Book Reviews of The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Book Review: this book rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I have ever read.Book Review: good stuff from Mitch
Summary: 5 Stars
no, this book is not another Tuesdays With Morrie, it's not meant to be. one could argue that the concept of The Five People You Meet in Heaven is not original, but I don't think that's really the point. this book is infused with some simple truths. sometimes you don't realize what random moments in your life mean, until something makes you understand. this book makes you remember, it makes you feel. Mitch Albom is amazing, read the column, listen to the show. some of this things he says are really profound. the writing is not poor at all, I was amazed at the brilliance of it actually. this is a GOOD book.Book Review: It makes you think about your life .......
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this book. It does jump around. But I like that way it is set up that way. It starts on the day that Eddie dies. It tells every hour what is occuring to lead up to his death. Then his death happens and he ends up in heaven. But he doesn't know the first person and what meeting this person means to him. But later as he talks to this person, he understands more. Then it goes back into his life to a much earlier birthday and what was occuring then. You get a view of Eddies life from beginning to end. The book continues this way throughout the book. Each person he meets lets you understand the meaning of your life too. How we all mean something to each other and how we all touch each other's life without even realizing it. Read the book, I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's not Tuesday's With Morrie. But it's short and to the point.Book Review: I agree--poor writing!
Summary: 1 Stars
Tuesdays with Morrie it ain't, but it is cleverly marketed to look like it. The jist of the book is that heaven is a place where your life is explained to you by five pivotal people in your life. The author flashes back and forth between the past, present, and hereafter too quickly for the story to be imbued with any meaningfulness--it was pretty banal from beginning to end. Halfway through I just wanted to put the book down and not take it up again, but I forced myself to finish only b/c it is a short book. (Incidentally, the war scenes in the book are not believable.)Book Review: No thank you
Summary: 2 Stars
What is this book? I can tell you what it is not: it is not original. It is not compelling. It is not reasonably priced. It is not intelligent. It is not wise. Wait: it is preachy. That's what it is.
Read at your own risk.
