What readers think of The Five People You Meet In Heaven, plus links to write your own review.

What an Outstanding book! This book was better than Tuesdays with Morrie!!! If I were Micth Albom I'd be proud!

What an amazing book! It really makes you think about who your five people might be and what impact you've had on others. A recommended read.

Flaky presentation with nothing concrete....fans of TWM,..stay clear....

This book is just simply wonderful. It makes you realize how important everyone is in your life. I absolutely loved this book. I hope that there is a sequel. There was so many amazing things in this book. Everybody in our lives affects us in some way.It is my all time favorite book in the world. I read the whole book in 4 hours. I could not put it down. I loved it . Thank you so much for writing this amazing book. I am encouraging all of my friends to read this book.

i love this book. it surely is inspring . so touching yet so easy to read. so deep yet so easy to understand. so clear yet so meaningful. mitch albom, the best!

This book has changed my view on heaven forever. Eddie & I have thought of heaven as a " lush garden of Eden" but this story proves us both wrong. Two things that could be improved: Explain each of the 5 people Eddie meets in heaven a little bit more in depth. And my classmates & I are still trying to figure out what city/state Ruby Pier is located in. Answers to these suggestions/questions would have helped a lot when writing an essay for my 7th grade reading class! I reccomend this book to people of all ages! (Katie,12)

I loved this book. It made me think about my own life, the people in it that and the way I may affect other people. I think what I loved most of all was that the links were not obvious. It reminded me of chaos theory... the butterfly effect. Any small thing we do may have a disproportionate effect upon another person... and we may not even know that person. A humbling thought. I loved, and cried, at the end and yet it was a good and happy ending. I have bought this book for all the people that I know will love it too. It will remain with me always.

I liked the titled and it caught my attention. The theme of the book, like its title, is commendable. The author has put genuine efforts in sending a message, albeit differently, which earns him points. Considering that so many people have been able to relate to it (saw the reviews), the author has been largely successful.

Unfortunately, the book is full of cliches - the view of heaven or what each person has to say (although the five people he chose were a surprise). This is the first book by Mitch I read, and even though he has tried to keep the writing simple and "for the masses", I am a little disappointed by his choice of words in many passages. Considering the applaud that this book has received, I am not very impressed. It could have been a much better book, if the author could have woven a much tighter story. The passages get dull at many places and the plot becomes hackneyed.

Overall, a mediocre read. But the idea (that every person in this world has a meaning for his/her existence) is refreshing.
