Synopsis
Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"

5 People You Meet... easy read that challenges thoughts
I found this book to be very thought provoking long after I finished it. I continued to reflect on the characters and the life of the characters for months. I talked about the book and passed it on to many other people. I even shared a passage at group study that had nothing to do with books or heaven. That's what makes it such an excellent book for me, the fact that it applied to many different areas of life. This book has something to say about a person's life and the title is misleading to those who think it is all about or just about Heaven and/or God. I found it to be easy to read, though some elements were almost too simplistic. Having read Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays With Morrie" first, I was somewhat disappointed by this simplicity. I think the story theme could have stayed simple, as is Albom's writing style, but still used a bit more detailed written word. In this book, I think Albom needed to do this because the story really exercises the reader's mind. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read something that does more than just entertain, but will also challenge them in some way.Read full review

Don't waste your time
This short fiction is amazing only in that is has sold as well as it has and that many people actually like it. Human nature draws us to find a description of Heaven. M. Albom's title gives the illusion that one might find a realistic, perhaps verifiable account of what Heaven will be like. Albom is so far off from the truth that any real believer of Heaven and hell would toss this novel on the floor in disgust as I did. A seasoned writer could spit a book out like this in less than a week; "The 5 People You Meet in Heaven," is elementary reading level, void of all substantiation, and even depressing if Albom's opinion is considered accurate. I wouldn't take a copy of this novel for free. I couldn't even sell it at a yard sell in good faith; I threw my copy in the trash. I couldn't pass on such sacrilege written with no compelling hints of truth that would inspire a person to seek further.Read full review

The Five People You Meet In Heaven
I found this book quite confusing and didn't get the message the author was trying to get across.My mother gave me this book she loved and gave me a copy to read.She also said I can keep the book. Three months later my mother passed away suddenly or maybe she didn't she not tell us she was very sick to protect her children one final time. I learned later that she gave all her children four including me the same little red book about the same time. I knew I would read this book with a new perspective especially in the early mourning stage, I was missing her much more than I ever imagine.I re=read the book which is rather short, and as I cried and tears stained the pages I knew that my mother would be one of the 5 people I will meet in heaven because she was always there for us in heaven. The book has a very direct message . What we do and how we live our lives is our choice, life is short and "live each day like it is your last" you never know when that day will be like the main character Eddie a simple older man, who knew all he would ever be is a man fixing rides in a run down amusement park which is dull and meaningless it seems Eddie is a inspiration to all mankind because he is dedicated to this job and concerned about the safety of all the ride running safely.Ironically, he dies trying to save a life of a little girl who falls out of a defective ride.Death a total surprise was a result of another person not properly doing his job and a ride broke apart iro making sure it was running properly, ironically Eddie died doing the job he loved . I started to think of anything I did in my past that possibly caused another's death,For every action there is a reaction. Every life is meaningfull and Eddie is a inspirational charactor in this story. We are all equal in the the end no mattter how much money or material things we acquired in life. How we lived our live and how we treated others is the only important things we take with us after we leave this world. Eddie also learns that while we are alive we must resolve personal grudges and let anger go before its to late especially with loved ones. Eddie still has ro face this issue with his father. The point validify love and work out problems with loved ones while you are both alive, death may not give you a chance to finish personal business and that is final we don't get another chance. The book is rather short , I read it in about 2 hours, a great beach book! It is great for those who like Sylvia Brown and John Edward's books, like their books this little red book opened up a new way of looking at the world and although my mother is gone she gave us hope giving us this book that maybe one dsy we will meet in heaven. This book is timeless original Book reminds us one day will die and death may come very when you least expect it.The writing is excellent original and tells a very inspirational story . I read it months ago and I still think about this book almost daily. It has helped me to get out of bed snd to start to living again> My mother is gone but not forgotten,She would sayz"this too shall pass" meaning get on with your life. This book is to be a bew classic for generations to come. Read this book!!!Read full review

THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN
Doubtless, this was one of the most touching and emotional books I have ever read. It was recommended to me by an elderly minister in Abilene, Texas. When I first picked it up and started to read, I hated the beginning ... I wanted to put it down ... but I kept on reading. One of the things that made the book so endearing to me, and which kept me reading, was the introduction of each new and totally intriguing person that would take the main character of the story back into and through another segment of his life already lived. Meeting them is quite an adventure. Mitch Albom's gift at description is marvelous; the reader can practically see what is happening every step of the way. And yet there was simply no way to anticipate where this uncanny journey backwards in time would lead the main character, or how it would so delightfully carry him to the end of the journey, his quest for understanding and answers. There is a mathematical oddity we identify as "the six degrees of separation." That came to mind throughout this book. In life, we may never discover the way in which a decision we made, or an action we took, impacts another -- someone we might not have ever met. This book causes one to consider that and step more carefully. Life is fragile. And temporary. The storytelling is remarkable, so perfect, so applicable, so thrilling. There is great satisfaction in reading this book and enjoying the beautiful tie that binds it all together.Read full review
