Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers.

Great Life lesson

I read this book in 3 days. It was so good I immediately started reading second book. The Next person you meet in Heaven. It helps you understand that we all have a purpose on Earth.

Favorite book ever read!

This was a book I was forced to read in school and thank god because of it. This is easily my favorite book and I've already re-read it twice and now I'm forcing my Grandma to read it. The plot twist and connections are insane and I feel like every time I go back I notice another little detail I hadn't seen before that put the thought and effort behind this story into perspective. It's a relatively short read with its ups and downs and I will preach about how much I love it until I die!

Must Read, Seriously

I don't review books, but I feel I am doing people a disservice by not letting them know about this book. This book is a 10/10! My recommendation is to read this book on a road trip through Canada while listening to a sad music playlist on Spotify with a box of tissues and a cool breeze providing ample fresh air. God really set the tone for me to read this, and I was not disappointed. I sobbed and had to close the book a few times. I really have never had such a reaction to a book, I felt altered after reading it. I plan on consuming the rest of Mitch Albom's books and hope to feel half as touched.

Inspirational Book!

This wonderful book is not what you think. It is a delightful fictional story that you will not want to stop reading about each person the main character Eddie meets in Heaven. I loved reading this easy to read, flowing story and did not want it to end.

Every person matters, every decision transcends

No one knows for sure what we will find when we die. Mitch Albom offers in this book, with a friendly style that captures the reader from the beginning, an intuitive proposal and quite close to our nature as transcendent people. It makes it clear that the life of no human being is useless and it is fascinating to reflect on how we influence others with our actions, which may even be irrelevant to us. Regardless of the reality that we find in the afterlife, this reading helps us to reflect on the meaning of our existence and on each opportunity that is offered to us to fulfil it.

Moving!!

"Sacrifice is a part of life. Its supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to. Little sacrifices. Big sacrifices." I thought this was going to be one of those books tat is someone's account of going to heaven and back, and what they experienced while there... I was wrong! It is one of the best books I have ever read! I found myself feeling every emotion with Eddie. I wanted so badly to understand his situation and what was going to happen to him next. This book touched me so deep that after reading this book I was sobbing!! And I don't mean a few tears, I was uncontrollably sobbing! This book touched a very special place in my heart, because the day I finished this book was the same day as my Pawpaw Leonard's birthday. Eddie just reminded me so much of my Pawpaw, that I felt like I was reading a first hand account of someone I loved and held so dear to me. As soon as I finished this book, and could get my emotions under control, I called my best friend that recommended this book and just kept thanking her! This book now has me wondering what five people I would meet in heaven, and who I would be in line to help to transition. . . . WARNING!! The ending of this book will absolutely shatter your heart and then put it all back together in just 5 pages!!
