    About this ebook

    Eddie tiene 83 años y trabaja en el parque de atracciones de una ciudad de provincias norteamericana. Ha pasado toda su vida en este lugar, a excepción de su participación en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un episodio que le marcó profundamente. Su vida acaba de forma trágica al salvar a una niña que está a punto de ser atropellada por un coche de la montaña rusa. Eddie se encuentra ahora... en el cielo. El paraíso aparece como el lugar donde, por fin, entendemos el sentido de nuestra vida en la tierra. Así, Eddie se encuentra con las cinco personas que más han influido en su vida, de forma directa pero también indirecta, sin que él se diera cuenta. Y así surgen dos preguntas capitales: ¿De qué manera nuestra vida está ligada a la de gente que no conocemos? ¿Cómo influyen nuestras decisiones en la vida de otras personas?

      Eddie was the top maintenance man at a seaside theme park at the Ruby Pier and on his 83rd birthday gave his life trying to save a little girl's life. Now, he's in heaven meeting the first of five people who will explain his life to him. The first person is The Blue Man, a sideshow freak at the Ruby Pier. He drank too much silver nitrate to cure his nerves and it turned his skin blue so he joined the show to make a living. Eddie's ball ran out into the road just as he was learning to drive a car and he slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting him, but the shock to his heart caused him to have a heart attack and die. Here he learns that life is short.Then he meets with his old Army Captain from World War II when he was captured in the Philippines. They were starved and tortured, but one night they overtook their captors and decided to burn down the buildings and village they were being held in. Eddie could have sworn he saw someone in one of the buildings and ran into it to save whoever it was inside, but it was just a shadow. His fellow soldier tried to stop him but was unsuccessful and Eddie was getting burned so his Captain shot him in the knee to bring him down so they could get him out of there. Losing his knee meant losing his dreams on the life of becoming an engineer because for him the War had really become real for him at that moment.Eddie will go on to meet the Ruby of Ruby Pier and learn about forgiveness and letting go and then meet his wife. The fifth person will be a complete surprise and someone you won't be expecting, which makes the book worth reading. Eddie is a man who does not think much of his life and while this book shows the good and the bad, Eddie is more than just a maintenance man for a theme park. This book shows how we are all special in our own way and that there are five people waiting in heaven to explain to us why. I was expecting this book to be a real saccharine read that overdid the waterworks, but I was wrong. It wasn't sugary at all but rather realistic in the parts that deal with life on earth and logical with the ones that deal with the afterlife. I can't promise, though, that it won't keep away the waterworks as my book club read this book and some of them cried during parts of it, but it doesn't manipulate you into crying. I have to admit this is a very good book and I give it four out of five stars.QuoteThat there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven p 48)Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven p 49)No life is a waste. The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven p 50)All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others, crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces beyond repair.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet In Heaven p 104)Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother’s approval, a father’s nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet In Heaven p 126)People say they “find” love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find is a certain love.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet In Heaven p 155)Life has to end. Love doesn’t.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet In Heaven p173)Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven p 141)

      Now this was a sweet little book. I liked the way it was written, the format of the book & the storyline....I can see why this has been such a success, its so enjoyable & heart-warming. Its far from a challenging read being so light, but its touching & it does make you think.
    • 5/5
      A beautifully written short novel about what heaven might be like for a elderly man named Eddie. A novel rich in emotions this book has became a favorite.
    • 2/5
      This book started out very promising. Creative premise. Unfortunatly the writer couldn't pick up the pace enough to keep the story from dragging. This is probably better-suited to a short-story format. Not a bad book all in all, but I don't feel it delivered what it promised.

