Good day Bibliophiles
I promised you this review so here it is. . .
I have a new favorite book of all time.
This book is more than just a fictional title, this book made me stop and think of all of the interactions I have had with people that I have come into contact with.
The Five People You Meet in Heaven follows the story of an elderly mans life and death. This man goes by the name "Eddie", often called Eddie Maintenance because of his name tag. Eddie dies while trying to save a little girl at his place of work, and thus starts a journey through Heaven. In his heaven, he meets five people, some strangers, some people he knows very well. These five people teach him lessons and help him understand the impact he may have had in their lives, and the impact they had on his.
What did we love about it?
Mitch Albom is a great writer! I got through this book in three days and this is because I really needed to know who Eddie was going to meet next in heaven and why! It was also really important for me to know what happened to the little girl that Eddie was attempting to save😞
What did we not love?
Whats not to love! I loved every bit of it so much so, that I have started reading the sequel "The Next Person You Meet in Heaven"
Favorite Quotes?
“Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think
that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and
the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves.”
“There are no random acts...We are all connected...You can no more
separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the
wind...”
“You have peace," the old woman said, "when you make it with yourself.”
