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. Perhaps this comes from his years of writing sports articles for the printed news media.
The story of Eddie's life and the people whose lives he touched, and who profoundly touched his, was interesting enough, but it is the end of the story that makes this story great. It is not until then that the genius of this work becomes evident. It is then that the reader reflects on all that came before and gains a true appreciation of the story Albom tells. May we all learn from it.
