“The Five People You Meet in Heaven” is a tender, easy read about life, death, and the invisible connections between strangers. The final twist — that the girl Eddie saw in the burning hut was real, and the little girl he tried to save survived — tied the story together in a bittersweet way.
It’s touching and comforting, though a little sentimental at times. I enjoyed it, but coming straight after There Are Rivers in the Sky, nothing quite compares. Still, a heartfelt book about forgiveness and purpose.

it was an emotional, sweet, (maybe even bittersweet) quick read, with an interesting view on afterlife but it didn’t strike me as very profound or groundbreaking. it’s probably more of a middle school book, useful in order to ease teens into mortality and introducing ideas such as the interconnectedness of humans, the butterfly effect, not judging a book by its cover, having courage and communicating your feelings even through hardships.
i’d like to see it in movie format, though, it would be something like a mystical Christmas Carol type of film.

A delightfully heartfelt story with a creative narrative structure. Verged a little too much on the preachy side, so it felt more like a fable (akin to The Alchemist).
One of my all time favorites. MUST READ. Love this author.

Not a bad book but also not one of the greatest. As can be inferred by the title, this book is about a man who dies and while in heaven, he encounters five different people who each reveal to him a lesson or impart some sort of wisdom to him about his life.
The book was short and quick to read. I liked the stories although I do feel that the lessons could have been more impactful or meaningful. I really liked the story of the last person this guy meets. That one nearly brought me to tears and for that alone, I give the book 3 stars.
