A STUNNING 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE MASTER STORYTELLER'S INSPIRATIONAL CLASSIC


Eddie no longer notices years passing. He spends his eighty-third birthday fixing the rides at the amusement park where he has worked for most of his life.


But when a cart falls from the fairground, Eddie spots a little girl in terrible danger. He rushes to save her and tragically loses his own life in the attempt.


When Eddie wakes, he discovers that death is an opportunity to learn about life, and he will have five teachers. Some he knows, while others are strangers. One by one, these individuals visit Eddie, illuminating the mysteries of his 'meaningless' existence and revealing the secret behind the eternal question: 'Why was I here?'

'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' is interesting and original in that the journey for the protagonist begins at The End. It's a heartfelt book that follows Eddie as he is reunited with 5 instrumental people in his life.

The distinctive storyline is enough to keep a reader turning the pages, but the supposed emotional impact of the book fell short for me. It tried too hard to be sentimental and the dialogue was often flooded with exposition.

But some people will like Albom's style. It will be up to each individual reader to decide what works for them. This book certainly does have its good points.
