it. In the process, though, he finds his long-dead mother, and spends one more day with her, learning about life--his, hers, and in general. Maybe a sappy book, maybe unrealistic--still, it was a very heartwarming read.
    • 4/5
      What would you do if you could have another day to spend with someone near and dear who had died? I think we'd all love to have that opportunity. Would it be your parent, your spouse, your sibling or your best friend? Or do you believe that they are still near you? My mother died almost 8 years ago and my father over 30 years ago. And yet, I think of them and remember their love and lessons all the time. Sometimes I've felt them very near to me.So, in a way, Mitch Albom is preaching to the converted here. But it never hurts to be reminded of how precious our days with our loved ones are. And it certainly never hurts to be reminded how much parents (or at least most parents) care for their children.
