The Five People You Meet in Heaven Review
This is an inspirational book that touches the hearts of those who read it. It was almost impossible for me to put down and always left the me eager to find out what was going to happen next. This touching story can relate to everyone’s life, and really gets the reader thinking about how connected everyone in the world truly is.

The Five people you meet in heaven
I began reading this book as a school assignment and fell in love with it. I didn't want to stop reading. As a teenager who isn't really into reading this book is amazing. I love the story and the characters and the all around meaning of it. Good job Mitch I hope you continue to write such amazing books.

well done!
I read this book for a school assignment and I honestly did not want to put it down. Mitch Albom's portrayal of life after death was really well done. His writing styles made me want more and more...

how the bookchanged my thinking on life
After reading this book, I thought of life differently. Mainly how we impact peoples lives we don't even know and how they impact ours. The whole question of "Why am I here?" was very well answered. In my religion class we were studying the same thing of "why are we here?". the theological answer and reasoning is a lot more complex, but this book explains it very well in easy terms. It also made me wonder if we do meet five people in heaven, who will my five be and who will meet me.

Love it
I just start reading the book, it is fantastic.
I was force to read this book because it was a mandatory. But the line 'every ending is a new beginning' captured my attention. A wonderful book to read!
