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.

Very enjoyable reading for all ages.

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.

This was a have to read book because it was our book club selection for the month of January, so I purchased the book and put it in my bedroom bookcase where it sat for months. With one week to go before the discussion, I thought I had better read that book.
I started it on Sunday night and finished it a couple of hours later. Wow, what insight, what imagination. This isn't the heaven that I hope for but it's a heaven to make you think. I have sat and pondered who would be my 5 people and of course cannot even think of who they might be.
This is well worth your read....its a fast read but I found myself the next day going over some of the chapters to better understand all its meaning.
Tonight is our discussion group and I am excited to hear what is said.

I had this book recomended to me by a family member and hoped I would like it. I found it to some of the most predictable drivel I have ever read. A great disapointment from beginning to end.
