The Five People You Meet in Heaven

Plot Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"

Blah, ick, zzzzz

Unoriginal, boring, and lame. Two other reviewers nailed it on the head when they likened it to an after-school special and one of those horribly saccharine chain emails sent by older ladies. Avoid.

Five People You Meet In Heaven is a tale of life and death; and about the five people the main character meets in Heaven. The writing is horrible. The format is strange. The writer often has the skill of a high school teenager writing a...

It is a good tale.

I read this book on the recommendation from a friend, and I am glad I did. I enjoyed the story. It makes you think about how/why "random" people can influence your life (and you can influence theirs). Interesting story!

Not worth all the hype

This is a story about a guy who dies and meets five people in heaven yet one would easily be mislead into thinking that these are five people who offer some meaningful insight. Instead, each person follows a bland story formula about...