      I've read several books lately with circuses, theme parks or museums of oddities in them (Night Circus, Virgin Earth, The Museum of Extraordinary Things) so that theme in this book stuck out more for me. In this book the focus is on a man who has spent his whole life working or living around an amusement park where his father worked as well. His father was the maintenance man for the park, and when he died, the son took over that job. Now at the end of his life he dies trying to save a child from a falling compartment, and as he makes his way through a sort of induction into heaven, meeting 5 people linked in some way to his life, he can't stop wondering whether he succeeded in saving the child. If I wanted to believe in a heaven, the one described in this book is a pretty neat concept, and the story is fun and thought-provoking regardless.

      I approached this title with some caution, not being a great fan of moralistic writing. However, the ease of the narrative style soon won me over, and I discovered this as both an intelligent and an emotionally intelligent work. In truth, I found it more accessible than, say, a lot of Paulo Coelho, which I can admire from the point of view of the craft of writing, but which puts up more barriers for me in its apparent intent. Maybe Albom's motivation here is still to be motivational, but at the same time, the novel works well on a structural level, and the concept of heaven can relatively easily be taken as an illuminating literary device, without necessarily heading off into the uneasy terrain of evangelism. It's not that the book is without 'teaching', but the teaching is also used as a literary device, which possibly makes the work easier on a secular eye. This is fiction with sentiment, but without being overly sentimental, and for me it is stronger for walking that tight-rope.
    • 3/5
      I only found this book to be so-so. Based on the high reviews, I really expected to have a sort of mind-blowing experience with the content of this book. The plot appeared interesting, and I had hoped this would be one of those books that stayed with me for a while.

      Unfortunately, this book was not so profound for me, and I never made that connection with the characters. I appreciate the attempt, but this book was just not for me.
    • 4/5
      I enjoy Mitch Albom. I read Tuesdays with Morrie around the time this book was released. Always meant to pick this one up as well, but never did. Of course, then I hit up my local library sale, where I always seem to find the best hidden gems as far as my own reading tastes go.Anyway, this is a quick read, but enjoyable. I definitely like Albom's interpretation of Heaven, where we are greeted by the people in life who most influenced us (either knowingly or unknowingly) or whom we influenced somehow (again, knowingly or unknowingly). Following Ruby Pier maintenance worker Eddie on his journey to meet the five people most influential in his life, along the way learning his life story. As we are only presented with the end of his life at the start of the book, this becomes a fascinating way of telling the story of a man and the impact he had on the world.I can see why this one is on so many recommended reading lists, and I'm glad I finally gave it a go.
    • 4/5
      A quick and heartwarming read, perhaps bigged up a little too much so my expectations were pretty high. It didn't disappoint Too much however but this book probably doesn't need me to recommend it any further.
    • 5/5
      super Book!
    • 4/5
      Eddie dies in an unfortunate accident and meets 5 people who either had a major impact on his life or he impacted their life. They teach him five unchangeable truths. A realization that we are always affecting those around us, for good or for bad and often times we don't even know it. Our lives are all a tangled web, intertwined and unbreakable for generations prior and generations to come. I loved it! Very thought provoking!
    • 3/5
      Charming but lightweight, with a simplistic, Christian left philosophy. The characters Albom creates are nicely drawn out, but overall, it leaves you feeling like you had dessert without any lunch, and leaves you feeling slightly sticky from all the heartwarming syrup.
    • 4/5
      Thought provoking. "that there are no random acts. That we are all connected, that you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind." Great Book!Listened to on Audio Erik Singer - best audio production on cd
    • 3/5
      I'm not sure what to make of this book. I enjoyed the story, I guess, although I found it depressing in a way. I am not sure how I feel about the vision of heaven that is offered or the lessons that are learned. I did not find this as inspirational as some have found it, and certainly not as life-changing. At least I have read it.
    • 5/5
      "This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time."

      This is the first paragraph of 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' by Mitch Albom and I think that it is the perfect introduction to the story. With this and the title of the book, it is pretty obvious what the book is about and at first, I thought that knowing what it was about entirely would ruin the book, but I found that the language and the characters were so poignant that I read this in one sitting.

