The Five People You Meet In Heaven

The Five People You Meet In Heaven


Mitch Albom




I really liked this book because Eddie acted as a father figure to most of the people he met in heaven. It started with Eddie being killed as an old man in an amusement park maintainer. The first person he met was the blu man, Eddie killed him by running in front of his car and causing him to have a heart attack. The second person he met was his captain when he was in the army. The captain explained that he shot his knee to save him and then the captain searched for mines to save the rest of the squadron and was blown up. The third was his father and Eddie finally found out why his dad was so mean. The fourth person was his wife and they sorted everything out. The last person he met was a little chinese girl he accidentally killed in the war when the captain shot his knee. Each person taught him a lesson and explained why things happened. Eddie finally found out that he did save the little girl at the amuesment park, then Eddie forgave everyone that hurt him in someway or another in his life. It ended with Eddie waiting for people to visit him in heaven.
