The Five People You Meet in Heaven

By: Mitch Albom

Narrated by: Mitch Albom

From the bestselling author of Tuesdays with Morrie, a war veteran encounters the true significance of life after death in this touching modern classic.

On his 83rd birthday, Eddie dies in a tragic amusement park ride accident in an attempt to save a little girl’s life. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by both loved ones and distant strangers.

As the story builds to its stunning conclusion, Eddie desperately seeks redemption in the still-unknown last act of his life: Was it a heroic success or a devastating failure? The answer, which comes from the most unlikely of sources, is as inspirational as a glimpse of heaven itself.

In The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom will change everything you’ve ever thought about the afterlife—and the meaning of our lives here on earth.

Amazing

I absolutely loved this book! It made me cry with each person, and I liked how it came full circle in the end. Enjoyed it very much.

Lesson to be learn

I enjoyed the story line and the meeting of the five people in heaven. Everyone had a story to tell and each character had a purpose in his life. I loved it

Excellent Audiobook from Mitch A

I had previously read the book but listening to the story narrated by Mitch accompanied by a soundtrack was something very special. Brilliant!

Poignant

A very sweet story of an oh-so-typical man who never felt he fit in. From the five characters he meets, he finally learns, he fit in exactly where he was meant to be. A good lesson for us all…

A "Ghost of Christmas" feel

Always interesting to explore what we see in our life compared to how the same circumstances appear and are experienced by others. Likeable flawed characters and insight into how we all are connected.

Beautiful

Read this years ago and decided to listen to it. Mitch Albom does a great job reading it with sounds and effects.

Brought me healing that I didn’t know I needed.

It was a great and peaceful book that brought comfort and peace of mind with regard to the afterlife. I pray that this was what it was like for the son that we lost five years ago. I pray that he is among the angels and that they have explained any of the things that are at him constantly. I pray that he knows how much we miss him…

I was completely drawn in!

This was a very pleasant book to listen too. I was completely drawn into the narrative. I recommend this book to many family and friends, as someone recommended it to me. I just bought the book for my Dad for Father's Day. I hope anyone who listens to this book will enjoy it just as much as I did.

Life Changing!

Mitch Albom is my very favorite author. Again, another one of his books that is Life Changing! I love that he also narrates his books. His writing is so simple yet so enchanting that I feel forever touched after each writing. He has a unique way of reaching deep into your heart and soul! I will never be the same!!

Wonderful

This book is absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed every second of it! I highly recommend it.
