Summary: brave
Review: Mitch was brave to write this book. I'm so glad that he did. He's given us a glimpse of what our arrival in heaven might be like and he's invoking such strong reactions from readers...love it...hate it. Interesting that most of the reviews reveal more about the reviewer than the writing itself. Reading this book challenges you to look at life from a different vantage point. Maybe some people just don't like the view. I will remember the five simple truths this book describes and I'll be happier each time I can realize one in my life.

Summary: Cashing in
Review: If you look at the cover of this little book, you'll note it mentions Tuesdays with Morrie. Albom has written some admirable things. His latest endeavor isn't one of them. Cashing in on the Tuesdays fame along with media hype may allow Albom to reap the benefits for many years to come. Sad scenario for an author who has the ability but no imagination.

Summary: One of the people you'll meet in heaven is a hack
Review: This is a hacked out piece of garbage, completely unoriginal, poorly written, monumentally boring and insulting to readers in a manipulative, almost devious way. It's also a major disappointment to someone who LOVED Tuesdays With Morrie. Mitch Albom can do so much better... right?If this manuscript was submitted to a writing teacher, it would get sent back, marked up with lots of red ink and comments in the margins that would go something like this: HUH??? WHAT??? PATHETIC WRITING! WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO FOOL WITH THIS TRIPE??? If one of the people we all get to meet in heaven is a hack writer, don't be surprised if his name is Mitch Albom. I hope one of the people I'll get to meet in heaven will be a gullible book buyer who will pay full cover price for this sad little volume of cliches!

Summary: Cool Whip
Review: An interesting idea although not very well presented. This book is more like the second or third draft of a possibly good book, both in substance and style. I was disappointed because I felt that it could have been so much better. It's the Cool Whip on top of a banana pudding: light, fluffy but you need to get to the pudding before you really enjoy it.

Summary: Dull Writing
Review: This book lacks the charm of Tuesdays with Morrie. The writing is flat and the story is rather old. The author has reworked material from Its a Wonderful Life, so the idea in the book is not original. Perhaps when the author meets his maker he can explain to the five people he will meet why he wrote this book, since the reason is not present in the text.

Summary: A poorly-written excuse of a book
Review: This is a poorly-written excuse of a book. I am astonished at the 5 star reviews and comments about this book changing lives. All I can say is that these readers have been so taken by all the hype for this awful tome that they can't see past their own noses! Either that or they don't have a clue as to what life is all about and have to cling to such a terrible book. The war scenes are pathetic and the heaven scenes cloying. I read where this book got a half-million dollars of hype and of course the author has been all over the talk shows. That's the only reason this book is being read at all. Save your money and don't be taken for a fool.

Summary: A Book That Will Change Your Life
Review: This little book by Mitch Albom, that takes only a couple hours to read will change your life. For anyone who ever wondered why they were here, what their lifes meaning was and how their life might have affected others, be prepared to understand a little better and a little clearer what your life means. You will walk around for days thinking about who the 5 people you might meet in heaven would be. It is beautifully written, without being mushy or preachy and the lessons learned here are at times quite profound. I can see where this book could very well become an instant classic, not in the sense of what we may consider the greatest literature, but instead for its truth, its meaning and its images. I beleive Mr. Albom will change lifes with this book and for that he should feel quite proud. I wouldn't mind one bit if he was one of the 5 people I met in heaven for having so affected my life with this fable he has written. Bravo!!!! . Don't miss this book, it may not affect everyone , but it will certainly touch the hearts of many readers.

Summary: My heart thanks you..........
Review: I am not much of a reader because my life is so hectic most of the time but I was passing by the book section and this books title seemed to speak to my soul.I will never walk through my life again thinking that its all in vain and every face I see will be a reminder of the lessons I am learning with every passing face.What a beautiful story to say the least.

Summary: Certainly not "Wednesdays With Morrie"
Review: I'm almost embarassed by how much I liked this book. And I'll be the first one to admit that it is not for everyone.
Albom has followed up the classic "Tuesday's With Morrie" with a parable about faith, and the impact we have on other's lives. It's part "It's A Wonderful Life" part Greek myth, and part Don Miguel Rios.
A very short story to begin with, Albom's use of language is so crafty that you don't realize how quickly the story of Eddie's final moments and encounters goes by...until you realize that you want more. And if you are moved by this book, you'll be thinking of your own "5 People" for many days after completion.
To say much more would give away the joy of finding out what is so special about each of our own "5". Suffice it to say that if spiritual based, new-age leaning, life affirming literature is your cup of tea, you're going to love this story.
