The Five People You Meet In Heaven: The global bestseller that has touched millions of hearts by Mitch Albom

3.0

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.
