The five people you meet in Heaven | Mitch Albom
.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
.
This book is wonderful. I was half expecting to ugly cry at the end, but I think I was all cried out from Toy Story 4!
.
How I actually felt was a mixture of sadness/horror when Eddie meets the fifth person, and feeling totally uplifted. I have a belief in the After Life but not in Heaven. I love the take on the idea of what Heaven is though; a place where we understand our lives, significant events and significant people.
.
We first meet Eddie on the day he dies. We find out how he dies and then before you know it, he's in Heaven and meeting the first of his five people.
.
The book flits between Eddie in Heaven, past memories that the person he meets is involved in and previous Birthday's. I liked this as it kept me engaged and changed the pace.
.
This book will stay with me for a long time and it's probably one of the elusive "keep me forever books" rather than passing on.
