The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom

The novel, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven", by Mitch Albom is a very easy read. It takes you through the life and death of a simple man, Eddie. The story starts with the end of Eddie's life. After his death, Eddie goes to five different peoples' heavens, just to find out how he really affected others. In each heaven, Eddie learns a new lesson he didn't get the chance to learn during his time on earth. While in these strange heavens, Eddie has flashbacks to his past and he realizes the mistakes he made and how he could have learned his lessons earlier. This book is for those who are open-minded and have a creative imagination. It is a wonderfully written realistic fantasy, and I think many people will enjoy it.
