Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by eldric mejia
Proud to be PINOY
The book is AWESOME. definitely a must-read book. Im a big fan of Tuesday with Morrie, so when i saw 5 people you meet in heaven, i immediately grabbed it from the shelves of the bookstore. I'm so into it, that i i finished the half of the book within 1 hour, then i was so surprised to find out that one of the settings is here in my country, PHILIPPINES. And it even has a Tagalog words in it, though it's grammatically wrong in our language. STILL, I'm proud to be PINOY! It's where the war happened. It definitely changed my image of HEAVEN, and it's definitely a better afterlife, so I can reflect on my pastlife and understand "WHY AM I EVEN HERE???"

Opinion
This was a very good book not only because it had a good message but it was easy to understand and very interesting because of the subject. The book kept you wondering. I dont think that anyone should have aproblem with the subject and the way that Mitch views heaven in the book because it is his opinion and noone really know how heaven is and looks like.

Who would you want your 5 people to be?
I'm not the type of person who reads books, but my teacher reccommended i read it, so I did. And I have to say, it was THE best book I've ever read. really sweet and thought provoking. I think I thought for a week who my 5 people would be. I still can't decide.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Bob R.
Very enjoyable reading for all ages.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Vince
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to discuss this book with my good friends Lindsay, James and Bradley!!!!! We all tore through it like McNabb and Westbrook are going to tear thru that Patriot defense. I have to admit, however, that the final person Eddie met was disappointing. I think Mitch Albom spent too much time dealing with characters from that war. What might have made for a better fifth person was the girl he tried to save, thus, answering his indelible question throughout the book, that he did not save her. Anyways, Our first book club meeting is tonight at Papp's. Come join us if you have some free time.
