Amazing, changed my entire world view and is extremely profound.
I couldn't believe I hadn't read this book before it was picked for my bookclub. Maybe I had and I just don't remember it.
Very good book. Very creative concept of the afterlife process. Really good character development too.
Amazingly written, and such touching stories throughout this book. At 16 I was touched by this book. At 31, It still hits home. If you read it when you were younger, pick it back up and read it again. You’ll gain so much more from your personal experiences and gain a new perspective.
Mitch Albom has done it once more & as I read more of his books, I’m turning into one of his biggest fans.
The five ppl you meet in heaven follows the story of Eddie 86, a maintenance guy at Rudy pier who leads a simple life (or as he thinks he leads a simple life). But an accident at the amusement park results in his death & furthermore into his afterlife where he meets 5 different ppl, teaching him five different lesson about his life on earth.
This story was so heartwarming as well as heartbreaking all at the same time. The author has much good story telling skills, his writting kept me hook from the every beginning. Each person & each lesson is so through provoking and very reflective, making one reflect on our lives on this earth.
A very highly recommended book if u like a quick read.
