  • "From the author of the phenomenal TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE, comes this enchanting, beautifully written novel that explores a mystery only heaven can unfold. Eddie is a grizzled war veteran who feels trapped in the toil of his father before him, fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. The war left him wounded and his days tumbled into one another, loneliness, regret and sad dreams of what could have been. Then on his eighty-third birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic accident, trying to save a young girl who is in the path of a falling cart from the "Free Fall" ride. With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his - and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. As each of his guides lead him through heaven, Eddie discovers a little bit more about what his time on earth meant, what he was supposed to have learned, and what his purpose in life truly was. The answer is as magical and inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself."@en

  • "Part melodrama and part parable, Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven weaves together three stories, all told about the same man: 83-year-old Eddie, the head maintenance person at Ruby Point Amusement Park. As the novel opens, readers are told that Eddie, unsuspecting, is only minutes away from death as he goes about his typical business at the park. Albom then traces Eddie's world through his tragic final moments, his funeral, and the ensuing days as friends clean out his apartment and adjust to life without him. In alternating sections, Albom flashes back to Eddie's birthdays, telling his life story as a kind of progress report over candles and cake each year. And in the third and last thread of the novel, Albom follows Eddie into heaven where the maintenance man sequentially encounters five pivotal figures from his life (a la A Christmas Carol). Each person has been waiting for him in heaven, and, as Albom reveals, each life (and death) was woven into Eddie's own in ways he never suspected. Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal, and a lesson to share. Through them Eddie understands the meaning of his own life even as his arrival brings closure to theirs. Albom takes a big risk with the novel; such a story can easily veer into the saccharine and preachy, and this one does in moments. But, for the most part, Albom's telling remains poignant and is occasionally profound. Even with its flaws, The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a small, pure, and simple book that will find good company on a shelf next to It's A Wonderful Life."@en
