This book is very touching and makes us wonder who will be our five people/
Betty Ann

I am 67 and loved this book as I loved Tuesdays With Morrie. The surprises of who we meet intrigued me in this waiting time of ours after death. It put me to thinking how I want to relate to each person I meet in future and to reflect on those who have touched my life and how I think about those I have touched. Keep writing Mitch.

A classic, original story that will make you think, cry and exmine your own life. Read this book as soon as you can!

Where to begin -- this just called out to me. I read it at a gallop -- actually sobbing through the last of the 5 people. It made me think about my life and the loves of those around me so differently. Do yourself a favor -- get a copy of this book right now!

I was so touched by this book. I couldn't put it down. The ending was so wonderful and unexpected. I haven't seen my husband of 25 years sit and read a book during our entire marriage. He was actually reading this one at a local football game as we sat in the bleachers!!!

Short but it packs a wallop. I sat and sobbed as the last of the five people that Eddie met explained what his life was really about. This is a keeper and a sharer! A gifted author gifts us!
Emily Brooks

The book is awesome! It is truly inspiring.
