The book, Five People You Meet In Heaven, was published in
2003. It was written by Mitch Albom. This book is set in both a fictional
heaven and in Earth. The main character is the head maintenance man from Ruby Pier
named Eddie. Eddie dies in a tragic accident at the pier while trying to save a
little girl. After his death, Eddie journeys through heaven meeting five people
that have impacted his life. Each person, having had a different role in
Eddie's life, teach him new things by reliving moments in the past.
The book, Five People You Meet in Heaven, was a very
enjoyable book to read. I learned a lot about life and many other things
through reading this book. I learned to always listen to what other people are
trying to teach you and to always be a good person because one day you will
regret it all. This book showed me that those who love you, will not always
show it, but they do. I would highly recommend this book to any teenage readers
because it teaches very important life lessons to the reader.
