Plot: The story revolves around the man Eddie
and begins with the end--the end of his life. In the afterlife Eddie meets
with five people who teach him lessons to help him understand his life.
Why read? The book
offers a unique view on the afterlife and shows it as a time of reflection
and to learn the meaning of your life. I found the book to be interesting
because death is a topic we can never fully understand and try to postpone
indefinitely.

Plot:
The Five People You Meet in Heaven was about a man name Eddie who is a
maintenance worker at Ruby Pier. His main role at the Pier is to make sure
the rides are functioning well and to keep the rides safe for the customers.
The plot in the book is based around Eddie’s birthdays and how each of his
birthday’s have a lasting affect on him life.
Why read:
The book is worth reading. At first it seems like who would want to read
about an old guy's life. But through Eddie learning about his experiences it
helps you evaluate your own. As he meets each person in heaven it helps show
the reader how important it is to value your life. It is not a edge of your
seat, action packed page turner. But it really is a very good book.

Why read?
This book is definitely worth reading. Not only is the writing
style brilliant, but the plot is intriguing. Not much can be said about this
novel without revealing the ending, but it leaves no questions unfulfilled.
It completely satisfies the reader by answering all possible questions about
where Eddie has been or where he is going. It also allows the reader to
expand their horizons on the possibilities of the afterlife.

Plot:
The 5 People you meet in Heaven is about a man, Eddie, who dies and
learns how 5 simple people have some how changed his life in a drastic way.
Some of these people were significant, while other people, he barely even
knew. These five people explain his life to him, and they teach him
important life lessons (things he seemed to have
forgotten). These life lessons relate to the struggles of every man and
women, and once you read what these five people have to teach you will find
yourself agreeing with whatever is being said. This book gives you just a
glimpse at what heaven has in store for each and every one of us.
Why read?
This book is amazing. The narration and the general plot of the story
really attract the reader, and its just one of those books you just can’t
seem to put down. The way the narration is written, is definitely different
than the narration in most books. It is just a fantastic book!