      The writing style in this book is phenomenal. There were some points where I literally had to stop reading, to just absorb particular sentences because they were just that beautiful and thought-provoking. The themes brought up in this could have been approached in a really preachy way, but Mitch Albom executed this story perfectly, adding enough deep thoughts to make the reader think about philosophy and religion whilst they are reading, yet it does not distract from the main point of the story.

      As an individual who personally does not follow a religion, I found that some of the ideas raised in the novel were very interesting, taking a very neutral stance on the afterlife but still giving strong ideas about it. Thinking about the idea that all of your actions, no matter how small, affect you or someone you may not have even met, in a big way and it really makes you think about life in a different way.

      This book is made up of Eddie's experiences in heaven, as well as diary style accounts of what happens after his death to the people he worked with, and also accounts of his past birthdays, building up Eddie's history and character in a really unique and interesting way.

      I would thoroughly recommend this book to everyone! The writing was amongst the best I've ever read and I honestly can't explain how much this will make you think about things in a different way.
    • 5/5
      This is the first of Mitch Albom's books I read and I could not put it down , I started reading one afternoon and stayed there till I finished . It affected me in so many ways . I never used to rave about books but this is the first book I remember holding up to people saying it will change the way you think. I know nutcase , but the people who did read it all came back to me and said yes they understood , the impact we have on others lives without realising it is just mindblowing......... makes you think........ read it it's a must
    • 4/5
      I adore Mitch Albom novels. I cheered when this book was made into a movie.

      The Five People gives a glimpse into eternity, and a chance to understand the past. The main character meets with five people who shaped his life, and the journey is beautiful. It is a quick read, but has a lot of substance.
    • 3/5
      In Mitch Albom's first attempt at fiction, the story weaves its way around Eddie, an 83 year old man that the narrator says is about to die at the beginning of the novel. After dying, Eddie views his funeral and reaction from his friends, and relives parts of his past as five different people take him through the afterlife after his death. Eddie's five guides reveal how he affected their lives in ways he didn't even realize.Albom used a more experimental method of storytelling in this novel. It was a bit of a different take from a man who was a sports writer and then wrote a massive best-selling memoir. His diverse background lends himself to approaching a novel in a way a traditional novelist probably would not try. There was some good and some bad. The storytelling was light-hearted but a bit sappy at times. There was nothing hard hitting in this story, either from a plot standpoint or an emotional viewpoint. That makes this story an interesting read, but nothing spectacular.Carl Alves - author of Blood Street
    • 4/5
      I was ready to dislike this book.

      However, a friend whom I respect recommended it to me and, since it is so short and I own a copy, I figured I'd give it a chance. I thought it was going to be a treacly piece of pop culture - or at least a real disappointment (The Shack) - but I found myself absorbed for a weekend in this worthwhile and well-written little book.

      I should probably start out by saying that I listened to the unabridged audio - read by the author. I highly recommend it.

      So - I'd like to recommend it without giving too much away. Thus - a few bullet points.

      - Despite the title, this is NOT a religious book. Yes - it is essentially set in "heaven," but it is done in such a way that it could be viewed metaphorically. Basically - don't let your hang-ups about religion (positive or negative) distract from the point of the book.
      - I was particularly impressed with Albom's descriptive skills.
      - Pulls at the heartstrings without being maudlin or predictable.
      - Essentially - a brief, worthwhile jolt out of the ruts of daily life we all fall into and, in my case, a reminder of how much I need to appreciate what I have around me NOW.
    • 5/5
      Excellent book!! My daughter recommended this book after reading it at school. What happens immediately after a person dies? Through his the story of Eddie the amusement park maintenance man, Mitch Albom describes heaven as a place where you learn the meaning of your life through five people you interacted with on Earth. This is a very touching story and a quick read.
    • 5/5
      Brilliantly written by one of my favorite authors. Enjoyable and a quick read. but have a tissue present. I cried for most of the last wonderfully moving half of the book. Worth the read. 9/10
