From the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie, a war veteran encounters the true significance of life after death in this touching modern classic. On his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic amusement park ride accident in an attempt to save a little girl’s life. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by both loved ones and distant strangers. As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself. In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom will change everything you’ve ever thought about the afterlife—and the meaning of our lives here on earth.

"A beautiful look into the afterlife. A twist on the classic expression “your life flashes before your eyes when you die”. While this is a sad read, it’s also one of hope. I read this for this first time in college. I had to take a class on death and dying. One assignment was to read or watch two things that had to do with death. I chose this book and I remember thinking: If this is what Heaven is really like, it’s not a bad thing at all.
Eddie is going to die today. He doesn’t know it yet but we do. When he dies, there are no pearly white gates. Instead he finds himself meeting with people who had some impact on his life whether he realized it at the time or not. Five people to be exact. They will help him answer questions and realize truths. "
"One of the best books, read in the span of 2 hours. "
