This is an easy read for anyone who is learning to read and also for those who like a little bit of light reading. However, the plot makes you question the afterlife. This is a very descriptive book and it makes your imagination soar.…

This is a sweet parable teaching that we are all important, that our lives are intertwined in ways we don’t even know. The book is well written and the premise and structure are original and effective. Eddie died suddenly in an accident.…

A sweet read with an interesting approach to heaven. I do not at all think this is what heaven is like, but the storytelling in this short novel was great. I do agree with the author that our lives are more intertwined than we realize and…

"But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time." I was not sure what to expect when I started this book. I was afraid it would be too sappy or too corny or just too much. I was wrong. From beginning to end, this…

I'm lowering my rating to one star because I'm convinced that this is a book that probably isn't meant to be read twice. The subject of death (which is prominent in every Mitch Albom book I've ever read hits too close to home. That being…

"Over the course of human history, the unknown beyond death has been a topic of much discussion. The sheer gravity and relevance it has towards every reader permits a wide range of works, from the solemn to the whimsical. The Five People…

This book has a cool concept, but mediocre execution. Only the part with his wife is worth reading. Also, some of its lessons are downright distasteful. You know you're reading a conservative white man's conception of heaven when everyone…

Exceptional, deep read. An elderly maintenance man dies when he saves a child's life endangered by a ride's failure. Arriving in heaven, he encounters five people who answer the questions about his life, how he became the man he was, and…

It was a pleasant reminder that everything happens for a reason. We’re all connected in ways that we know or may not know. Life goes on and has meaning because it’s not just your life to live. We are all living for each other and always…

Like many of Mitch Albom's works, The Five People You Meet in Heaven concerns death and what lies after the end. And this one, like the others, is equally brilliant. Eddie is the head of maintenance at Ruby Pier, a boardwalk. When an…

In high school English, some people read classics like Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Diary of Anne Frank; others great YA fiction like Warrior cats, His Dark Materials, and the Hunger Games. My class? We had to stick with…

The audiobook is absolutely authentic. The five people you meet in heaven rolling along with very expressive music, the book explains the character's feelings. How the teenagers gave Eddie headaches and how his heart pounded as he rushed…

This is a good read. This is about an amusement park maintenance man named Eddie, who died & met 5 people who have somehow touched his life and he learned the value of his own life.

Very good read. Thought evoking for me. I thought it a bit depressing or sad, and life can be that way. I love the idea of things connected in ways we don’t even know about. Good ending, tying it all together.
