The Five People You Meet in Heaven

The story follows Eddie, a grizzled war veteran, into the afterlife after his tragic death. Instead of finding a lush Garden of Eden, he meets five people who will explain to him his earthy life. In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom gives us an astoundingly original story that will change everything you've ever thought about the afterlife--and the meaning of our lives here on earth. With a timeless tale, appealing to all, this is a book that readers of fine fiction, and those who loved Tuesdays with Morrie, will treasure.

I honestly kind of expected more from this book. It is a good book but I thought it was going to be deeper.
