Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by cameren
a pack of old ladies cornered me at work and insisted(!) i read this book, they- like most reviews i have just read thought it was inspiring and thought provoking. oh good lord, i can definately see the appeal of this book for the under 17 and over 45 crowd and also for people that are not avid readers. it's a quick read and it puts the oft debated life after death debate into a sweet little package. it was impossible for me to become emotionally tied to the shallow and one dimensional characters all equipped with thier own sad little story meant to evoke i felt some kind of emotion but falling short. the idea of heaven was alot like "bill and ted's bogus adventure" 's idea of hell, kooky sentimental (but cute and sweet) repitition. i would never recommend this book to someone that was serious about reading. but i might read it to my gramma. -cameren, 22

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Christie
I just finished reading, The five people you meet in heaven. I'm very glad that I picked this book to read it for my bestsellers reading class. It gave me a new perspective on how we live our lives from day-to-day. It also made me realize just how much the things that one person does can impact another person's life. This book offers a very comforting view on life after death. I would love to get to heaven and meet five people who would explain the purpose of my life to me and why the things that happened to me happened. I really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to all readers!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Molly Mitchell
GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Jessica
I just finished reading, The five people you meet in heaven. I think it was a very good book, and im glad i was able to read it. It gave me a new perspective on life after death. Also, it makes you think who your five people in heaven would be. No one truely knows what happens after death, but this is an excellent, and postive outlook. Another great thing about this book is religon is not a big factor. It does not matter what religon you are to enjoy this book. Good job!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by ben k.
This simple, but fantastic story of a man learning his place in the world AFTER he's dead, will entrance readers both relegious and not. Mitch Albom has created a feel good journey for the reader that may help, as well as entertain. Pass this book to as many people as possible.

Five Stars!!!
