false 3431 50 Part melodrama and part parable, Mitch Albom's <I>The Five People You Meet in Heaven</I> weaves together three stories, all told about the same man: 83-year-old Eddie, the head maintenance person at Ruby Point Amusement Park. As the novel opens, readers are told that Eddie, unsuspecting, is only minutes away from death as he goes about his typical business at the park. Albom then traces Eddie's world through his tragic final moments, his funeral, and the ensuing days as friends clean out his apartment and adjust to life without him. In alternating sections, Albom flashes back to Eddie's birthdays, telling his life story as a kind of progress report over candles and cake each year. And in the third and last thread of the novel, Albom follows Eddie into heaven where the maintenance man sequentially encounters five pivotal figures from his life (a la <I>A Christmas Carol</I>). Each person has been waiting for him in heaven, and, as Albom reveals, each life (and death) was woven into Eddie's own in ways he never suspected. Each soul has a story to tell, a secret to reveal, and a lesson to share. Through them Eddie understands the meaning of his own life even as his arrival brings closure to theirs. <p> Albom takes a big risk with the novel; such a story can easily veer into the saccharine and preachy, and this one does in moments. But, for the most part, Albom's telling remains poignant and is occasionally profound. Even with its flaws, <I>The Five People You Meet in Heaven</I> is a small, pure, and simple book that will find good company on a shelf next to <I>It's A Wonderful Life</I>. <I>--Patrick O'Kelley</I> 2561472 book 1958 The Five People You Meet in Heaven total:44887|5:11873|4:14541|3:12194|2:4661|1:1630| 44887 165017 53448 4683 1 42 false false Fri Jul 27 08:00:13 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 08:16:53 -0700 2007 more...]]> 1 16 false false Wed Jul 02 17:49:15 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 17:49:15 -0700 2008 1 8 false false Thu Mar 30 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Aug 20 13:51:45 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 13:52:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 6 true false Tue Nov 04 17:13:17 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 18:53:49 -0800 2008 2 904 W.A.
