long story short
Everything that can be said in praise of The Five People You Meet in Heaven has already been written. Like so many other readers, I loved this book. I found it profound, compelling, and deeply meaningful. I dislike preachy, moralistic, religious writing,... more

Tanecia---My Reveiw
Although you might expect to pick up this book and find a religious point of view of what heaven is really like; you find a real shock, that this book is for everyone. The book has a real complex story line and bit hard to follow at first, but after... more

Interesting, Imaginative, Captivating...
I have never written a review before, but this book has compelled me to sit down and share my thoughts. Mitch Albom takes his readers through a well thought-out journey of the imagination brimming with the most colorful descriptions that draw you in... more

Plain and Simple: I liked it!

I was a big fan of Tuesdays With Morrie, a book about a man who goes back to visit his old college professor and, along the way, is reminded about the important things in life -- and not taking things for granted. Some of these themes seemed to... more

Good book
This book was good and worth reading. I like the way this guy writes. It makes you fall in love with the people in the book. It adds a differant perspective on life.

All ending are beginnings
The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a great read about life, fate, following predetermined paths, the mystery of people and the role they play in your life and the difficulty of breaking free from inherited responsibility.

The main character,... more

cheap consolation and waste of paper
If your life is miserable and you think that reading about a yet more miserable life would make you feel better; than maybe you might enjoy this book. I first felt attracted to this book by the title, thinking that a direct approach to whatever happens... more

John O' Boys Review
Well, quite a good read is really all that needs to be said about this book. My respect goes to Albom for writting such a good descriptive book.
This book deals with the afterlife-thouchy subject. But i happen to belive Albom doesn't deal too much... more

A Modern Classic
People have taken to comparing new books to past success. "My Fractured Life" (Rikki Lee Travolta) is this decade's "Catcher in the Rye" (JD Salinger) they say. "Secret Life of Bees" (Sue Monk Kidd) is this decade's "Color... more

It seems so real
I was really looking forward to reading this book, thinking that it would be profound and full of wisdom. What I found was a short book with five extremely vague lessons that were forgotten by the next page. The concept of the story was an excellent one... more

Makes you think!
I love when I finish a book- but its premise carries with me throughout the next few days. I started and finished this book yesterday- and since have thought about nothing but my life and all the people in it. Good thoughts, though.

I ordered... more

book worm
This book was great, I also loved Tuesdays with Morie. This book is an easy read. I recommend this book to anyone who just wants something good to put in your head.

An Inspiring Visionary Novel!
The Five People You Meet in Heaven is one of those simple, beautifully-written pieces that teaches us the lessons in living that we so dearly need. It's a moving account of the breadth of one whole life, that helps us to examine our own from a mature... more

I enjoyed this book greatly

The story of Eddie, an aging machinist at a seaside amusement park, his life, his loves, and his frustrations, "The Five People you Meet in Heaven" reminds us once again that it is not always what we do consciously that affects people the most,... more

nice solid work of fiction
This was not exactly a knock-out in my opinion, but definitely a nice solid piece of literary entertainment. Mitch Albom has a nice quality to his writing--it's concise, complete, all wrapped up in a nice coherent bundle of a book. I like that. He doesn't... more

Short, easy to read, and fantastic
But i didn't give it a 5 star. It had it's moment, and i won't lie and say i didn't cry, but some of the people he met just didn't seem appropriate... you're dead, there are 5 people you meet that you most affected, and you have to wonder are these really... more

A touching story
After weeping my way through Tuesdays with Morrie, I looked forward to Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven. (I actually saw the Made for TV version first and then read the book.) Albom has a way of telling a story very well in relatively few words.... more

By the end it is clear
Mitch Albom is a different kind of writer. His work doesn't hit you over the head. It's not like Rikki Lee Travolta's "My Fractured Life" or Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" where you get that tingling sensation that you are reading... more
