Summary: GOOD FOR THE HEART AND SOUL
Review: Yet another beautiful book by Mr. Albom, about what we should all do a lot more! CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE! It does matter, we do have influence on other lives with what we say and do - so if we all start by being a better and more considerate person, imagine what the world can look like!

Summary: Good book
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. It was thought provoking and one of those tear-jerker, feel good kind of books. It wasn't as strong as Tuesdays with Morrie, but it was still interesting. If you let it, it makes you think about your own life purpose...and how every action has a reaction...how each person affects others, without even meaning to do so.

Summary: Seriously a fantastic book
Review: My husband bought this book for me for Christmas. I read and finished this dynamic and amazingly wonderful book this morning. I would do the book harm if I tried to summarize the eloquence of the characters, the situations and the aspects of Heaven that I have never before encountered. "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" had me thinking (and crying) about who has touched my life or whose life I have changed just by going about and living. I am a high school English teacher and this book will be high on my list of recommendations. What a fabulous literary and life achievement!!!

Summary: I just don't get it.
Review: Maybe I was looking for some great words of wisdom. A story to make me laugh and cry and to teach some of life's great lessons. What I got was a story about a man who died and met 5 people in heaven. They each had a lesson for him and the lessons weren't even worth savoring. I like Mitch Albom on the radio and I guess that I should read Tuesdays with Morrie. But this book just didn't do it for me.

Summary: Very Powerful
Review: I was transfixed by this brief book and read it in one setting on Christmas Day--truly a great Christmas present. It was inspired by the life of the author's uncle, and "Eddie" is an eighty-three year old man who has worked at Ruby Pier his entire life in varying capacities and is completely alone and in marginal health when he is killed in an accident at the pier's amusement park. The story flashes back through his life while concurrently placing Eddie with five people in Heaven who strongly impacted his life, and it gives him a fascinating and heartwarming way to look back over his life, forgive and be forgiven. This one really hit me hard, and I'll be recommending it to just about everyone as well as seeking out everything else I can find by Albom, who has quite a versatile resume. Read this one as soon as possible, and prepare for an emotional wallop.

Summary: A Feel -Good Story, but I'd dig deeper
Review: Yes, everything we do matters, even if we can't see it at the time. But, where are the ideas to help us to see what we should do at the time, where are the real problems solvers and insights to get deeper into real-life situations? 5 People is a feel-good story, but if you want real guidance and ability to know how to recognize opportunities when you see them, you'll want to go deeper - get a book like Psychic Gifts by Tiffany Snow is a good one I just finished, or find a good workbook on developing skills beyond the ones carried by us at the surface of our souls.

Review: Seriously, this book and John Grisham's "The Partner" are the two best books I have ever read. I gave 5 copies out as christmas presents and personally can't wait to read it again.

Summary: Enjoyable
Review: I enjoyed Tuesdays with Morrie and was just as pleased with The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Mitch Albom provides a enjoyable and alternative look at Heaven. He manages to be both touching and not overly wordy simultaneously.

Summary: Everything Happens for a Reason...
Review: The first book I read for Mitch Albom I loved. The Five People you Meet in Heavan is as good. Great writing, wonderful details, and challenges you in its messages and inspirations... Eddie the maintenance guy in "Ruby Park" dies in the first page of the book, and then the journey starts... Eddie, in starting his second life meets 5 people that do answer his questions, and show him that everything happens for a reason. Each one of the five people have a different message to give, and an interesting view on life. They also prove to him how everything is connected in the different lives... Very highly recommended and once you start you won't be able to stop until the end...
