Readers say *The Five People You Meet in Heaven* is a heartfelt, thought-provoking story that beautifully explores life, death, and afterlife themes. ...
You cannot go wrong with Mitch Albom. As someone who comes from a religious background and has been working on what heaven means to me, this was a beautiful perspective on it. I love the idea that heaven is meant to understand your life on earth. I also think it was brilliant to show how all lives are intertwined in ways we don't think. This book brought some serious reflection on how I see my life. 
I didn't love this book, and when I finally read it, I had a sense of deja vu the whole time. Made me think I had read it before and didn't like it enough to remember I had read it.
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.
