Summary: A FAIRY TALE
Review: What a disappointment! I can't believe I fell for the hype on this juvenile offering by Mitch Albom. Nothing in this book
lives up to advance praise.

Summary: A real yawner
Review: I got this book as a gift and I know it was meant to be a good one and I dug right in until I couldn't take it anymore. The only thing I can figure is that the people sending in the five star reviews are with the publisher of this horrid little book. It simply does not measure up to all the hype. If you buy it, just be aware you are being sold a poor bill of goods. There's no story here and the writing is, well, lousy.

Summary: What A Waste Of Time
Review: Tuesday's with Morrie I loved, but this book really should not have been published because it was a waste of time. As a reader, I regret the time I wasted. There is nothing here that is inspirational. The story is silly, but the horrible writing was the real turn off.

Summary: What counts in life and death
Review: This book makes us look at the way we live your lives and the opportunities we have to express our gratitude to those who support our journey. It is nicely written, offers some wisdom and is an entertaining read. I recommend it! Because we become what we think about, I absolutely recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self by Dr. Rosalene Glickman if you are interested in making the most of every situation and bringing out the best in other people. It is a superb read.

Summary: A great read!
Review: I loved this book. It was a touching journey of life after death and an interesting new way to look at Heaven. I loved the characters. I just wish it had been 'The 10 People You Meet in Heaven'. I didn't want it to end.
Mitch Albom has another winner.

Summary: Wish I could return it!!!!!!
Review: I'll say it straight out. This novel is terrible!!! Don't waste your money. I did. I wish I could return it. Horrible, cloying writing, a protagonist completely unbelievable, errors in research, and just plain silly. Please, can I return this piece of trash?

Summary: strong modern day parable
Review: Eddie had worked for years at maintenance at Ruby Pier Amusement Park insuring the rides were safe for patrons. Though he did his job meticulously and everyone kind of knew Eddie, adults never took him seriously. Children seem to like him but even Eddie when he became an octogenarian reflecting back on his life felt he achieved zero. Eddie recently died trying to save a little girl.Eddie regains consciousness in heaven. Five people, one at a time, shows him the positive impact of his life on others. Though in terms of major impact, his deeds may seem small, Eddie begins to understand the essence of God's gift of life to mankind. Humanity consists of a vast series of interconnecting networks that mesh the lives of everyone. No matter how minute, that iota of caring impacts people even those outside your sphere and Eddie clearly cared. This is a strong modern day parable that reminds readers that everyone counts even Eleanor Rigby. Using a seemingly nonentity to bring his message across, Mitch Albom paints a simply stupendous story that no person is left behind as we live as an interconnected and overlapping links on this planet. Everybody has plenty to offer and should be encouraged to do so. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Lovely
Review: I'm truly surprised that so many customers have given this book negative reviews. I felt it was completely wonderful. 83 year old Eddie is a character that I adored from the first page, and I found his journey through heaven heart-warming and insightful. It's a short book, and can be read in the time it takes to watch a film; I can think of few films as worthy as your time as this little book.

Summary: Big disappointment
Review: I rushed out to buy this book when I heard about it and read it in two days. While the twist at the end was interesting, the book was a big letdowns from the reviews and the hype.
Rating:
Summary: Boring
Review: I hope the five people I meet in heaven are more interesting than this book. What a bore and on top of that I agree the writing is bad. The book reads like a first draft, instead of a well thought out story with meaning. Tuesday's with Morrie was a great book, but this was a disappointment.
