The Five People You Meet In Heaven Mitch Albom "I found out about The Five People You Meet in Heaven when it was advertised as a movie, and frankly, I was interested in the theological implications of it since I don't believe in heaven. It's about a man named Eddie who dies at the age of 83 and has unresolved issues in his life, and the purpose of heaven - or at least the initial introduction to heaven - is to resolve those unresolved issues with the aid of five people in his life. I liked the way they built on the characters, and I liked the way it started off with the end. It's the only book I've read that started off with the words "The End," the point being that the end is a new beginning. It didn't change my mind about anything. It was inform- -- I mean, entertaining rather than informative. It was sort of one man's view of what heaven should be like. It's a good read. It's an amusing, philosophical adventure, but not something that really holds my interest deeply."
