Summary: This book gives mediocrity a bad name
Review: Albom's conception of heaven is trite and unoriginal. Other reviewers seem to disagree. Other reviewers also seem to think that "Chicken Soup for the Soul" is the word of God. If you like books that are humorous (e.g. Catch-22) or profound (e.g. Siddhartha), then reread one of those because you're not going to find any of that here. On the other hand, if you want something sappy and serious, but upbeat, then you've found your bathroom-reading here. This is a fast read but a short book. You're probably paying about a dollar a word here. Albom pulls out all the college student tricks (e.g. small pages, half-blank pages) just to stretch his pamphlet into 198 pages. Still, in his defense, the book shouldn't be any longer. It already starts to wear thin in parts. 2 stars.

Summary: A book I recommend
Review: This is an excellent book. It is somewhat difficult to explain but it is a very unique and inspiring view of heaven. The end is particularly inspiring. Keep a box of tissues handy. This book is a weeper.

Summary: A Great Respite
Review: Read it all on one plane ride cross-country. A wonderful break from all the bad news out there.

Summary: Pretending Christains might not make it to Heaven!
Review: The reason for such a commit is that I read a Book where a mother had to watch her seventh grade son,take on a school Corp. that protected a H.S. Coach that had abused him with a punishment of 'Twenty Naked Pushups!' in front of his entire class( this coach is sick) to me and my way of thinking (which could also be wrong) is that what we dont acomplish here on earth by standing up for ourselves and our loved ones(like what this mother is doing)what makes you think anyone on the other side and I mean anyone will stand up for you.{you reap what you sew}The Book is called "Sam's Fight For Justice"
Rating: 
Summary: Very disappointing.
Review: In ordering this book, I made the mistake in thinking that I would learn something about Which five people you meet in Heaven and why.
Instead, it was a story about a veteran and people he met in his life. It was not illuminating for my life.

Summary: This book called out to me
Review: I am a teacher, so usually the only things that I have time to read are lab reports and essays. But somehow this book caught my eye and I was drawn to it. I am so glad that it did. It confirms the belief that people move in and out of your life for a reason, which at the time you may never even know. A true gem.

Summary: It's true - It is written to help people - just not you
Review: i read this book with an intention to research on my theory - Mitch is out to make money again (why not, it's good money). it's ok - i mean there are people out there who will do more harm to make money, aint it?
but using dying (or dead) people to write a "self-help" book, to make reader to feel good about themselves? so i supposed if you are a bank robber and a murderer you better read this book becasue you will feel good that you are actually helping people, indirectly. maybe the guy you kill ought to be killed anyway.
this book is more than pathetic, it's dangerous. this book just confirmed my belief that the author simply use Morrie for his own benefit. this just makes me sick!

Summary: ANOTHER GEM BY A VERY GIFTED WRITER
Review: Like so many, I long awaited the follow up to Tuesdays With Morrie. Mitch Albom has done it again. "Five People...." is a beautiful fable that is easy to read with its messages very easy to comprehend. Mitch's character development captures the reader in a way no other writer can. He is masterful at describing the clouds and color and the true meaning of both. Bottom Line -- Read The Book. I finished it in one afternoon. If you are looking for a book that gives one mans version of the after-life than this is your book. I've got to tell you -- Mitch Albom has become my favorite author!!!!!!! And for those of you who haven't read Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom -- SHAME ON YOU.

Summary: Sorely Disappointed To Say the Least
Review: I loved Tuesdays With Morrie but this thing was the worst book Ive paid money for in years. Disappointed? Putting it mildly. Just poorly written and confusing. Tried and tried to get something from this and finally gave up. I have a home library of 2000+ books and I left this in the motel. Hate to be this negative but what a bad book.
Rating:
Summary: Waste of Time
Review: I found this book unreadable. It never overcomes it's preachy, silly tone and premise. Wait for it to come to your local library, and then avoid it.
