The Book follows the journey of a man who passes away and what the author views the afterlife to contain. It doesnt hit on religion or anything just the journey of reviewing your life and the consequences which that brings. The story itself isnt to deep although is interesting at times. however some of the people he meets you would expect but its the ones you dont expect which makes it a good read.

RELEASE NOTES:

Releasing to Samuli as trade for Dean Koontz novel. Airmail 17th October Germany.

Was in the mail today. Thanks Sterile, I can't wait to read it!

What a beautiful book! I finished it in 1 day and meanwhile read it again a bit more slowly.
Alboms version of heaven is quite different to, for instance, that of Alice Seibold in “The Lovely Bones”. It is interesting for me to read what other people imagine life after death to be like. Of course, nobody can say who is right, but I think, everybody can choose their own favourite belief.
Mine isn’t exactly like either Alboms or Seibolds, but it is certainly an interesting read.
Thanks a lot for sending me this book, Sterile!

My Review: Jan 2006

I also read the book in only one day. It is really not long and ends much too soon.
But not only was it rather short, it was also very well written, so that you could turn page after page. But a question was left unanswered: after you met your 5 people and then eventually be one of 5 for someone else and your task is fulfilled ... what happens then? I'm also of the opinion, that the lesson one learns after death come a little too late. One should learn them while still alive. Maybe that was one reason for Albom to write that book and teach us something.

Book now reserved for our next ladies night, which has the topic: title with mathematical terms in it.
----------------------------------------------------

Since several of our ladies were interested in this book, we decided to make a bookray out of it. (By now I got my own copy of it).

Ladies Night - reserved for allbookedup

got the book tonight from SabinaLorenz, thanks a lot!

I plan to read this book on my holiday in Dublin and then release it there!

Picked up at the Dublin book crossing meet up. I've heard about this book and looking forward to reading it.

I enjoyed this book, which was quick to read. I agree with another reader that the lessons learnt (mainly not being so angry) would have been better learnt before death.

I am pondering if the blue man and Eddie meet after Eddie finishes seeing his five people, as they both pick the same spot as their 'heaven'

Ok, I loved it. And I was right about who's line he was going to wait in to talk to. It's a lovely book and I really liked this bad ass rough guy who really liked kids. Gets me everytime.
