Albom, Mitch. The Five People You Meet In Heaven. NY: Hyperion, 2003. 196 pages. (Fiction / Inspiration)
Eddie is an 83-year-old maintenance worker at Ruby Pier. He is currently working on saving a little girl’s life from a falling cart off of Freddy’s Free Fall. The beginning is the end, and Eddie is dead. Now he must go through heaven meeting each and every one of the five people who have touched his life in some way. Some he knows, some he has never meet. Eddie is not quite enjoying himself on his journey through life again. He only seeks one question; did he save the little girl before he died? He asks his first four people if he saved her, do they know? Or is it the last helpless number five who is going to tell him the answer? I enjoyed how this book tells you what you want to know, what happens once the main character dies? This definatly told you what you are interested in, kind of like a behind the scenes tour. I would highly recommend this book to all; anyone can enjoy this flashback on life story.
