Is "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" worth four bucks per person?

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: Is this book worth the $20 cover price? Not really.
Review: From the very first pages of The Five People You Meet in Heaven, the reader knows that the main character is going to die. Eighty-three year old Eddie is a maintenance worker at Ruby Pier amusement park. And the first chapter slowly counts down to...

The Tao of Bumper Stickers

Date of Review:  Jan 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: Go ahead and read the five people you meet in heaven. At least it's more complex than "My Labrador Retriever is Smarter than Your Honor Student" (although that's actually true).
Review: What's going on in the corridors of publishing power? Just take a look: books written for kids get longer and longer (and more expensive), while books ostensibly written for adults get shorter. Don't believe me? Try comparing the heft of Harry...

The Five People You Meet In Heaven - If Only, It Was Really Like This...

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: A fantastic follow-up to Tuesdays With Morrie. Buy a copy for yourself. Buy one for your best bud too.
Review: Death.

It's scary. The whole pre, during, and after of it is a mystery but more importantly, it's a certainty.

What's it like to know that you're going to die? Sure, we all know that we're going to die someday, but what happens...

Mitch Albom explains the meaning of life...

Date of Review:  Jul 18, 2006
The Bottom Line: I wonder who I'll meet in Heaven.
Review: I'm a little late to Mitch Albom's party. I remember a few years ago, when his book Tuesday's With Morrie was hot. I was curious about all the hubbub, but never got around to actually buying the book. My mom read it and sent me a copy. I liked it...

Haven't I Seen You Somewhere Before?

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: This book helped to bring up my spirits.
Review: I have been looking for a little inspiration lately and I remembered hearing all these great things about the book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven. So I decided to give it a read, if for no other reason than to lift my own spirits. The fact that...

Short and Sweet

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: "Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal." ~ Sir Thomas Moore
Review: With The Five People You Meet In Heaven, in under 200 pages, Mitch Albom brings his reader a lovely impression of life after death. I'm one of the few who hasn't read Tuesdays With Morrie, Albom's predecessor, so I could be missing my mark when I...

The End is Just the Beginning

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: I recommend buying this book. It's a good book to read again at times of loss or give away to someone who may have need of comfort.
Review: First published in 2003 The Five People You Meet in Heaven is an uplifting book. I believe the book speaks of a pre-heaven where the main character, Eddie, meets five people who prepare him for heaven. They are an unlikely group of people some not...

What you say/do today, could save a man's life tomorrow...

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you read, you will enjoy this. It is simple, without a bunch of fillers that are meant to add more pages.
Review: I met Frank Walker at the Five & Dime two weeks ago and told him how well he looked in his new suit.. Frank saw Sharon two days later and because I commented on how great he looked, he had enough confidence to ask Sharon to the movies. Once Sharon...

Good heavens!

Date of Review:  Mar 22, 2004
The Bottom Line: Enjoyable enough, but not as moving as one would hope
Review: The good intention of the novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven (198 pgs., Hyperion, $11.97) is to show that ordinary people are capable of extraordinary things. Unfortunately, the novel doesn't make an entirely convincing case.

The...

Eddie - A story that starts at the end

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: The Five People you meet in Heaven is an inspiring book, and encourages people to believe their may be life after death
Review: "This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."

Although the...
