Summary: A Beautiful Book!
Review: The magic to Mitch Albom's approach is that he touches upon something that we all think about - What happens after we die? No one has definitively been able to answer the question and what Albom has done is to take the comforting reply to that question (we go to heaven), and add A Christmas Carol story-twist to it. Heaven isn't necessarily filled with rolling hills and bon-bons. It's about making sense out of your life and bringing it to its natural closure. This is just a wonderful book! Two other quick Amazon purchases I also recommend are: Tuesdays with Morrie (by the same author), The Losers' Club by Richard Perez. All these books have made think more deeply about what's important in life! Now that's art!

Summary: Do I really make a difference?
Review: This book is exciting to read and helps the reader understand how a human being, irregardless of occupation or social status, can influence the outcome of other people's lives. This book is particularly important during the holiday season when so many people are depressed and find little meaning in life. I can tell you this book offers insights and wisdom from a book we have all heard of - the bible.

Summary: Don't believe all the hype!
Review: This was truly the absolute, most disappointing book I've ever read. I was looking for an interesting read, and browsed through Amazon's Top Sellers list, and this book came well recommended. IT WAS AN UTTER WASTE OF MY TIME AND MONEY.In the first few pages, the main character dies. The remainder of the book is an incredibly boring reminiscence of the man's life as he encounters a series of 5 people affected from his life in "heaven". The only reason I even continued to read this nostalgic, 2nd-grade-reading-level book was because I hoped for an ending that would give the 2 hours I wasted some meaning. All I got was an ending that, at least, put me out of my misery.

Summary: Good Little Quick Read
Review: I thought this book was very imaginative. I don't think by any means this was the best ever though. Good read for traveling or if you have an afternoon caught with nothing to do.
Go ahead, read it!

Summary: Great book for the family
Review: I actually only bought this book because Amazon had it "linked" to David Chartrand's book "A View from the Heartland," which I had bought earlier. Both are wonderful, wonderful books that should be read by everyone! Both Albom and Chartrand show us how the average, normal person finds meaning and purpose and value in his or her life. I wish both authors a lot of luck and hope both books get wide circulation.

Summary: Unsuspecting
Review: This book i read on one sit-down. It was excellent and you follow along with the main character, while he travels to different moments in his life. The ending was a surprising feat. I suggest this book to be read by everyone that holds a heart.

Summary: Tuesdays was better...
Review: For the record, i NEVER recommended this crappy book nor did i place it on my wish list. I do wish that i never wasted my time reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I will give Mitch Albom credit for his idea to write Tuesdays. The idea was so great that Mitch Albom's non-existant writing talent did not bother me. However, the fact that he is a mediocre writer was illuminated when i read this book. Finally, i think he is cocky and untalented sports announcer (in MI).

Summary: Connections
Review: Trina, a medical student, Mitch Albom has the unique ability to allow the reader to become inspired from his writings. Although this book touched me emotionally,I was inspired to find meaning in the little corners of my life. People who love the meaning of life and relationships will love this book.
I also want to recommend two books that were life changing for me, someone that lived with abuse. Nightmares Echo,Running With Scissors

Summary: A college student
Review: One of the best books I have ever read. Very touching, especially because I can relate to a lot of what Albom has to say. A must read. Give it to everyone you deeply love.

Summary: Compelling!
Review: A very interesting way to look at what life means and why we are here. I think much of the book's meaning has to do with the human psyche and how our mind influences our perception of events. I also enjoyed the Emotional Intelligence Quickbook in looking at this topic.
