The Five People You Meet in Heaven
The best seller, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, is by Mitch Album. I also read his other top seller, Tuesdays with Morie. The first chapter is a real grab - count down to death. I liked the way the author goes through segments of the main character's life as each person he meets in heaven explains it to him. The problem I had is with the underlying premiss - that everyone you meet, everything that happens in life, happens for a reason. Also, it will all be explained to you in heaven. I just think that crap happens and most of your experiences in life are due to chance. But it is an nice story and well told. A 6 out of 10.
