Summary: The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Review: If you're looking for an inspirational, uplifting story,
don't read this book!
Most characters live a sad existence.
The story includes topics such as:
violence toward children, loneliness, neglect, alcoholism,
mean spiritedness, physical abuse, pyschological abuse,
and lots and lots of personal unaccountability.

Summary: Short Story Masquarading as a Book
Review: I found this book very disappointing. It was simplistic and uninspiring. Certainly not worth buying. If you must read it, borrow it from the library. I can't imagine anyone wanting it to take up space on their home bookshelves to read again later.

Summary: beauty
Review: this is NOT a sequel to Tuesdays With Morrie as some people seem to think. its not a book with fast pace action. if you cant read a book that deals with emotions, love, happiness, sadness and all that is part of a human life, dont read this book.this book describes a view of heaven, not your typical view of it but an idea of what it could be like. the author captures the emotions and feelings in a beautiful way. in a way that makes your jaw drop, in a way that makes your stare in amazement, makes you smile, and in way that brings tears to your eyes.

Summary: Mitch is my homeboy!
Review: This was a sweet little book--a nice read for a lazy afternoon.

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: Judging by the range of different reviews .....
Review: I think instead of spending the money to buy this book, I will go to Borders and read it there. I usually order books based on reviews but since the opinions of this book are so broad, the safest thing to do is read it in a bookstore. (or at least start reading it and see if I feel its worth a purchase). It gets 3 stars because that's pretty much middle of the road and fair for someone who has yet to buy it.

Summary: The Five People you meet in heaven
Review: Absolutely wonderful. Once I started reading, I could not put in down until it was finished. If you are a fan of Mitch Albom, you will not want to miss this book. Bravo!!!

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.
