While he is in heaven Eddie (who the story is about) meets five people whos paths he crossed. When he is done learning how his life was affected by this person, he learns a lesson. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I thought the book had a great ending and had many details. When i first started this book i couldn't put it down.

Summary: teaches a broad new perspective
Review: i read my brother's "tuesday with Morrie", and somehow, cried like 4 times. the book is filled with inspiration and new thoughts of how this weak professor can still smile on his last days.

Basically its about this old man who feel insignificant about his life, when suddenly he knew how much he affect certain people's life when he got to heaven. I dont wanna spoil the surprise and stuff like that. so just read it obn ur own!!

Summary: Heaven -- and Morrie
Review: I bought this book because I loved Tuesdays with Morrie, the author's first book. Morrie, an elderly college professor, stricken with a Lou Gherig's disease gave his best till the end. Morrie is an inspiration to us all and his memory lives on. The Five people You Meet in Heaven basically asks us to say what we need to say to those we love and respect. A simple message, not nearly as touching as the message in the author's first book. I recommend Optimal Thinking-How To Be Your Best Self to obtain the simple thinking style that Morrie used to make the most of every situation -- including his darkest moments. I recommend The Five People with the proviso that you do not have the same expectations that you had from reading Morrie.

Summary: Great Read - Share with Friends
Review: I found this book not only entertaining but enlightening. It really gives a great point of view - why we are where we are in life and how we are all connected. I'm going to have all my kids read it and am giving it as gifts to all my sibs and sib-inlaws. That's how good I think it is.

Summary: Not like the first effort BUT a nice read
Review: Mitch Albom's first book was great. This, on the otherhand was not. There were no nuggets of wisdom and thus it is a different book than Tuesdays With Morrie. It is similar to Lovely Bones in a sense as it is only one's "interpretation" of the afterlife. I think we all may be judging Albom based on the type of book Tuesdays was and Five People was in a different vein by far.
As for a read - it is one you can devour in one sitting; a plane ride, an extended wait anywhere. It's not deeply thought provoking but it is some lightly interesting bubblegum for the mind.

Summary: A Heavenly Read
Review: In the book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven," Mitch Albom has again proved himself to be a writer of depth and imagination. He makes the reader see how life is one big connection and why each of our lives do matter in the end. Even if we think of ourselves as ordinary, we are indeed extraordinary in the big picture. Albom has a fast, breezy style of writing. He clearly has another best-selling book on his hands. As a former sportswriter who covered events with you, Mitch, I wish you all the best.

Summary: The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Review: I went to see Mitch Ablom speak at my college. I hadn't read either of his books, but I had heard from so many people that Tuesdays with Morrie was wonderful and so I went. I bought The Five People You Meet in Heaven and sat down to wait. I was on page 50 in a matter of 20 minutes or so and had had tears run down my cheeks in that short time. By the time I got to the end of the line and met Mr. Ablom I was three quarters of the way done. (he is very popular and the line was a bit long) When I met him I had to say "thank you". This little book pointed out a couple of things to me that I really needed to have pointed out. It was very good timing for me. You do really effect many people in the course of your lifetime whether you know it or not. And, most important I think, there is Peace in understanding. I have already passed this book on to several people. I think even if you don't think the writing is wonderful, if you feel the message and just read from your heart you will enjoy this book.

Summary: Just Okay
Review: There was a lot of hype over this book but when I read it I was a bit disappointed. There is a lot of hidden meaning between the lines but the story was kind of boring. The author attempts to define what his interpertation of what heaven will be like when we pass on but I feel he really falls short in keeping the reader interested. I do give the story 3 stars because there were moments that did make you think about what your own impact is on people around you while you are living.
The story is okay but nothing earth shattering!!!

Summary: Awesome Book!
Review: This book is basically about a man named Eddie who dies. However, after he dies, he gets to meet 5 people who were a part of his life. Through these visits, you learn about Eddie's life and Eddie discovers what his purpose was. This was a real tear-jerker but it was great! I would definitely read more of Mitch Albom's work based on my experience with this book. If you like any of Nicholas Sparks' books or just inspirational/spiritual books in general, this is definitely one for you!

Summary: Absolutely Marvelous
Review: I'm probably the only person on the planet who has NOT read Tuesdays with Morrie yet, but I certainly plan on reading it now. I loved this book! So much so that I've recommended to others who have told me that it touched them, also. I've always known that the impact that we have on others, friend or stranger, is greater than we ever imagine, therefore, I felt quite validated by Mr. Albom's work. No matter how small you think that your gesture is, it may mean the absolute world to someone else. I liked Eddie very much. He, in a lot of ways, is an "everyman." There are so many, especially in his generation, who gave up their dreams in order to fulfill familial obligations that ultimately sucked the life out of them. Despite the fact that he felt that his life had no meaning, in the end, he learned that he lived a life filled with more extraordinary meaning than he ever could have imagined while on earth. I felt that it gave new meaning to the phrase "finding your way home." I could hardly put this book down. When I wasn't reading it, I wanted to be. I can honestly say that I didn't want it to end. By the last page, tears were streaming down my face. The fact that I read it several weeks ago and am still affected by it says a lot. Obviously, I highly recommend it.
