The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, A Review by Rebecca Moll
Mitch Albom's idea of the after life is full of imagery, vibrant and creative, unique and thought-provoking.
The Five People you Meet in Heaven is a wonderful catharsis for those looking for their loved ones in the chaos and loss that comes with death.
It may even be a life-changing, if you think about your five people, before you die.
As for me, I hope things turn out differently than Albom's life-to-death-to-heaven process. I find comfort in the unknown, the idea that I could never fathom, let alone comprehend, what comes after we take our last breath.
I do look forward to meeting those I've lost, but if Albom's plan proves true, I hope there's a re-write in the header:
"The One Person You Meet in Heaven"....
Who is that you ask? Why, Peter, of course, by-pass purgatory, all the guilt and shame and walk straight through those pearly gates, head straight to the family/friends reunion.
Idk, maybe that's the idea, the so-called meaning of life, reaching enlightenment, getting self-actualized. I prefer the phrase, "finishing the job," or "No Carry-on Baggage."
But, what do I know?
I'll probably have 500 people to meet in heaven....that is, if the escalator goes up.
