After reading a few average books by Mitch, The Next Person You Meet in Heaven finally brings back his elusive magic.

The idea of the afterlife is in itself fascinating. Mitch's vision takes it to another dimension.

How beautifully he has linked this book to its prequel is lovely.

I think my start/end date says it all. It’s my habit to reread the previous books in a series before reading the new one, especially when they are published this far apart... that way I have the full story in my head when reading the latest book. However, I didn’t have “Five People” at home, so I read the first few pages of “Next Person” to whet my appetite while waiting for the other to come in from the library. I became so engrossed in this new story that I ended up reading the entire book cover-to-cover in one sitting. ❤️

"Tidak ada kisah yang berdiri sendiri. Kehidupan kita saling berhubungan bagaikan benang di alat tenun, jalin-menjalin dengan cara-cara yang tak pernah kita sadari"

Ceritanya tentang keresahan yang terbalut fiksi. Setiap manusia memiliki agama masing2 yg dipercayai. Manusia yang telah meninggal pun berhak masuk surga dengan memiliki timbangan kebaikan.

Yah betul manusia juga banyak kesalahan yang telah dilakukannya. Apa dia berhak masuk surga? Jadi buku ini ada jawaban yg mencakup keresahan itu yh. Keren bgt Mitch Albom

Great follow up

What I Did Like:
-The little details that harkened back to the original book were cool. It wasn’t so much that you felt like you needed reread (or read at all) the first one, just little nods to things you remembered if you did read it.
-Connections. Again, as it was in the first book, this one focuses on how human lives intersect and the impact you can have on another person. I loved that.
-Eddie. Man, I love this guy. He was my favorite in the original book and his small appearances in this one worked for me. He’s just well written.

Who Should Read This One:
-Readers who loved the first one.
-People looking for an inspirational, yet non-traditional, message about what happens when we die.

My Rating: 4 Stars. I enjoyed this one and recommend it, but I wasn’t crazy about the ending.
