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: the five people you meet in heaven
Review: Mitch Albom's "the five people you meet in Heaven" is a heart warming tale of a regular man named Eddie. We follow him throughout his last day on earth and his journey through heaven. Along the way Eddie learns five valuable lessons about life. Mitch Albom does an excellent job of mixing entertainment with wholesome life lessons.
Albom uses a tale based on his own late uncle to teach some very important lessons we should all know. He uses Eddie's journey through Heaven to convey them to the reader. While in Heaven, Eddie meets up with five people who each played a significant role in his life. From these individuals, Eddie learns that even though he was ordinary, he was also extraordinary in his own way.
I felt an honest connection with Albom's character. I believe Eddie possessed qualities everyone can relate to in some form or fashion. The stories behind each character draws the reader in wanting to know what will happen next or who will he meet now. I feel that if everyone could incorporate all or a few of the life lessons in this story to themselves then we would all be better individuals.
In conclusion, this book was an overall success. Sometimes it was confusing with the flash backs, but the overall prose was great. It used vivid scenery and physical description to bring the reader on a fantastic voyage of one man's journey through Heaven.

Summary: This was a terrible read
Review: I read "Tuesdays" and loved it, as many reviewers here. I bought this book based upon the depth of that previous book. Everything that "Tuesdays" is, this is not. The story rambles, and I just don't care enough about the characters. Like other negative reviewers, I had to throw the book out after reading about 50 pages. I don't usually discard books, but this is definitely not a "keeper."

Summary: The Five People You Meet In Heaven
Review: What a wonderful perspective on Heaven! The book takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions (pun intended). The story brought me back to the days of my childhood. I could almost smell the smells, and taste the tastes. The writing is masterful, and the end left me with a tear in my eye!

Summary: Great story!
Review: I LOVED this book. I couldn't put it down, was done it in one day. A beautiful story about an old man who was unhappy in his life, who dies and finds out what it was all about. Truly heartwarming. It made me cry! I had never read any other books by this author, but now I plan to. His writing style was so descriptive, I could really picture each character and scene as if it were on a screen in front of me. Brilliant! I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is a fast read - a short book with a big heart.

Summary: Only in passing
Review: Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.This is a tale that's in the same league with "It's a Wonderful Life". That is that some lessons about the relevance of your life are only learned when all that's taken for granted is taken away. This author really handles the issues associated with appreciation of ordinary life amazingly well. I liked this one better than "Tuesdays with Morrie" so if you enjoyed that book you'll enjoy this one as well. It's a very quick, easy read. I didn't give it five stars because the fictional melodramatic theme is not my favorite genre.

Summary: Nothing like I thought it would be
Review: I bought this book hoping to get a little inspired but it did the opposite. Though I am confident I am going to heaven, I hope it is nothing like Mitch describes.
